We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…
Schwarz showed that when a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om) is symplectically aspherical (i.e. the symplectic form and the first Chern class vanish on \pi_2(M)) then the spectral invariants, which are initially defined on the universal…
Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a conformal symplectic manifold. We prove a convexity theorem for the moment map under the assumption that the action is of Lee type, which establishes an analog of Kirwan's…
The existence of the Hamiltonians of the renormalized point interactions in two and three dimensional Riemannian manifolds and that of a relativistic extension of this model in two dimensions are proven. Although it is much more difficult,…
This paper is about the rigidity of compact group actions in the Poisson context. The main resut is that Hamiltonian actions of compact semisimple type are rigid. We prove it via a Nash-Moser normal form theorem for closed subgroups of…
In this article, we study the behavior of iterations of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. We prove that symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms do not have $C^1$-recurrence on negatively…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be a closed symplectic manifold and $\textup{Ham}(M,\omega)$ the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $(M,\omega)$. Then the Seidel homomorphism is a map from the fundamental group of $\textup{Ham}(M,\omega)$ to the…
We prove a normal form theorem for principal Hamiltonian actions on Poisson manifolds around the zero locus of the moment map. The local model is the generalization to Poisson geometry of the classical minimal coupling construction from…
We derive a complete asymptotic expansion of generalized Witten integrals for Hamiltonian circle actions on arbitrary symplectic manifolds, characterizing the coefficients in the expansion as integrals over the symplectic strata of the…
For every compact almost complex manifold (M,J) equipped with a J-preserving circle action with isolated fixed points, a simple algebraic identity involving the first Chern class is derived. This enables us to construct an algorithm to…

Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts in a polar…
We will discuss the equivariant cohomology of a manifold endowed with the action of a Lie group. Localization formulae for equivariant integrals are explained by a vanishing theorem for equivariant cohomology with generalized coefficients.…
We construct absolute and relative versions of Hamiltonian Floer homology algebras for strongly semi-positive compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary, where the ring structures are given by the appropriate versions of the…
Let the circle act effectively in a Hamiltonian fashion on a compact symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$. Assume that the fixed point set $M^{S^1}$ has exactly two components, $X$ and $Y$, and that $\dim(X) + \dim(Y) +2 = \dim(M)$. We first…
Dirac brackets are widely used to study constrained Hamiltonian dynamics. In this paper we develop a Dirac-bracket approach to normal forms on momentum levels and relate it to symplectic reduction in the cases where reduction yields a…
We consider a family of compact, oriented and connected Riemannian manifolds shrinking to a metric graph and describe the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian. We apply our results to produce manifolds with…
We show that a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a closed symplectic manifold which is symplectically aspherical has at least the stable Morse number of fixed points - this is in line with a conjecture by Arnold.
A study of symplectic actions of a finite group $G$ on smooth 4-manifolds is initiated. The central new idea is the use of $G$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Taubes theory in studying the structure of the fixed-point set of these symmetries.…
We study spectral action for Riemannian manifolds with boundary, and then generalize this to noncommutative spaces which are products of a Riemannian manifold times a finite space. We determine the boundary conditions consistent with the…
