We study the global topology of the space $\mathcal L$ of loops of contactomorphisms of a non-orderable closed contact manifold $(M^{2n+1}, \alpha)$. We filter $\mathcal L$ by a quantitative measure of the ``positivity'' of the loops and…

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…

We study Legendrian surfaces determined by cubic planar graphs. Graphs with distinct chromatic polynomials determine surfaces that are not Legendrian isotopic, thus giving many examples of non-isotopic Legendrian surfaces with the same…

We study the Floer-theoretic interaction between disjointly supported Hamiltonians by comparing Floer-theoretic invariants of these Hamiltonians with the ones of their sum. These invariants include spectral invariants, boundary depth and…

This paper studies the self-Floer theory of a monotone Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold $X$ in the presence of various kinds of symmetry. First we suppose $L$ is $K$-homogeneous and compute the image of low codimension…

In this article we define Lagrangian concordance of Legendrian knots, the analogue of smooth concordance of knots in the Legendrian category. In particular we study the relation of Lagrangian concordance under Legendrian isotopy. The focus…

In this paper, Floer homology for Lagrangian submanifolds in an open symplectic manifold given as the complement of a smooth divisor is discussed. The main new feature of this construction is that we do not make any assumption on positivity…

The goal of this paper is to set up the general framework of higher-dimensional Heegaard Floer homology, define the contact class, and use it to give an obstruction to the Liouville fillability of a contact manifold and a sufficient…

We prove the equivalence of the sutured versions of Heegaard Floer homology, monopole Floer homology, and embedded contact homology. As applications we show that the knot versions of Heegaard Floer homology and embedded contact homology are…

In this paper, we apply spectral invariants, constructed in [Oh5,8], to the study of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$. Using spectral invariants, we first construct an invariant norm called the {\it…

An exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in the symplectization of standard contact $(2n-1)$-space with Legendrian boundary $\Sigma$ can be glued to itself along $\Sigma$. This gives a Legendrian embedding $\Lambda(L,L)$ of the double of $L$…

Loose Legendrian n-submanifolds, for n at least 2, were introduced by Murphy and proved to be flexible in the h-principle sense: any two loose Legendrian submanifolds that are formally Legendrian isotopic are also actually Legendrian…

Given a symplectic cohomology class of degree 1, we define the notion of an equivariant Lagrangian submanifold. The Floer cohomology of equivariant Lagrangian submanifolds has a natural endomorphism, which induces a grading by generalized…

A Riemannian orbifold is a mildly singular generalization of a Riemannian manifold that is locally modeled on $R^n$ modulo the action of a finite group. Orbifolds have proven interesting in a variety of settings. Spectral geometers have…

Sivek proves a "van Kampen" decomposition theorem for the combinatorial Legendrian contact algebra (also known as the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra) of knots in standard contact $\R^3$ . We prove an analogous result for the holomorphic curve…

We investigate the extrinsic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds and of their submanifolds in closed symplectic manifolds using Floer homological methods. The first result asserts that the homology class of a displaceable monotone…

Using generating functions quadratic at infinity for Lagrangian submanifolds of twisted cotangent bundles, we define spectral selectors for compactly supported lcs Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the locally conformal symplectizations $S^1…

We develop a variant of Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory for the shift operator in equivariant Floer and symplectic homology. Our key result is that the spectral invariants are strictly decreasing under the action of the shift operator when…

We use the contact invariant defined in [2] to construct a new invariant of Legendrian knots in Kronheimer and Mrowka's monopole knot homology theory (KHM), following a prescription of Stipsicz and V\'ertesi. Our Legendrian invariant…

We prove that the LOSS and GRID invariants of Legendrian links in knot Floer homology behave in certain functorial ways with respect to decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms in the symplectization of the standard contact structure on…
