Let $(S,\omega)$ be a closed connected oriented surface whose genus $l$ is at least two equipped with a symplectic form. Then we show the vanishing of the cup product of the fluxes of commuting symplectomorphisms. This result may be…
We show that contact reductions can be described in terms of symplectic reductions in the traditional Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer as well as the constant rank picture. The point is that we view contact structures as particular (homogeneous)…
We classify symplectic non-Hamiltonian circle actions on compact connected symplectic 4-manifolds, up to equivariant symplectomorphisms. Namely, we define a set of invariants, show that the set is complete, and determine which values are…
A notion of general manifolds is introduced. It covers all usual manifolds in mathematics. Essentially, it is a way how to get a bigger 'fibration' over a site which locally coincides with a given one. An enrichment with generalized…
To every closed subset $X$ of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ we associate a natural group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $Ham(X,\omega)$. We equip this group with a semi-norm $\Vert\cdot\Vert^{X,\omega}$, generalizing the Hofer norm. We…
The notion of a holomorphically symplectic manifold can be generalized to the singular one. This paper studies the birational contraction maps between symplectic varieties, and then describes the deformation of a symplectic variety which…
We consider the problem where a set of individuals has to classify $m$ objects into $p$ categories by aggregating the individual classifications, and no category can be left empty. An aggregator satisfies \emph{Expertise} if individuals are…
We study deformations of symplectic structures on a smooth manifold $M$ via the quasi-Poisson theory. By a fact, we can deform a given symplectic structure $\omega $ to a new symplectic structure $\omega_t$ parametrized by some element $t$…
Let $G$ be a compact connected semisimple Lie group. We extend the techniques of Weinstein [W] to give a construction in group cohomology of symplectic forms $\omega$ on \lq twisted' moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group…
This paper is a contribution to piecewise linear (PL) symplectic topology. We define the notion of PL symplectic manifold as being a combinatorial manifold endowed with a piecewise constant Whitney symplectic form and investigate possible…
This text is the English translation of a 1986 manuscript which gives the classification of the differential forms parametrizing the finite-dimensional Lie algebras of hamiltonian and contact Cartan types over fields of positive…
Friedman and Morgan made the "speculation" that deformation equivalence and diffeomorphism should coincide for algebraic surfaces. Counterexamples, for the hitherto open case of surfaces of general type, have been given in the last years by…
Extracting isolated rays from a symplectic manifold result in a manifold symplectomorphic to the initial one. The same holds for higher dimensional parametrized rays under an additional condition. More precisely, let $(M,\omega)$ be a…
We introduce the notion of a conical symplectic variety, and show that any symplectic resolution of such a variety is isomorphic to the Springer resolution of a nilpotent orbit in a semisimple Lie algebra, composed with a linear projection.
In this paper we settle three basic questions concerning the Gutt-Hutchings capacities. Our primary result settles a version of the recognition question in the negative. We prove that the Gutt-Hutchings capacities together with the volume,…
We investigate the uniqueness of so-called exotic structures on certain exact symplectic manifolds by looking at how their symplectic properties change under small nonexact deformations of the symplectic form. This allows us to distinguish…
Let $\Omega$ be a non-singular syplectic form on some vector space $V$. Denote by $S^{n}_{k}(\Omega)$ the set of all $k$-dimensional planes $s$ in $V$ such that the restriction of $\Omega$ onto $s$ is singular. For the cases when $k=2,n-2$…
Let $M\subset{\complex}^n$ be a complex domain of ${\complex}^n$ endowed with a rotation invariant \K form $\omega_{\Phi}= \frac{i}{2} \partial\bar\partial\Phi$. In this paper we describe sufficient conditions on the \K potential $\Phi$ for…
We study loops of symplectic diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds. Our main result, which is valid for a large class of symplectic manifolds, shows that the flux of a symplectic loop vanishes whenever its orbits are contractible.…
A class of structures recognizes coordinates if any reduced product of structures from said class witnesses a certain kind of rigidity phenomena. We provide several equivalent characterizations of this property. This property has (at least)…
