We prove an analog of the Tian-Todorov theorem for twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds; namely, we show that the moduli space of generalized complex structures on a compact twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifold is unobstructed and…
We extend the pseudoholomorphic curve methods from Floer theory to infinite-dimensional phase spaces and use our results to prove the existence of a forced time-periodic solution to a general Hamiltonian PDE with regularizing nonlinearity.…
We use Floer homology to study the Hofer-Zehnder capacity of neighborhoods near a closed symplectic submanifold M of a geometrically bounded and symplectically aspherical ambient manifold. We prove that, when the unit normal bundle of M is…
This survey covers some of the recent developments on noncommutative motives and their applications. Among other topics, we compute the additive invariants of relative cellular spaces and orbifolds; prove Kontsevich's semi-simplicity…
Gromov's band-width conjecture gives a precise upper bound for the width of a compact Riemannian band with positive scalar curvature lower bound, assuming that the cross-section of the band admits no positive scalar curvature metrics.…
An effective algorithm of determining Gromov--Witten invariants of smooth hypersurfaces in any genus (subject to a degree bound) from Gromov--Witten invariants of the ambient space is proposed. The Appendix is joint with E. Schulte-Geers.
A quick proof of Bing's theorem indicated by the title is given. The proof also concludes Gumerov's result on covering degrees of solenoids.
We study a metric version of the simplicial volume on Riemannian manifolds, the Lipschitz simplicial volume, with applications to degree theorems in mind. We establish a proportionality principle and a product inequality from which we…
We use the wrinkling theorem proven in Y. Eliashberg and N. Mishachev, "Wrinkling of smooth mappings and its applications - I", Invent. Math., 130(1997), 345-369, to fully describe the homotopy type of the space of S-immersions, i.e.…
In 2002 Polterovich has notably established that on closed aspherical symplectic manifolds, Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of finite order, which we call Hamiltonian torsion, must in fact be trivial. In this paper we prove the first…
In the present work we define the rolling of one pseudo-Riemannian manifold over another without slipping and twisting. We compare the definition of the rolling without slipping and twisting of two manifolds isometrically embedded into a…
This is a research monograph on symplectic cohomology (disguised as an advanced graduate textbook), which provides a construction of this version of Hamiltonian Floer cohomology for cotangent bundles of closed manifolds. The focus is on the…
For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…
Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold are a count of holomorphic curves. We describe a formula expressing the GW invariants of a symplectic sum $X# Y$ in terms of the relative GW invariants of $X$ and $Y$. This formula has…
This paper explains an application of Gromov's h-principle to prove the existence, on any orientable 4-manifold, of a folded symplectic form. That is a closed 2-form which is symplectic except on a separating hypersurface where the form…
We define a new Gromov-Witten theory relative to simple normal crossing divisors as a limit of Gromov-Witten theory of multi-root stacks. Several structural properties are proved including relative quantum cohomology, Givental formalism,…
We find a surprising link between Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova's well-known asymptotic formula concerning fractional Sobolev seminorms and the generalized Bishop-Gromov inequality. In the setting of abstract metric measure spaces we prove the…
We give a version of Gromov's compactess theorem for pseudoholomorphic curves in the case of quasiregular mappings between closed manifolds. More precisely we show that, given $K\ge 1$ and $D\ge 1$, any sequence $(f_n \colon M \to N)$ of…
The Bishop-Gromov theorem is a comparison theorem of differential geometry that upperbounds the growth of volume of a geodesic ball in a curved space. For many spaces, this bound is far from tight. We identify a major reason the bound fails…
