We show that a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a closed symplectic manifold which is symplectically aspherical has at least the stable Morse number of fixed points - this is in line with a conjecture by Arnold.

Let $(\Sigma_n)$ be a sequence of surfaces immersed in a $4$-manifold $M$ which converges to a branched surface $\Sigma_0$ .\\ We denote by $k^T_p$ (resp. $k^N_p$) the amount of curvature of the tangent bundles $T\Sigma_n$ (resp. normal…

We show how to lift a Riemannian metric and almost symplectic form on a manifold to a Riemannian structure on a canonically associated supermanifold known as the antitangent or shifted tangent bundle. We view this construction as a…

This paper studies intersection theory on the compactified moduli space M(n,d) of holomorphic bundles of rank n and degree d over a fixed compact Riemann surface of genus g > 1 where n and d may have common factors. Because of the presence…

Results are obtained on extending flat vector bundles or equivalently general representations from the fundamental group of S, a connected subsurface of the connected boundary of a compact, connected, oriented 3-dimensional manifold, to the…

We prove that the twisted De Rham cohomology of a flat vector bundleover some smooth manifold is isomorphic to the cohomology of invariant Pollicott--Ruelleresonant states associated with Anosov and Morse--Smale flows. As a consequence,…

We study the moduli space $I_{n,r}$ of rank-$2r$ symplectic instanton vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with $r\ge2$ and second Chern class $n\ge r+1,\ n-r\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}2)$. We introduce the notion of tame symplectic instantons by…

We study the following rigidity problem in symplectic geometry:can one displace a Lagrangian submanifold from a hypersurface? We relate this to the Arnold Chord Conjecture, and introduce a refined question about the existence of relative…

A real Bott manifold is the total space of an iterated $\RP ^1$-bundles over a point, where each $\RP^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a Whitney sum of two real line bundles. In this paper, we characterize real Bott manifolds which…

Translation surfaces with poles correspond to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces. They appear in compactifications of strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials and in the study of stability conditions. Such…

We compare the higher analytic torsion of Bismut and Lott of a fibre bundle p: M -> B equipped with a flat vector bundle F -> M and a fibre-wise Morse function h on M with a higher torsion T that is constructed in terms of a families…

We introduce and study translation numbers for automorphisms of principal $\mathbb{Z}$-bundles and flat principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundles. We use them to show a vanishing result of a characteristic class of foliated bundles and to detect…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g > 0 equipped with a nonzero holomorphic 1-form. Let M denote the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles on X of rank r and degree r(g-1)+1; it is a complex symplectic manifold. Using…

The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem and its higher dimensional generalizations by Oshikawa and Hastings require that translationally invariant 2D spin systems with a half-integer spin per unit cell must either have a continuum of low energy…

We prove a Theorem on homotheties between two given tangent sphere bundles $S_rM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M,g$ of $\dim\geq 3$, assuming different variable radius functions $r$ and weighted Sasaki metrics induced by the conformal class of…

In this article, we investigate sequences of discontinuous martingales on submanifolds of higher-dimensional Euclidean space. Those sequences naturally arise when we deal with a sequence of harmonic maps with respect to non-local Dirichlet…

On symplectic manifolds, we introduce a Morse-type complex with elements generated by pairs of critical points of a Morse function. The differential of the complex consists of gradient flows and an integration of the symplectic structure…

The aim of this note is to establish the correspondence between the twisted localized Pestov identity on the unit tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold and the Weitzenb\"ock identity for twisted symmetric tensors on the manifold.
