This is one in a series of papers devoted to the foundations of Symplectic Field Theory sketched in [Y Eliashberg, A Givental and H Hofer, Introduction to Symplectic Field Theory, Geom. Funct. Anal. Special Volume, Part II (2000) 560--673].…
We interpret symplectic geometry as certain sheaf theory by constructing a sheaf of curved A_\infty algebras which in some sense plays the role of a "structure sheaf" for symplectic manifolds. An interesting feature of this "structure…
Motivated by proving the loss of ergodicity in expanding systems of piecewise affine coupled maps with arbitrary number of units, all-to-all coupling and inversion symmetry, we provide ad-hoc substitutes - namely inversion-symmetric maps of…
We construct a quadratic Morse-Bott function on the real Grassmannian of a symplectic vector space from a compatible linear complex structure. We show that its critical loci consist of linear subspaces that split into isotropic and complex…
Several geometric flows on symplectic manifolds are introduced which are potentially of interest in symplectic geometry and topology. They are motivated by the Type IIA flow and T-duality between flows in symplectic geometry and flows in…
Let $\omega$ be a Kaehler form on the real $4$-torus $T^4$. Suppose that $\omega$ satisfies an irrationality condition which can be achieved by an arbitrarily small perturbation of $\omega$. This note shows that the smoothly trivial…
We introduce a geometric approach to the construction of moment maps in finite and infinite-dimensional complex geometry. We apply this to two settings: K\"ahler manifolds and holomorphic vector bundles. Our new approach exploits the…
In this article we investigate the Duistermaat-Heckman theorem using the theory of hyperfunctions. In applications involving Hamiltonian torus actions on infinite dimensional manifolds, this more general theory seems to be necessary in…
For a class of flows on polytopes, including many examples from Evolutionary Game Theory, we describe a piecewise linear model which encapsulates the asymptotic dynamics along the heteroclinic network formed out of the polytope's vertexes…
The main result of this paper is a convexity theorem for momentum mappings of certain hamiltonian actions of noncompact semisimple Lie groups. The image is required to fall within a certain open subset D of the (dual of the) Lie algebra,…
The present paper proves that finite symplectic groups of automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler fourfolds deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a $K3$ surface are contained in the simple group $Co_1$. Then we give an…
We develop the moment map theory of the twisted scalar curvature of a K\"ahler metric. Primarily, we introduce a coupled system of equations on a holomorphic submersion intertwining the twisted scalar curvature of a K\"ahler metric on the…
A key result in equivariant symplectic geometry is Delzant's classification of compact connected symplectic toric manifolds. The moment map induces an embedding of the quotient of the manifold by the torus action into the dual of the Lie…
We introduce a parabolic flow of almost Kahler structures, providing an approach to constructing canonical geometric structures on symplectic manifolds. We exhibit this flow as one of a family of parabolic flows of almost Hermitian…
A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…
We introduce an extension of the standard Local-to-Global Principle used in the proof of the convexity theorems for the momentum map to handle closed maps that take values in a length metric space. This extension is used to study the…
We take the first steps to develop Conley-Zehnder Theory, as conjectured by Arnold, in the world of probability. As far as we know, this paper provides the first probabilistic theorems about the density of fixed points of symplectic twist…
On a complex manifold $(M,J)$, we interpret complex symplectic and pseudo-K\"ahler structures as symplectic forms with respect to which $J$ is, respectively, symmetric and skew-symmetric. We classify complex symplectic structures on…
After reviewing recent results on symplectic Lefschetz pencils and symplectic branched covers of CP^2, we describe a new construction of maps from symplectic manifolds of any dimension to CP^2 and the associated monodromy invariants. We…
We classify symplectic actions of 2-tori on compact, connected symplectic 4-manifolds, up to equivariant symplectomorphisms. This extends results of Atiyah, Guillemin-Sternberg, Delzant and Benoist. The classification is in terms of a…
