The purpose of this article is twofold. First we outline a general construction scheme for producing simply-connected minimal symplectic 4-manifolds with small Euler characteristics. Using this scheme, we illustrate how to obtain…

In this note we present a new definition of the 4-manifold admitting inequivalent symplectic structures constructed by McMullen-Taubes which leads to the identification of a new symplectic structure. We prove moreover that it is…

We introduce a natural symplectic structure on the moduli space of quadratic differentials with simple zeros and describe its Darboux coordinate systems in terms of so-called homological coordinates. We then show that this structure…

Let $\pi: P\to B$ be a locally trivial fiber bundle over a connected CW complex $B$ with fiber equal to the closed symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$. Then $\pi$ is said to be a symplectic fiber bundle if its structural group is the group of…

The symplectomorphism group of a 2-dimensional surface is homotopy equivalent to the orbit of a filling system of curves. We give a generalization of this statement to dimension 4. The filling system of curves is replaced by a decomposition…

A compact symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ is said to satisfy the hard-Lefschetz condition if it is possible to develop an analogue of Hodge theory for $(M, \omega)$. This loosely means that there is a notion of harmonicity of differential…

This paper investigates ways to enlarge the Hamiltonian subgroup Ham of the symplectomorphism group Symp(M) of the symplectic manifold (M, \omega) to a group that both intersects every connected component of Symp(M) and characterizes…

By a result of Kedra and Pinsonnault, we know that the topology of groups of symplectomorphisms of symplectic 4-manifolds is complicated in general. However, in all known (very specific) examples, the rational cohomology rings of…

We prove that a compact 4-manifold which supports a circle-invariant fat SO(3)-bundle is diffeomorphic to either S^4 or CP^2-bar. The proof involves studying the resulting Hamiltonian circle action on an associated symplectic 6-manifold.…

Let $(\bar{M}, \omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold with convex boundary and $c_1(T\bar{M})=0$. Suppose that $(\bar{M}, \omega)$ is equipped with a convex Hamiltonian $G$-action for some connected, compact Lie group $G$. We construct…
