We study holomorphic spheres in certain symplectic cobordisms and derive information about periodic Reeb orbits in the concave end of these cobordisms from the non-compactness of the relevant moduli spaces. We use this to confirm the strong…

A new procedure for the construction of higher-dimensional Lie-Hamilton systems is proposed. This method is based on techniques belonging to the representation theory of Lie algebras and their realization by vector fields. The notion of…

We exhibit a distinctly low-dimensional dynamical obstruction to the existence of Liouville cobordisms: for any contact 3-manifold admitting an exact symplectic cobordism to the tight 3-sphere, every nondegenerate contact form admits an…

The classical construction of the symplectic structure on the space of geodesic trajectories via Hamiltonian reduction fails in the pseudo-Riemannian setting due to a dimensional mismatch created by the null geodesics. This paper proposes a…

We give the parallelism between locally conformal symplectic manifolds and contact manifolds. We also give the generalization of exact contact manifolds.

A first classification of para-K\"{a}hler structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras was obtained by D. Calvaruzo in 2015. In this paper, we propose another classification based on the classification of symplectic Lie algebras. For each…

Let (M,g) be an oriented Lorentzian 4-manifold, and consider the space S of oriented, unparameterized time-like 2-surfaces in M (string world-sheets) with fixed boundary conditions. Then the infinite-dimensional manifold S carries a natural…

We continue the program of Chinea, De Leon and Marrero who studied the topology of cosymplectic manifolds. We study 3-cosymplectic manifolds which are the closest odd-dimensional analogue of hyper-Kaehler structures. We show that there is…

We introduce a framework of structural approximation to represent Lorentz-invariant Minkowski space-time as the limit of finite cyclic lattices, each equipped with the action of a finite quasi-Lorentz group. This construction provides a…

We study the real, massive Klein-Gordon field on a $C^\infty$ globally-hyperbolic background space-time with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. In particular, the parametrization of this system as initiated by Dirac and Kucha\v{r} is put on a…

Integrable Hamiltonian systems on symplectic manifolds have been well-studied. However, an intrinsic property of these kind of systems is that they can only live on even dimensional manifolds. To introduce a similar notion of integrability…

The mathematics of a 4-dimensional renormalizable generally covariant lagrangian model (with first order derivatives) is reviewed. The lorentzian CR manifolds are totally real submanifolds of 4(complex)-dimensional complex manifolds…

We study the question of integrability of a compatible almost complex structure on a compact symplectic 4-manifold, under various natural assumptions on the curvature of the associated almost Kahler metric.

We prove that, for any n, there are simply-connected four-manifolds which admit n-tuples of symplectic forms whose first Chern classes have pairwise different divisibilities in integral cohomology. It follows that the moduli space of…

Let S be a compact connected oriented orbifold surface We show that using Bers simultaneous uniformization, the moduli space of projective structure on S can be mapped biholomorphically onto the total space of the holomorphic cotangent…

This short and fairly informal note is an attempt to explain how methods of homological algebra may be brought to bear on problems in symplectic geometry. We do this by looking at a familiar sample question, which is that of the topology of…

In this paper we study overcomplete systems of coherent states associated to compact integral symplectic manifolds by geometric quantization. Our main goals are to give a systematic treatment of the construction of such systems and to…

The classical Arnold-Liouville theorem describes the geometry of an integrable Hamiltonian system near a regular level set of the moment map. Our results describe it near a nondegenerate singular level set: a tubular neighborhood of a…

We present an \emph{ideal, conformally covariant} characterization of the family of four dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes that are conformally related to the Kerr vacuum solution.

We show that any non-Kahler, almost Kahler 4-manifold for which both the Ricci and the Weyl curvatures have the same algebraic symmetries as they have for a Kahler metric is locally isometric to the (only) proper 3-symmetric 4-dimensional…
