Let M be a smooth closed manifold and T*M its cotangent bundle endowed with the usual symplectic structure. A hypersurface S in T*M is said to be fiberwise starshaped if for each point q in M the intersection of S with the fiber at q is…

We consider minimal compact complex surfaces S with Betti numbers b_1=1 and n=b_2>0. A theorem of Donaldson gives n exceptional line bundles. We prove that if in a deformation, these line bundles have sections, S is a degeneration of…

We define a new variant of Rabinowitz Floer homology that is particularly well suited to studying the growth rate of leaf-wise intersections. We prove that for closed manifolds $M$ whose loop space is "complicated", if $\Sigma$ is a…

The systole of a hyperbolic surface is bounded by a logarithmic function of its genus. This bound is sharp, in that there exist sequences of surfaces with genera tending to infinity that attain logarithmically large systoles. These are…
