The special structures that arise in symplectic topology (particularly Gromov--Witten invariants and quantum homology) place as yet rather poorly understood restrictions on the topological properties of symplectomorphism groups. This…

Following \cite{citeSavelyevVirtualMorsetheoryon$Omega$Ham$(Momega)$.}, we develop here a connection between Morse theory for the (positive) Hofer length functional $L: \Omega \text {Ham}(M, \omega) \to \mathbb{R}$, with Gromov-Witten/Floer…

Let $(M, \omega)$ be a 6-dimensional closed symplectic manifold with a symplectic $S^1$-action with $M^{S^1} \neq \emptyset$ and $\dim M^{S^1} \leq 2$. Assume that $\omega$ is integral with a generalized moment map $\mu$. We first prove…

The purpose of this article is to characterize symplectic and Hamiltonian circle actions on symplectic manifolds in terms of symplectic embeddings of Riemann surfaces. More precisely, we will show that (1) if $(M,\omega)$ admits a…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a closed symplectic manifold and $\textup{Ham}(M,\omega)$ the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $(M,\omega)$. Then the Seidel homomorphism is a map from the fundamental group of $\textup{Ham}(M,\omega)$ to the…

In this paper we obtain exact normal forms with functional invariants for local diffeomorphisms, under the action of the symplectomorphism group in the source space. Using these normal forms we obtain exact classification results for the…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

By coupling a Hamiltonian mechanical system with a linear Hamiltonian field theory one obtains an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system with regularizing nonlinearity, where the underlying phase space is given by the product of a…

We construct an example of a Hamiltonian flow $f^t$ on a $4$-dimensional smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}$ which after being restricted to an energy surface $\mathcal{M}_e$ demonstrates essential coexistence of regular and chaotic dynamics that…

We prove that the rank of the cohomology of a closed symplectic manifold with coefficients in a field of characteristic $p$ is smaller than the number of periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian flow. Following Floer, the proof…

Moduli spaces of stable pseudoholomorphic curves can be defined parametrically, i.e. over total spaces of symplectic fibrations. This imposes several restrictions on the spectral sequence of a symplectic fibration. We prove that, under…

Fix $d\geq 2$. Given a finite undirected graph ${\mathcal{H}}$ without self-loops and multiple edges, consider the corresponding `vertex' shift, $Hom(\mathbb{Z}^d, \mathcal{H})$ denoted by $X_{\mathcal{H}}$. In this paper we focus on…

We minimise the Canham-Helfrich energy in the class of closed immersions with prescribed genus, surface area and enclosed volume. Compactness is achieved in the class of oriented varifolds. The main result is a lower-semicontinuity estimate…
