We study smooth projective varieties with small dual variety using methods from symplectic topology. We prove the affine parts of such varieties are subcritical, and that the hyperplane class is invertible in their quantum cohomology. We…
We extend the definition of Weinstein's Action homomorphism to Hamiltonian actions with equivariant moment maps of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups on symplectic manifolds, and show that under conditions including a uniform bound…
The mapping of topologically nontrivial gauge transformations in noncommutative gauge theory to corresponding commutative ones is investigated via the operator form of the Seiberg-Witten map. The role of the gauge transformation part of the…
Ghosh-Sivek-Zentner constructed degree-1 maps from certain rational homology solid tori to the twisted $I$-bundle over the Klein bottle. We show that these maps yield rank inequalities for Heegaard Floer homology. To do so, we use…
We examine the relationship between the actions of two Weyl groups on the cohomology of a smooth quiver variety: the Maffei's action of the Weyl group associated to the quiver, and the symplectic Springer action of the Namikawa-Weyl group…
Homotopy comomentum maps are a higher generalization of the notion of moment map introduced to extend the concept of Hamiltonian actions to the framework of multisymplectic geometry. Loosely speaking, higher means passing from considering…
We define the $S^1$-equivariant Rabinowitz-Floer homology of a bounding contact hypersurface $\Sigma$ in an exact symplectic manifold, and show by a geometric argument that it vanishes if $\Sigma$ is displaceable. In the appendix we…
We construct geometric maps from the cyclic homology groups of the (compact or wrapped) Fukaya category to the corresponding $S^1$-equivariant (Floer/quantum or symplectic) cohomology groups, which are natural with respect to all Gysin and…
This note describes some recent results about the homotopy properties of Hamiltonian loops in various manifolds, including toric manifolds and one point blow ups. We describe conditions under which a circle action does not contract in the…
A cohomological study is made of an equivariant map betwen the configuration space of n points in space and the flag manifold of U(n).
We give an explicit affine algebraic variety whose coordinate ring is isomorphic (as an algebra with the action of the Weyl group) with the equivariant cohomology of some Springer fibers.
In this paper we present the construction of explicit quasi-isomorphisms that compute the cyclic homology and periodic cyclic homology of crossed-product algebras associated with (discrete) group actions. In the first part we deal with…
Semilinear maps are a generalization of linear maps between vector spaces where we allow the scalar action to be twisted by a ring homomorphism such as complex conjugation. In particular, this generalization unifies the concepts of linear…
We use quasimap Floer cohomology for varying symplectic quotients to resolve several puzzles regarding displaceability of toric moment fibers. For example, we (i) present a compact Hamiltonian torus action containing an {\em open} subset of…
We generalize the Cohen-Jones-Segal construction to the Morse-Bott setting. In other words, we define framings for Morse-Bott analogues of flow categories and associate a stable homotopy type to this data. We use this to recover the stable…
On a symplectic manifold $M$, the quantum product defines a complex, one parameter family of flat connections called the A-model or Dubrovin connections. Let $\hbar$ denote the parameter. Associated to them is the quantum $\mathcal{D}$ -…
We prove a conjecture of Migdail and Wehrli regarding the odd Khovanov cobordism maps associated to knotted spheres. Our key tool is Daemi's plane Floer homology, which we use in place of a Lee deformation. Continuing the analogy with Lee…
Seidel-Smith and Manolescu constructed knot homology theories using symplectic fibrations whose total spaces were certain varieties of matrices. These knot homology theories were associated to $SL(n) $ and tensor products of the standard…
Inspired by Segal-Stolz-Teichner project for geometric construction of elliptic (tmf) cohomology, and ideas of Floer theory and of Hopkins-Lurie on extended TFT's, we geometrically construct some $Ring$-valued representable cofunctors on…
We demonstrate a way to apply $S^1$-localisation to moduli spaces of holomorphic curves. We first prove a reinterpretation of Atyiah-Bott $S^1$-localisation, called {\it localisation by pseudocycles} (LbP), for a smooth semifree…
