In this note we show that the Lagrangian Luttinger surgery preserves the symplectic Kodaira dimension. Some constraints on Lagrangian tori in symplectic four manifolds with non-positive Kodaira dimension are also derived.
INTRODUCTION This papers deals with partial differential equations of second order, linear, with constant and not constant coefficients, in two variables, which admit real characteristics. I face the study of PDEs with the mentality of the…

We study some classes of semi-linear differential equations including both well-posed and ill-posed cases that can generate cocycles (or cocycle correspondences with generating cocycles). Under exponential dichotomy condition with other…
Motivated by a model in quantum computation we study orthogonal sets of integral vectors of the same norm that can be extended with new vectors keeping the norm and the orthogonality. Our approach involves some arithmetic properties of the…

In a previous paper (PeCa24), the notion of Dirac structure in finite dimension was extended to the convenient setting. In particular, we introduce the notion of \emph{partial Dirac structure on a convenient manifold} and look for which all…
