We use contact fiber sums of open book decompositions to define an infinite hierarchy of filling obstructions for contact 3-manifolds, called planar k-torsion for nonnegative integers k, all of which cause the contact invariant in Embedded…

Suppose N is a compressible boundary component of a compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold M and Q is an orientable properly embedded essential surface in M in which each component is incident to N and no component is a disk. Let VN and…

Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifolds (HSLAG) are a natural generalization of special Lagrangian manifolds (SLAG). The latter only make sense on Calabi-Yau manifolds whereas the former are defined for any almost K\"ahler manifold.…

We establish rigidity results for holomorphic mappings and plurisubharmonic functions in complex geometry. First, under mild conditions, we show that the gradient of a $\operatorname{U}(1)$-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function in…

We show --- with the means of a real-analytic example in $\mathbb{C}^3$ --- that Gromov's theorem on the presence of attached holomorphic discs for compact Lagrangian manifolds is not true in the isotropic (subcritical) case, even in the…

We look at how one can construct from the data of a dimer model a Lagrangian submanifold in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ whose valuation projection approximates a tropical hypersurface. Each face of the dimer corresponds to a Lagrangian disk with…

We establish uniform upper and lower bounds on the restrictions of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the 2- and 3-dimensional standard flat torus to smooth hyper-surfaces with non-vanishing curvature.

We study a tropical analogue of the projective dual variety of a hypersurface. When $X$ is a curve in $\mathbb{P}^2$ or a surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$, we provide an explicit description of $\text{Trop}(X^*)$ in terms of $\text{Trop}(X)$, as…

We show that the following algorithmic problem is decidable: given a $2$-dimensional simplicial complex, can it be embedded (topologically, or equivalently, piecewise linearly) in $\mathbf{R}^3$? By a known reduction, it suffices to decide…

In this paper we obtain an analogue of Toponogov theorem in dimension 3 for compact manifolds $M^3$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary $\partial M$. Here we obtain a sharp upper bound for the length…

Let $X$ be a smooth cubic fourfold over $\C$ and let $\pi : \sJ_U \to U$, with $ U \subset (\P^5)^*$, be the Lagrangian fibration whose fibres are the smooth hyperplane sections $Y_ H = X \cap H$, with $H \in U$. There always exists a (not…

We give a simple proof of the local version of a result of R. Bryant, stating that any 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We refine the theorem…

A complementary approach, derived from (a) higher dimensional anti--de Sitter (AdS) space, (b) light-front quantization and (c) the invariance properties of the full conformal group in one dimension leads to a nonperturbative relativistic…

In this paper, we study the topological rigidity and its relationship with the positivity of scalar curvature. Precisely, we show that any complete contractible $3$-manifold with non-negative scalar curvature is homeomorphic to…

The geometric torsion conjecture asserts that the torsion part of the Mordell--Weil group of a family of abelian varieties over a complex quasiprojective curve is uniformly bounded in terms of the genus of the curve. We prove the conjecture…

We prove that certain Riemannian manifolds can be isometrically embedded inside Calabi-Yau manifolds. For example we prove that given any real-analytic one parameter family of Riemannian metrics $g_t$ on a 3-dimensional manifold $Y$ with…

We prove a conjecture of Barraud-Cornea for orientable Lagrangian surfaces. As a corollary, we obtain that displaceable Lagrangian 2--tori have finite Gromov width. In order to do so, we adapt the pearl complex of Biran-Cornea to the…

Lumley [Lumley J.L.: Adv. Appl. Mech. 18 (1978) 123--176] provided a geometrical proof that any Reynolds-stress tensor $\overline{u_i'u_j'}$ (indeed any tensor whose eigenvalues are invariably nonnegative) should remain inside the so-called…

Given a holomorphic Lagrangian fibration of a compact hyperkahler manifold, we use the differential geometry of the special Kahler metric that exists on the base away from the discriminant locus, and show that the pullback of the tangent…

We consider all complex projective manifolds X that satisfy at least one of the following three conditions: 1. There exists a pair $(C ,\varphi)$, where $C$ is a compact connected Riemann surface and $\varphi : C\to X$ a holomorphic map,…
