Braid Floer homology is an invariant of proper relative braid classes. Closed integral curves of 1-periodic Hamiltonian vector fields on the 2-disc may be regarded as braids. If the Braid Floer homology of associated proper relative braid…

We study the orbit structure and the geometric quantization of a pair of mutually commuting hamiltonian actions on a symplectic manifold. If the pair of actions fulfils a symplectic Howe condition, we show that there is a canonical…

We extend rotation theory of circle maps to tiling spaces. Specifically, we consider a 1-dimensional tiling space $\Omega$ with finite local complexity and study self-maps $F$ that are homotopic to the identity and whose displacements are…

We show that the symplectic reduction of the dynamics of $N$ point vortices on the plane by the special Euclidean group $\mathsf{SE}(2)$ yields a Lie--Poisson equation for relative configurations of the vortices. Specifically, we combine…

In the framework of the spatial circular Hill three-body problem we illustrate the application of symplectic invariants to analyze the network structure of symmetric periodic orbit families. The extensive collection of families within this…

Let $M$ be a complete hyperbolic $n$-manifold, $n\geq 2$. Via integration over geodesic simplices, any closed bounded differential 2-form on $M$ defines a bounded cohomology class in $H^2_b(M)$. It was proved by Barge and Ghys (for $n=2$)…

This paper introduces techniques for computing a variety of numerical invariants associated to a Legendrian knot in a contact manifold presented by an open book with a Morse structure. Such a Legendrian knot admits a front projection to the…

We prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem for the open annulus showing that if a homeomorphism satisfies a certain twist condition and the nonwandering set is connected, then there is a fixed point. Our main focus is the…

It is shown that the Euler characteristic $\chi_{(\mathcal{H},\mathcal{B},\epsilon_q)}$ of a $\mathbb{Z}[[q]]$-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}$ associated with a finitely generated Coxeter group $(W,S)$ coincides with $p_{(W,S)}(q)^{-1}$, where…

The symplectic cone of a closed oriented 4-manifold is the set of cohomology classes represented by symplectic forms. A well-known conjecture describes this cone for every minimal Kaehler surface. We consider the case of the elliptic…

Symplectic mappings are discrete-time analogs of Hamiltonian systems. They appear in many areas of physics, including, for example, accelerators, plasma, and fluids. Integrable mappings, a subclass of symplectic mappings, are equivalent to…

We apply Zhang's almost K\"ahler Nakai-Moishezon theorem and Li-Zhang's comparison of $J$-symplectic cones to establish a stability result for the symplectomorphism group of a rational $4$-manifold $M$ with Euler number up to $12$. As a…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

The intention of this article is to illustrate the use of methods from symplectic geometry for practical purposes. Our intended audience is scientists interested in orbits of Hamiltonian systems (e.g. the three-body problem). The main…

In this paper we study a restricted family of holomorphic symplectic leaves in the Poisson-Lie group ${\rm GL}_r(\mathcal{K}_{\mathbb{P}^1_x})$ with rational quadratic Sklyanin brackets induced by a one-form with a single quadratic pole at…

Let $ (\Theta,T,\mu) $ be an ergodic topological dynamical system. The fibered rotation number for cocycles in $ \Theta\times \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}) $, acting on $ \Theta\times \mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^1 $ is well-defined and has wide…

It is known that in the integral cohomology of BSO(2m), the square of the Euler class is the same as the Pontryagin class in degree 4m. Given that the Pontryagin classes extend rationally to the cohomology of BSTOP(2m), it is reasonable to…

We prove boundary H\"older and Lipschitz regularity for a class of degenerate elliptic, second order, inhomogeneous equations in non-divergence form structured on the left-invariant vector fields of the Heisenberg group. Our focus is on the…

We define symmetry classes and commutation symmetries in the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites and investigate them by means of tools from the representation theory of symmetric groups S_N such as…
