We give a new proof of the absence of non-trivial idempotents in the group ring of torsion-free cocompact lattices in SL(n,C). It is based on the following procedure. We lift the class of the trace in the cyclic cohomology of the group ring…

We consider cylinders in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ (see definitions in the introduction) and prove that a complete and connected surface in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ with the vanishing of the Gauss and extrinsic curvatures is a cylinder.

We show that Legendrian pre-quantization lifts of many non-exact Lagrangian submanifolds in $\mathbb{C}^n$ retain some quantitative rigidity from the symplectic base. In particular, they cannot be moved by Legendrian isotopy into an…

We study the relation of an embedded Lagrangian cobordism between two closed, orientable Legendrian submanifolds of R^{2n+1}. More precisely, we investigate the behavior of the Thurston-Bennequin number and (linearized) Legendrian contact…

Let (X, g) be an arbitrary pseudo-riemannian manifold. A celebrated result by Lovelock gives an explicit description of all second-order natural (0,2)-tensors on X, that satisfy the conditions of being symmetric and divergence-free. Apart…

This article is a survey of a series of papers [FOOO3,FOOO4,FOOO5] in which we developed the method of calculation of Floer cohomology of Lagrangian torus orbits in compact toric manifolds, and its applications to symplectic topology and to…

Manifold calculus of functors has in recent years been successfully used in the study of the topology of various spaces of embeddings of one manifold in another. Given a space of embeddings, the theory produces a Taylor tower whose purpose…

The 2D $\mathbb{Z}_2$ toric code admits a global symmetry exchanging electric and magnetic quasiparticles, known as electromagnetic duality. Known realizations include lattice translation symmetry, an exact $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry generated…

In [FOOO12], K. Fukaya, Y. Oh, H. Ohta, and K. Ono (FOOO) obtained the monotone symplectic manifold $S^2\times S^2$ by resolving the singularity of a toric degeneration of a Hirzebruch surface. They identified a continuum of toric fibers in…

We prove that, for closed exact embedded Lagrangian submanifolds of cotangent bundles, the homomorphism of homotopy groups induced by the stable Lagrangian Gauss map vanishes. In particular, we prove that this map is null-homotopic for all…

We present a very simple proof of the global existence of a $C^\infty$ Lagrangian flow map for the 2D Euler and second-grade fluid equations (on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary) which has $C^\infty$ dependence on initial data…

The Lagrangian skeleton of the rational homology ball $B_{p,q}$, for $0<q<p$ coprime integers, is an immersed but not embedded Lagrangian, called a $(p,q)$-pinwheel. We show that any two embeddings of Lagrangian $(p,q)$-pinwheels in…

In this paper we show that two Lagrangian graphs over the torus in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with large Lagrangian phase can be connected via Lipschitz continuous geodesic with respect to the $L^2$ metric on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds. In…

Let $L_t$ be a zero Maslov, rational Lagrangian mean curvature flow in a compact Calabi-Yau surface, and suppose that at the first singular time a tangent flow is given by the static union of two transverse planes. We show that in this case…

We prove that any positive braid Legendrian link not isotopic to a standard finite type link admits infinitely many exact Lagrangian fillings.

In this note, we give natural extensions to cylinders and tori of a classical result due to T. Takahashi about minimal immersions into spheres. More precisely, we deal with Euclidean isometric immersions whose projections in R^N satisfy a…

We construct the first non-trivial examples of compact non-isometric Alexandrov spaces which are isospectral with respect to the Laplacian and not isometric to Riemannian orbifolds. This construction generalizes independent earlier results…

We prove that a compact, intrinsically symmetric submanifold of a Euclidean space is extrinsically symmetric if and only if its maximal tori are Clifford tori in the ambient space. Moreover, we show that this result can be used to give a…

We present a novel lambda calculus that casts the categorical approach to the study of quantum protocols into the rich and well established tradition of type theory. Our construction extends the linear typed lambda calculus with a linear…

We show that under certain conditions the flyping operation on rational tangles, which produces topologically isotopic tangles, may also produce tangles which are not Legendrian isotopic when viewed in the standard contact structure on…
