We prove that shifted cotangent stacks carry a canonical shifted symplectic structure. We also prove that shifted conormal stacks carry a canonical Lagrangian structure. These results were believed to be true but no written proof was…
We prove a 'Darboux theorem' for derived schemes with symplectic forms of degree $k<0$, in the sense of Pantev, Toen, Vaquie and Vezzosi arXiv:1111.3209. More precisely, we show that a derived scheme $X$ with symplectic form $\omega$ of…
We prove that the derived critical locus of a $G$-invariant function $S:X\to\mathbb{A}^1$ carries a shifted moment map, and that its derived symplectic reduction is the derived critical locus of the induced function…
We introduce and study the derived moduli stack $\mathrm{Symp}(X,n)$ of $n$-shifted symplectic structures on a given derived stack $X$, as introduced by [PTVV] (IHES Vol. 117, 2013). In particular, under reasonable assumptions on $X$, we…
Symplectic fillings of standard tight contact structures on lens spaces are understood and classified. The situation is different if one considers non-standard tight structures (i.e. those that are virtually overtwisted), for which a…
This work reviews the classical Darboux theorem for symplectic, presymplectic, and cosymplectic manifolds (which are used to describe regular and singular mechanical systems), and certain cases of multisymplectic manifolds, and extends it…
We show that any $(-2)$-shifted symplectic derived scheme $\textbf{X}$ (of finite type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) is locally equivalent to the derived intersection of two Lagrangian morphisms to a…
These are expanded notes from lectures given at the \'{E}tats de la Recherche workshop on "Derived algebraic geometry and interactions". These notes serve as an introduction to the emerging theory of Poisson structures on derived stacks.
We prove the AKSZ theorem for shifted Poisson structures: if $X$ is an $n$-shifted Poisson derived stack, and $Y$ a $d$-oriented derived stack, then the mapping stack \[\underline{\mathrm{Map}}(Y,X)\] is naturally endowed with an…
In this paper, we describe a general theory of "spaces with structure sheaves." Specializations of this theory include the classical theory of schemes, the theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks, and their derived generalizations.
We introduce how to pushforward shifted symplectic fibrations along base changes. This is achieved by considering symplectic forms that are closed in a stronger sense. Examples include: symplectic zero loci and symplectic quotients.…
Geometric optics is analysed using the techniques of Presymplectic Geometry. We obtain the symplectic structure of the space of light rays in a medium of a non constant refractive index by reduction from a presymplectic structure, and using…
We extend results about $n$-shifted coisotropic structures from part I of this work to the setting of derived Artin stacks. We show that an intersection of coisotropic morphisms carries a Poisson structure of shift one less. We also compare…
Generalizing local Gromov-Witten theory, in this paper we define a local version of symplectic field theory. When the symplectic manifold with cylindrical ends is four-dimensional and the underlying simple curve is regular by automatic…
This is a light survey article about the origins of contact and symplectic topology in dynamics and the more recent developments in the field. In lieu of formulas, numerous anecdotes are given.
Symplectic field theory (SFT) is a collection of homology theories that provide invariants for contact manifolds. We give a proof that vanishing of any one of either contact homology, rational SFT or (full) SFT are equivalent. We call a…
We introduce a notion of coisotropics on 1-shifted symplectic Lie groupoids (i.e. quasi-symplectic groupoids) using twisted Dirac structures and show that it satisfies properties analogous to the corresponding derived-algebraic notion in…
We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field…
We examine shifted symplectic and Poisson structures on spaces of framed maps. We prove some results about shifted Poisson structures analogous to those in existing ones about symplectic structures. Then, we consider the space Map(X,D,Y) of…
On a complex symplectic manifold, we construct the stack of quantization-deformation modules, that is, (twisted) modules of microdifferential operators with an extra central parameter, a substitute to the lack of homogeneity. We also…
