We prove that any null-homotopic holomorphic map from a Stein space $X$ to the symplectic group $\operatorname{Sp}_{4}(\mathbb{C})$ can be written as a finite product of elementary symplectic matrices with holomorphic entries.

We solve Gromov's Vaserstein problem. Namely, we show that a null-homotopic holomorphic mapping from a finite dimensional reduced Stein space into SL_n(C) can be factored into a finite product of unipotent matrices with holomorphic entries.

We prove that a symplectic matrix with entries in a ring with Bass stable rank one can be factored as a product of elementary symplectic matrices. This also holds for null-homotopic symplectic matrices with entries in a Banach algebra or in…

In this article we deduce some algebraic properties for the group $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n} (\mathcal{O}(X))$ of holomorphic symplectic matrices on a Stein space $X$: holomorphic factorization, exponential factorization, and Kazhdan's property (T).…

We estimate the number of unipotent elements needed to factor a null-homotopic holomorphic map from a finite dimensional reduced Stein spaces $X$ into $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$.

We prove that every holomorphic symplectic matrix can be factorized as a product of holomorphic unitriangular matrices with respect to the symplectic form $ \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & L_n \\ -L_n & 0\end{array}\right]$ where $L$ is the $n…

The algebra of holomorphic polynomial Sp_{2n}-invariants of k complex 2n by 2n matrices (under diagonal conjugation action) is generated by the traces of words in these matrices and their symplectic adjoints. No concrete minimal generating…

In this work one proves that, around each point of a dense open set (regular points), a real analytic or holomorphic bihamiltonian structure decomposes into a product of a Kronecker bihamiltonian structure and a symplectic one if a…

For each n greater than 7 we explicitly construct a sequence of Stein manifolds diffeomorphic to complex affine space of dimension n so that there is no algorithm to tell us in general whether a given such Stein manifold is symplectomorphic…

In this work, we prove that any symplectic matrix can be factored into no more than 9 unit triangular symplectic matrices. This structure-preserving factorization of the symplectic matrices immediately reveals two well-known features that,…

We show that every n-by-n matrix is generically a product of [n/2] + 1 Toeplitz matrices and always a product of at most 2n+5 Toeplitz matrices. The same result holds true if the word "Toeplitz" is replaced by "Hankel", and the generic…

We consider the homotopy type of maps between symplectic surface whose graphs form symplectic submanifolds of the product. We give a purely topological model for this space in terms of maps with constrained numbers of pre-images. We use…

We show that for n>=3 the symplectic group Sp(n) is as a 2-compact group determined up to isomorphism by the isomorphism type of its maximal torus normalizer. This allows us to determine the integral homotopy type of Sp(n) among connected…

We show that any element of the special linear group $SL_2(R)$ is a product of two exponentials if the ring $R$ is either the ring of holomorphic functions on an open Riemann surface or the disc algebra. This is sharp: one exponential…

We show that simply connected contact manifolds that are subcritically Stein fillable have a unique symplectically aspherical filling up to diffeomorphism. Various extensions to manifolds with non-trivial fundamental group are discussed.…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. A well-known factorization problem is whether any matrix in $\mathrm{SL}_n(R)$ is a product of elementary matrices with entries in $R$. To solve the problem, we use two approaches based on the notion of…

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…

In this survey paper we study parametric versions of writing a matrix in $SL_n (\mathbb{C})$ as a product of lower and upper unitriangular matrices in interchanging order as well as generalizations to other classical groups. We give an…

We show that the fundamental group of every enumeratively rationally connected closed symplectic manifold is finite. In other words, if a closed symplectic manifold has a non-zero Gromov-Witten invariant with two point insertions, then it…
