Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold, $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold and $V$ be a codimension 2 symplectic submanifold of $X$, we consider the pseudoholomorphic maps from a Riemann surface with boundary…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold and $G$ a connected, compact Lie group acting on $M$ in a Hamiltonian way. In this paper, we study the equivariant cohomology of $M$ represented by basic differential forms, and relate it to the cohomology…

In a recent preprint, we showed that for the Dirichlet Laplacian $\Delta$ on the unit disk, the wave trace ${Tr}(e^{it\sqrt{\Delta}})$, which has complicated singularities on $2\pi - \epsilon < t < 2\pi$, is, on the interval $2\pi < t <…

We present an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants that works on arbitrary (closed) symplectic manifolds. We avoid genericity arguments and take into account singular curves in the very formulation. The method is by first endowing mapping…

In this article, we consider the manifold learning problem when the data set is invariant under the action of a compact Lie group $K$. Our approach consists in augmenting the data-induced graph Laplacian by integrating over the $K$-orbits…

We show that the geodesic period spectrum of a Riemannian 2-orbifold all of whose geodesics are closed depends, up to a constant, only on its orbifold topology and compute it. In the manifold case we recover the fact proved by Gromoll,…

In geophysical environments, wave motions that are shaped by the action of gravity and global rotation bear the name of gravito-inertial waves. We present a geometrical description of gravito-inertial surface waves, which are low-frequency…

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 consider Open Gromov-Witten invariants for noncompact Calabi-Yau in the case the Lagrangian has the topology of $\R^2 \times S^1$. The definition of the invariant involves the choice of a frame for the Lagrangian, in accord with string…

We prove that if $n$ is even, $(M,g)$ is a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Pfaffian form is a positive multiple of the volume form, and $y\in C^{1,\alpha}(M;\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ is an isometric immersion with $n/(n+1)<…
