Quite recently, McDuff showed that the existence of a symplectic embedding of one four-dimensional ellipsoid into another can be established by comparing their corresponding sequences of ECH capacities. In this note we show that these…
This paper is devoted to the construction of analogues of higher Ekeland-Hofer symplectic capacities for $P$-symmetric subsets in the standard symplectic space $(\mathbb{R}^{2n},\omega_0)$, which is motivated by Long and Dong's study…
In this note we compute the cohomology of the elliptic tangent bundle, a Lie algebroid used to describe singular symplectic forms arising from generalized complex geometry.
Symplectic invariants introduced in math-ph/0702045 can be computed for an arbitrary spectral curve. For some examples of spectral curves, those invariants can solve loop equations of matrix integrals, and many problems of enumerative…
We show that many toric domains $X$ in $R^4$ admit symplectic embeddings $\phi$ into dilates of themselves which are knotted in the strong sense that there is no symplectomorphism of the target that takes $\phi(X)$ to $X$. For instance $X$…
We study holomorphic spheres in certain symplectic cobordisms and derive information about periodic Reeb orbits in the concave end of these cobordisms from the non-compactness of the relevant moduli spaces. We use this to confirm the strong…
We show that the infinite staircases which arise in the ellipsoid embedding functions of rigid del Pezzo surfaces (with their monotone symplectic forms) can be entirely explained in terms of rational sesquicuspidal symplectic curves.…
We give detailed descriptions of gluing pseudoholomorphic maps in symplectic geometry, especially in the presence of an obstruction bundle. The main motivation is to try to compare the symplectic and enumerative invariants of algebraic…
We construct integrable pseudopotentials with an arbitrary number of fields in terms of elliptic generalization of hypergeometric functions in several variables. These pseudopotentials yield some integrable (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic…
We study invariants coming from certain optimisation problems for nef divisors on surfaces. These optimisation problems arise in work of the author and collaborators tying obstructions to embeddings between symplectic 4-manifolds to…
We survey some recent progress on understanding when one four-dimensional symplectic manifold can be symplectically embedded into another. In 2010, McDuff established a number-theoretic criterion for the existence of a symplectic embedding…
In this paper we obtain new obstructions to symplectic embeddings of the four-dimensional polydisk $P(a,1)$ into the ball $B(c)$ for $2\leq a<\frac{\sqrt{7}-1} {\sqrt{7}-2} \approx 2.549$, extending work done by Hind-Lisi and Hutchings.…
We introduce a new normalization condition for symplectic capacities, which we call cube normalization. This condition is satisfied by the Lagrangian capacity and the cube capacity. Our main result is an analogue of the strong Viterbo…
As has been known since the time of Gromov's Nonsqueezing Theorem, symplectic embedding questions lie at the heart of symplectic geometry. After surveying some of the most important ways of measuring the size of a symplectic set, these…
We construct invariants under deformation of real symplectic 4-manifolds. These invariants are obtained by counting three different kinds of real rational J-holomorphic curves which realize a given homology class and pass through a given…
By a result of Kedra and Pinsonnault, we know that the topology of groups of symplectomorphisms of symplectic 4-manifolds is complicated in general. However, in all known (very specific) examples, the rational cohomology rings of…
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 prove an analogue of the 4-dimensional local Viterbo conjecture for the higher Ekeland-Hofer capacities: on the space of 4-dimensional smooth star-shaped domains of unitary volume, endowed with the $C^3$ topology, the local maximizers of…
Log-symplectic structures are Poisson structures that are determined by a symplectic form with logarithmic singularities. We construct moduli spaces of curves with values in a log-symplectic manifold. Among the applications, we classify…
This letter announces and summarizes results obtained in arXiv:1111.5051 and considers several natural extensions. The aforementioned paper proposes a procedure to reconstruct coefficients in a second-order, scalar, elliptic equation from…
