A centrally symmetric convex body is a convex compact set with non-empty interior that is symmetric about the origin. Of particular interest are those that are both smooth and strictly convex -- known here as regular symmetric bodies --…
Almost contact manifolds with B-metric are considered. There are studied three natural connections (i.e. linear connections preserving the structure tensors) determined by conditions for their torsions. These connections are investigated on…
We use quantum and Floer homology to construct (partial) quasi-morphisms on the universal cover of the group of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms for a certain class of non-closed strongly semi-positive symplectic manifolds…
In this paper, homology of a contact CR-submanifold of a real hypersurface, which has naturally almost contact metric structure induced from the complex Euclidean space $\mathbb{C}^{m}$, is examined. More precisely, nonexistence of stable…
We prove that every homotopy class of almost contact structures on a closed 5-dimensional manifold admits a contact structure.
We make some elementary observations concerning subcritically Stein fillable contact structures on 5-manifolds. Specifically, we determine the diffeomorphism type of such contact manifolds in the case the fundamental group is finite cyclic,…
For certain contact manifolds admitting a 1-periodic Reeb flow we construct a conjugation-invariant norm on the universal cover of the contactomorphism group. With respect to this norm the group admits a quasi-isometric monomorphism of the…
Let $C$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q(C)$. Given a semisimple $C-S$-group scheme $\underline{G}$ where $S$ is a finite set of closed points of $C$, we describe the set of…
Let M be a closed simply connected 2n-dimensional manifold. The present paper is concerned with the cohomology of classifying spaces of connected groups of homeomorphisms of M.
By a recent result, it is known that compact homogeneous spaces with co-index of symmetry 4 are quotients of a semisimple Lie group of dimension at most 10. In this paper we determine exactly which ones of these spaces actually admit such a…
We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…
We construct the first example of a 5-dimensional simply connected compact manifold that admits a K-contact structure but does not admit a semi-regular Sasakian structure. For this, we need two ingredients: (a) to construct a suitable…
This paper determines almost symmetric numerical semigroups with maximal reduced type completely. In addition, this paper classifies MED-semigroups with maximal reduced type.
Almost contact manifolds with B-metric are considered. A special linear connection is introduced, which preserves the almost contact B-metric structure on these manifolds. This connection is investigated on some classes of the considered…
Semi-algebraic set is a subset of the real space defined by polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we consider the problem of deciding whether two given points in a semi-algebraic set are connected. We restrict to the case…
This survey is based on a series of lectures that we gave at MSRI in Spring 2015 and on a series of papers, mostly written jointly with Joan Porti. Our goal here is to: 1. Describe a class of discrete subgroups $\Gamma<G$ of higher rank…
We give the parallelism between locally conformal symplectic manifolds and contact manifolds. We also give the generalization of exact contact manifolds.
Let $(M,\omega_M)$ be a six dimensional closed monotone symplectic manifold admitting an effective semifree Hamiltonian $S^1$-action. We show that if the minimal (or maximal) fixed component of the action is an isolated point, then…
We survey the theory of totally symmetric sets, with applications to homomorphisms of symmetric groups, braid groups, linear groups, and mapping class groups.
The purpose of this paper is to give a survey of the various versions of Floer homology for manifolds with contact type boundary that have so far appeared in the literature. Under the name of ``Symplectic homology'' or ``Floer homology for…
