Using PL-methods, we prove the Marden's conjecture that a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with finitely generated fundamental group and with no parabolics are topologically tame. Our approach is to form an exhaustion $M_i$ of $M$ and modify the…
We construct examples in any odd dimension of contact manifolds with finite and non-zero algebraic torsion (in the sense of Latschev-Wendl), which are therefore tight and do not admit strong symplectic fillings. We prove that Giroux torsion…
We study Lagrangian points on smooth holomorphic curves in T${\mathbb P}^1$ equipped with a natural neutral K\"ahler structure, and prove that they must form real curves. By virtue of the identification of T${\mathbb P}^1$ with the space…
We prove that if X, X' are closed subschemes of a torus T over a non-Archimedean field K, of complementary codimension and with finite intersection, then the stable tropical intersection along a (possibly positive-dimensional, possibly…
The restrictions on the topology of nonsingular plane projective real algebraic curves of odd degree, obtained by O. Viro and the author in the paper published in the early 90s, are extended to flexible curves lying on an almost complex…
Given the Lagrangian fibration $T^4\to T^2$ and a Lagrangian submanifold, exhibiting an elliptic umbilic and supporting a flat line bundle, we study, in the context of mirror symmetry, the ``quantum'' corrections necessary to solve the…
We prove a global local rigidity result for character varieties of 3-manifolds into $\rm{SL}_2$. Given a 3-manifold with toric boundary $M$ satisfying some technical hypotheses, we prove that all but a finite number of its Dehn fillings…
We develop a calculus for counting pseudoholomorphic disks with boundary in tropical Lagrangians contained in almost toric manifolds, using our previous work with Venugopalan. The results are mostly in dimension four under monotonicity…
The mirror of a toric orbifold is an affine curve called the mirror curve. In this paper, firstly, we recall the basic tools in tropical geometry and give a definition of the mirror curve. Then we calculate the tropical spine of the mirror…
This paper focuses on a topological version on the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry conjecture. Roughly put, the SYZ conjecture suggests that mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds are related by the existence of dual special Lagrangian…
The paper associates Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic toric varieties to certain tropical curves inside the convex polyhedral domains of $\R^n$ that appear as the images of the moment map of the toric varieties. We pay a particular…
Mirror symmetry suggests that on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold moduli spaces of stable bundles, especially those with degree zero and indivisible Chern class, might be smooth (i.e. unobstructed, though perhaps of too high a dimension). This is…
The purpose of this paper is to prove a gluing theorem for a given special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. The proof will be an adaption of the gluing techniques in J-holomorphic curve theory. It is a well known procedure in…
Let $L$ be a compact oriented Lagrangian surface in a K\"ahler surface endowed with a complete Riemannian metric (compatible with the symplectic structure and the complex structure) with bounded sectional curvatures and a positive lower…
A compact complex manifold is Kobayashi non-hyperbolic if there exists an entire curve on it. Using mirror symmetry we establish that there are (possibly singular) elliptic or rational curves on any Calabi-Yau manifold $X$, whose mirror…
Given an admissible 3-manifold $M$ and a cohomology class $\phi\in H^1(M;\mathbb R)$, we prove that the universal $L^2$-torsion of $M$ detects the fiberedness of $\phi$, except when $M$ is a closed graph manifold that admits no…
An exact Lagrangian submanifold $L \subset X^{2n}$ in a Weinstein sector is called a nearby Lagrangian cocore if it avoids all Lagrangian cocores and is equal to a shifted Lagrangian cocore at infinity. Let $k$ be the dimension of the core…
We study Riemannian metrics on compact, torsionless, non-geometric $3$-manifolds, i.e. whose interior does not support any of the eight model geometries. We prove a lower bound "\`a la Margulis" for the systole and a volume estimate for…
In this paper the relations between the existence of Lagrangian fibration of Hyper-K\"{a}hler manifolds and the existence of the Large Radius Limit is established. It is proved that if the the rank of the second homology group of a…
Let M be a closed, orientable, irreducible, non-simply connected 3-manifold. We prove that if M admits a sequence of Riemannian metrics whose sectional curvature is locally controlled and whose thick part becomes asymptotically hyperbolic…
