We use the equivalence between embedded contact homology and Seiberg-Witten Floer homology to obtain the following improvements on the Weinstein conjecture. Let Y be a closed oriented connected 3-manifold with a stable Hamiltonian…
This article studies the symplectic cohomology of affine algebraic surfaces that admit a compactification by a normal crossings anticanonical divisor. Using a toroidal structure near the compactification divisor, we describe the complex…
For a class of Riemannian manifolds that include products of arbitrary compact manifolds with manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature on the one hand, or with certain positive-curvature examples such as spheres of dimension at least 3…
We give a construction of Piunikhin--Salamon--Schwarz isomorphism between the Morse homology and the Floer homology generated by Hamiltonian orbits starting at the zero section and ending at the conormal bundle. We also prove that this…
In the first part of the present series of papers, we studied the moduli spaces of holomorphic discs and strips into an open symplectic manifold, isomorphic to the complement of a smooth divisor in a closed symplectic manifold. In…
We fix an orientation issue which appears in our previous paper about the isomorphism between Floer homology of cotangent bundles and loop space homology. When the second Stiefel-Whitney class of the underlying manifold does not vanish on…
For any compact connected Lie group $G$, we study the Hamiltonian sum of two compact Hamiltonian group $G$-manifolds $(X^+,\omega^+,\mu^+)$ and $(X^-,\omega^-,\mu^-)$ with a common codimension 2 Hamiltonian submanifold $Z$ of the opposite…
Let K \subset Y be a knot in a three manifold which admits a longitude-framed surgery such that the surgered manifold has first Betti number greater than that of Y. We find a formula which computes the twisted Floer homology of the surgered…
This paper establishes the orderability of contact manifolds which are quotients of fillable contact manifolds under finite group actions compatible with the filling, the prototypical example being $\mathbb{R}P^{2n-1}$ as the quotient of…
In this article we address two issues. First, we explore to what extent the techniques of Piunikhin, Salamon and Schwarz in [PSS96] can be carried over to Lagrangian Floer homology. In [PSS96] an isomorphism between Hamiltonian Floer…
Liouville domains are a special type of symplectic manifolds with boundary (they have an everywhere defined Liouville flow, pointing outwards along the boundary). Symplectic cohomology for Liouville domains was introduced by…
We introduce and study a class of compact 4-manifolds with boundary that we call protocorks. Any exotic pair of simply connected closed 4-manifolds is related by a protocork twist, moreover, any cork is supported by a protocork. We prove a…
A symplectic semitoric manifold is a symplectic $4$-manifold endowed with a Hamiltonian $(S^1 \times \mathbb{R})$-action satisfying certain conditions. The goal of this paper is to construct a new symplectic invariant of symplectic…
Floer theory was originally devised to estimate the number of 1-periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems. In earlier works, we constructed Floer homology for homoclinic orbits on two dimensional manifolds using combinatorial techniques. In…
We prove a Smith-type inequality for regular covering spaces in monopole Floer homology. Using the monopole Floer / Heegaard Floer correspondence, we deduce that if a 3-manifold Y admits a p^n-sheeted regular cover that is a Z/pZ-L-space…
We incorporate pearly Floer trajectories into the transversality scheme for pseudoholomorphic maps introduced by Cieliebak-Mohnke. By choosing generic domain-dependent almost complex structures we obtain zero and one-dimensional moduli…
The long exact sequence describes how the Floer cohomology of two Lagrangian submanifolds changes if one of them is modified by applying a Dehn twist. We give a proof in the simplest case (no bubbling). The paper contains a certain amount…
We define a version of spectral invariant in the vortex Floer theory for a $G$-Hamiltonian manifold $M$. This defines potentially new (partial) symplectic quasi-morphism and quasi-states when $M//G$ is not semi-positive. We also establish a…
This thesis considers fillable contact structures on odd-dimensional manifolds. For that purpose, Rabinowitz-Floer homology (RFH) is used which was introduced by Cieliebak and Frauenfelder in 2009. A major part of the thesis is devoted to…
We quantize the problem considered by Bott-Samelson who applied Morse theory to any compact symmetric space $G/K$ and the associated real flag manifold $G_{\mathbb{R}}/B$ which is a real locus of a complex partial flag variety…
