In this paper we classify the laws of three-dimensional and four-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras over the field of complex numbers. We describe the irreducible components of their algebraic varieties and extend contractions and…

We develop the Gompf fiber connected sum operation for symplectic orbifolds. We use it to construct a symplectic 4-orbifold with $b_1=0$ and containing symplectic surfaces of genus 1 and 2 that are disjoint and span the rational homology.…

A cohomology class u of a topological space X is atoroidal if its pullback to the torus vanishes for every map from a torus to X. Furthermore, X is atoroidally symplectic if there is an atoroidal cohomology class $u\in H^2(X;F)$ such that…

Let G be a finite group acting on a symplectic complex vector space V. Assume that the quotient V/G has a holomorphic symplectic resolution. We prove that G is generated by "symplectic reflectionsd"', i.e. symplectomorphisms with fixed…

We give families of knots and links with pairs of Seifert surfaces that are topologically non-isotopic in $D^4$. This generalizes the main example of Hayden-Kim-Miller-Park-Sundberg and the proof is similarly based on the double branched…

In this article we classify all infinitesimal Hecke algebras of so_N. We establish isomorphism of their universal versions and the W-algebras of so_{N+2m+1} with a 1-block nilpotent element of the Jordan type (1,...,1,2m+1). This should be…

Let $(S^2,\omega)$ be a symplectic sphere, and let $\tau \colon S^2 \to S^2$ be an anti-symplectic involution of $(S^2,\omega)$. We consider the product $(S^2,\omega) \times (S^2,\omega)$ endowed with the anti-symplectic involution $\tau…

Examples of aspherical closed symplectic 4-manifolds are presented whose Sullivan minimal models are (1,n)-formal for any n, without being formal. They have as cohomology algebra, signature, canonical class, those of a product of a closed…

A hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 4$, has central ovaloid property if $M$ intersects some hyperplane transversally along an ovaloid and every such ovaloid on $M$ has central symmetry. We show that a complete, connected, smooth…

We show that the structure of proper holomorphic maps between the $n$-fold symmetric products, $n\geq 2$, of a pair of non-compact Riemann surfaces $X$ and $Y$, provided these are reasonably nice, is very rigid. Specifically, any such map…

We construct four-dimensional symplectic cobordisms between contact three-manifolds generalizing an example of Eliashberg. One key feature is that any handlebody decomposition of one of these cobordisms must involve three-handles. The other…

The notions of holomorphic symplectic structures and hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids are introduced and then proved to be equivalent. These generalize hypercomplex triples and holomorphic symplectic 2-forms on manifolds…

Previously work of the author with Meier and Starkston showed that every closed symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$ with a rational symplectic form admits a trisection compatible with the symplectic topology. In this paper, we describe the…

We describe the variety of Jordan superalgebras of dimension $4$ whose even part is a Jordan algebra of dimension $2$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $0$. We prove that the variety has $25$ irreducible…

It is shown that the notion of W_\infty-algebra originally carried out over a (compact) Riemann surface can be extended to n complex dimensional (compact) manifolds within a symplectic geometrical setup. The relationships with the…

Let $X$ be a closed, simply-connected, smooth, spin 4-manifold whose intersection form is isomorphic to $n(-E_8)\bigoplus mH$, where $H$ is the hyperbolic form. In this paper, we prove that for $n$ such that $n\equiv 2 ~{\rm mod} ~4$, there…

We describe the variety of Jordan superalgebras of dimension $4$ whose even part is a Jordan algebra of dimension $1$ or $3$. We prove that the variety is the union of Zariski closures of the orbits of $11$ and $21$ rigid superalgebras,…

We use hyperbolic geometry to construct simply-connected symplectic or complex manifolds with trivial canonical bundle and with no compatible Kahler structure. We start with the desingularisations of the quadric cone in C^4: the smoothing…

For each member of an infinite family of homology classes in the K3-surface E(2), we construct infinitely many non-isotopic symplectic tori representing this homology class. This family has an infinite subset of primitive classes. We also…

We present recursive formulas which compute the recently defined "higher symplectic capacities" for all convex toric domains. In the special case of four-dimensional ellipsoids, we apply homological perturbation theory to the associated…
