Singular theories, characterised by the presence of degeneracies in their Lagrangian or Hamiltonian descriptions, require the systematic implementation of constraints in order to obtain well-defined dynamics. While the symplectic framework…

In this remark we discuss a relationship between (co)homology classes of a symplectic manifold realized by symplectic and lagrangian objects. We establish some transversality condition for the classes, realized by symplectic divisors and…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a symplectic rational 4 manifold. We study the space of tamed almost complex structures $\mathcal{J}_{\omega}$ using a fine decomposition via smooth rational curves and a relative version of the infinite-dimensional…

We define higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a mathematical theory of sigma model coupled with gravity over any semi-positive symplectic manifolds. As applications, we verify the stablizing conjecture of symplectic…

We give new upper bounds on the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists in mapping class groups and new lower bounds on the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists in hyperelliptic mapping class groups. In particular, we show that the…

We prove that a closed manifold which admits a symplectic-Lipschitz structure has non-vanishing even-degree cohomology groups with real coefficients. In particular, spheres $S^{2n}, n \geq 2$ do not admit symplectic-Lipschitz structures.

Friedman and Morgan made the "speculation" that deformation equivalence and diffeomorphism should coincide for algebraic surfaces. Counterexamples, for the hitherto open case of surfaces of general type, have been given in the last years by…

We construct a local characteristic map to a symplectic manifold M via certain cohomology groups of Hamiltonian vector fields. For each p in M, the Leibniz cohomology of the Hamiltonian vector fields on R^{2n} maps to the Leibniz cohomology…

We establish connections between contact isometry groups of certain contact manifolds and compactly supported symplectomorphism groups of their symplectizations. We apply these results to investigate the space of symplectic embeddings of…

This is the first of a series of papers about \emph{quantization} in the context of \emph{derived algebraic geometry}. In this first part, we introduce the notion of \emph{$n$-shifted symplectic structures}, a generalization of the notion…

Let M be the cotangent bundle of S^2, with the standard symplectic structure. By adapting an argument of Gromov we determine the weak homotopy type of the group S of those symplectic automorphisms of M which are trivial at infinity. It…

We exhibit two three-parameter families of locally conformal symplectic forms on the solvmanifold $M_{n,k}$ considered in [1], and show, using the Hodge-de Rham theory for the Lichnerowicz cohomology that that they are not $d_{\omega}$…

A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…

We consider some differential geometric classes of local and nonlocal Poisson and symplectic structures on loop spaces of smooth manifolds which give natural Hamiltonian and multihamiltonian representations for some important nonlinear…

A topological condition is given, characterizing which closed manifolds in dimensions < 8 (and conjecturally in general) admit symplectic structures. The condition is the existence of a certain fibration-like structure called a hyperpencil.…

Let $M$ be a smooth projective variety and $\mathbf{D}$ an ample normal crossings divisor. From topological data associated to the pair $(M, \mathbf{D})$, we construct, under assumptions on Gromov-Witten invariants, a series of…

We introduce a procedure for gluing Weinstein domains along Weinstein subdomains. By gluing along flexible subdomains, we show that any finite collection of high-dimensional Weinstein domains with the same topology are Weinstein subdomains…

We study the homological stability of spin mapping class groups of surfaces and of quadratic symplectic groups using cellular $E_2$-algebras. We get improvements in their stability results, which for the spin mapping class groups we show to…

Our project is to define Radon-type transforms in symplectic geometry. The chosen framework consists of symplectic symmetric spaces whose canonical connection is of Ricci-type. They can be considered as symplectic analogues of the spaces of…

We study the local symplectic algebra of curves. We use the method of algebraic restrictions to classify symplectic $T_7$ singularities. We define discrete symplectic invariants - the Lagrangian tangency orders. We use these invariants to…
