We prove that if a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed monotone symplectic manifold with semisimple quantum homology has more contractible fixed points, counted homologically, than the total dimension of the homology of the manifold,…

We study $C^r$ ($5 \le r \le \infty$) diffeomorphisms on closed manifolds of dimension at least three with a heteroclinic cycle between two hyperbolic periodic points. At each point, the unstable direction is one dimensional, and the stable…

We study the properties of sets $\Sigma$ having the minimal length (one-dimensional Hausdorff measure) over the class of closed connected sets $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying the inequality $\mbox{max}_{y \in M}…

Our main result is to give necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of Fourier transforms, on a closed ideal $I$ in $\loneg$, the space of radial integrable functions on $G=SU(1,1)$, so that $I=\loneg$ or $I=\lonez$---the ideal of…

We study the group of C^{r}-diffeomorphisms of the closed annulus that are isotopic to the identity. We show that, for r different from 3, the linear space of homogeneous quasi-morphisms on this group is one dimensional. Therefore, the…

The main result of this note is that every closed Hamiltonian S^1 manifold is uniruled, i.e. it has a nonzero Gromov--Witten invariant one of whose constraints is a point. The proof uses the Seidel representation of \pi_1 of the Hamiltonian…

We develop Floer theory of Lagrangian torus fibers in compact symplectic toric orbifolds. We first classify holomorphic orbi-discs with boundary on Lagrangian torus fibers. We show that there exists a class of basic discs such that we have…

We consider transport exponents associated with the dynamics of a wavepacket in a discrete one-dimensional quantum system and develop a general method for proving upper bounds for these exponents in terms of the norms of transfer matrices…

Let $(M,g)$ be a (complete) Riemannian surface, and let $\Omega\subset M$ be an open subset whose closure is homeomorphic to a disk. We prove that if $\partial\Omega$ is smooth and it satisfies a strong concavity assumption, then there are…

We prove (a weak version of) Arnold's Chord Conjecture using Gromov's ``classical'' idea in to produce holomorphic disks with boundary on a Lagrangian submanifold.

Fix a suitable link on the disk. Recently, F. Morabito associates each Hamiltonian symplecticmorphism preserving the link to a braid type. Based on this construction, Morabito defines a family of pseudometrics on the braid groups by using…

We prove a laplacian comparison theorem in the barrier sense for the function distance to the boundary of Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, area and mean curvature of the boundary bounded above. As an application we get…

We use the criteria of Lalonde and McDuff to show that a path that is generated by a generic autonomous Hamiltonian is length minimizing with respect to the Hofer norm among all homotopic paths provided that it induces no non-constant…

We define a new family of spectral invariants associated to certain Lagrangian links in compact and connected surfaces of any genus. We show that our invariants recover the Calabi invariant of Hamiltonians in their limit. As applications,…

We study collections of exact Lagrangian submanifolds respecting some uniform Riemannian bounds, which we equip with a metric naturally arising in symplectic topology (e.g. the Lagrangian Hofer metric or the spectral metric). We exhibit…

Link spectral invariants were introduced by Cristofaro-Gardiner, Humili\`ere, Mak, Seyfaddini, and Smith. They induce Hofer-Lipschitz quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the two-dimensional sphere. We prove that…

We use nonsmooth critical point theory and the theory of geodesics with obstacle to show a multiplicity result about orthogonal geodesic chords in a Riemannian manifold (with boundary) which is homeomorphic to an $N$-disk. This applies to…

In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…

Let G be a second countable, locally compact group and let f be a continuous Herz-Schur multiplier on G. Our main result gives the existence of a (not necessarily uniformly bounded) strongly continuous representation on a Hilbert space,…
