We show that the minimal symplectic area of Lagrangian submanifolds are universally bounded in symplectically aspherical domains with vanishing symplectic cohomology. If an exact domain admits a $k$-semi-dilation, then the minimal…

We prove a result which establishes restrictions on the pseudoholomorphic curves which can exist in a stable Hamiltonian manifold in the presence of certain $\mathbb{R}$-invariant foliations of the symplectization by holomorphic…

We consider a class of special Lagrangian subspaces of Calabi-Yau manifolds and identify their mirrors, using the recent derivation of mirror symmetry, as certain holomorphic varieties of the mirror geometry. This transforms the counting of…

We study the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in standard symplectic vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^n$ using ideas from open-closed string topology. Specifically, for a closed, oriented, spin Lagrangian $L$, we construct a (possibly curved)…

We prove a symplectic version of a conjecture of Lian and Pandharipande: in sufficiently high degree, the fixed-domain Gromov-Witten invariants of positive symplectic manifolds are signed counts of pseudo-holomorphic curves. The original…

In his ``Four Lectures", Gromov conjectured a scalar curvature extremality property of convex polytopes. Moreover, Gromov outlined a proof of the conjecture in the special case when the dihedral angles are acute. Gromov's argument relies on…

We define Gromov--Witten invariants of exploded manifolds. The technical heart of this paper is a construction of a virtual fundamental class $[\mathcal K]$ of any Kuranishi category $\mathcal K$ (which is a simplified, more general version…
