We consider self-similar potential flow for compressible gas with polytropic pressure law. Self-similar solutions arise as large-time asymptotes of general solutions, and as exact solutions of many important special cases like Mach…

Motivated by a problem of Hirzebruch, we study $8$-dimensional, closed, symplectic manifolds having a Hamiltonian torus action with isolated fixed points and second Betti number equal to $1$. Such manifolds are automatically positive…

We compute the homotopy type of the space of T^n-equivariant symplectic embeddings from the standard 2n-dimensional ball of some fixed radius into a 2n-dimensional symplectic-toric manifold M, and use this computation to define a Z-valued…

Given a contact three manifold $Y$ with a nondegenerate contact form $\lambda$, and an almost complex structure $J$ compatible with $\lambda$, its embedded contact homology $ECH(Y,\lambda)$ is defined (arXiv:1303.5789) and only depends on…

In this paper we construct analogues of Ekeland-Hofer and Hofer-Zehnder symplectic capacities based on a class of Hamiltonian boundary value problems motivated by Clarke's and Ekeland's work, and study generalizations of some important…

We present a 1-loop toroidal membrane winding sum reproducing the conjectured $M$-theory, four-graviton, eight derivative, $R^4$ amplitude. The $U$-duality and toroidal membrane world-volume modular groups appear as a Howe dual pair in a…

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…

We show that every (possibly degenerate) contact form on a closed three-manifold has at least two embedded Reeb orbits. We also show that if there are only finitely many embedded Reeb orbits, then their symplectic actions are not all…

The symplectic cone of a closed oriented 4-manifold is the set of cohomology classes represented by symplectic forms. A well-known conjecture describes this cone for every minimal Kaehler surface. We consider the case of the elliptic…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations with prescribed singularity type. Compared to previous work, the assumption of small unbounded locus is…

McDuff and Schlenk have recently determined exactly when a four-dimensional symplectic ellipsoid symplectically embeds into a symplectic ball. Similarly, Frenkel and M\"uller have recently determined exactly when a symplectic ellipsoid…

We consider the asymptotics of the Turaev-Viro and the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold, evaluated at the root of unity $\exp({2\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r})$ instead of the standard $\exp({\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r})$. We present…

The polynomial invariants $q_d$ for a large class of smooth 4-manifolds are shown to satisfy universal relations. The relations reflect the possible genera of embedded surfaces in the 4-manifold and lead to a structure theorem for the…

We describe the principal boundary of an arbitrary affine invariant submanifold of REL zero in terms of level graphs of the multi-scale compactification of strata of Abelian differentials with prescribed orders of zeros. We show that the…

Let $B^{2n}(R)$ denote the closed $2n$-dimensional symplectic ball of area $R$, and let $\Sigma_g(L)$ be a closed symplectic surface of genus $g$ and area $L$. We prove that there is a symplectic embedding $\bigsqcup_{i=1}^k B^4(R_i) \times…

In this paper we establish new restrictions on symplectic embeddings of certain convex domains into symplectic vector spaces. These restrictions are stronger than those implied by the Ekeland-Hofer capacities. By refining an embedding…

We introduce a method for constructing invariant probability measures of a large class of non-singular volume-preserving flows on closed, oriented odd-dimensional smooth manifolds using pseudoholomorphic curve techniques from symplectic…

For a proper Hamiltonian action of a Lie group $G$ on a K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ with momentum map $\mu$ we show that the symplectic reduction $\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ is a normal complex space. Every point in $\mu^{-1}(0)$ has a $G$-stable…

Following the works by Wiegmann-Zabrodin, Elbau-Felder, Hedenmalm-Makarov, and others, we consider the normal matrix model with an arbitrary potential function, and explain how the problem of finding the support domain for the asymptotic…

We state conjectures on the asymptotic behavior of the Masur-Veech volumes of strata in the moduli spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials and on the asymptotics of their area Siegel-Veech constants as the genus tends to infinity.
