Let M be the product of \C P^m and \C P^n, with the standard integral symplectic form. We prove that the inclusion map from the group of symplectic automorphisms of M to its diffeomorphism group is not surjective on homotopy groups. More…

Let M be a paracompact differentiable manifold, A a local algebra and M^{A} a manifold of infinitely near points on M of kind A. We define the notion of A-Poisson manifold on M^{A}. We show that when M is a Poisson manifold, then M^{A} is…

We define boundedness properties on the contractible fixed points set of the time-one map of an identity isotopy on a closed oriented surface with genus $g\geq1$. In symplectic geometry, a classical object is the notion of action function,…

We prove that the inertia groups of all sufficiently-connected, high-dimensional $(2n)$-manifolds are trivial. This is a key step toward a general classification of manifolds in the metastable range. Specifically, for $m \gg 0$ and…

Symplectic structures on higher objects like Lie groupoids have been studied for some time now, but not all of the proposed definitions are preserved under Morita equivalence of Lie groupoids, in turn giving rise to a consistent notion of…

We introduce the concept of pseudo symplectic capacities which is a mild generalization of that of symplectic capacities. As a generalization of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity we construct a Hofer-Zehnder type pseudo symplectic capacity and…

In this paper, we construct an $S^1$-equivariant version of the relative symplectic cohomology developed by Varolgunes. As an application, we construct a relative version of Gutt-Hutchings capacities and a relative version of symplectic…

Let $\omega$ be a closed, non-degenerate differential form of arbitrary degree. Associated to it there are an $L_{\infty}$-algebra of observables, and an $L_{\infty}$-algebra of sections of the higher Courant algebroid twisted by $\omega$.…

We construct an infinite family of homologous, non-isotopic, symplectic surfaces of any genus greater than one in a certain class of closed, simply connected, symplectic four-manifolds. Our construction is the first example of this…

Let $M$ be a $2n$-dimensional closed symplectic manifold admitting a Hamiltonian circle action with isolated fixed points. We show that if $M$ contains an $S^1$-invariant symplectic hypersurface $D$ such that $M\setminus D$ is a homology…

This paper expands some of the issues of the paper math.SG/0506449. We introduce a new technique to produce symplectic manifolds, by taking a symplectic non-free action of a finite group on a symplectic manifold and resolving symplectically…

For oriented surfaces $\Sigma$ with boundary, we consider the infinite-dimensional deformation space of projective structures on $\Sigma$ with nondegenerate boundary, up to isotopies fixing the boundary. We show that this space carries a…

We prove that all complex analytic subvarieties of a generic compact hyperkaehler manifold are even-dimensional. Moreover, these subvarieties are holomorphically symplectic.

The notion of an $\mathcal{M}$-coextensive object is introduced in an arbitrary category $\mathbb{C}$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a distinguished class of morphisms from $\mathbb{C}$. This notion allows for a categorical treatment of the strict…

This paper deals with the following question: which manifolds can be realized as leaves of codimension-1 symplectic foliations on closed manifolds? We first observe that leaves of symplectic foliations are necessarily strongly geometrically…

Cosymplectic and normal almost contact structures are analogues of symplectic and complex structures that can be defined on 3-manifolds. Their existence imposes strong topological constraints. Generalized geometry offers a natural common…

We determine the isomorphism classes of symmetric symplectic manifolds of dimension at least 4 which are connected, simply-connected and have a curvature tensor which has only one non-vanishing irreducible component -- the Ricci tensor.

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a Hamiltonian $G$-space with a momentum map $F:M \to {\frak g}^*$. It is well-known that if $\alpha$ is a regular value of $F$ and $G$ acts freely and properly on the level set $F^{-1}(G\cdot \alpha)$, then the reduced…

In this article, we treat G_2-geometry as a special case of multisymplectic geometry and make a number of remarks regarding Hamiltonian multivector fields and Hamiltonian differential forms on manifolds with an integrable G_2-structure; in…

In this paper we consider symplectic 4-manifolds $(M,\omega)$ with $c_1(M,\omega)=0$ which admit a Hamiltonian $S^1$-action together with an equivariant Maslov condition on orbits of the group action. We call such spaces {\em special…
