We give a construction of the Floer homology of the pair of {\it non-compact} Lagrangian submanifolds, which satisfies natural continuity property under the Hamiltonian isotopy which moves the infinity but leaves the intersection set of the…

In this paper, we will see that the symplectic creed by Weinstein "everything is a Lagrangian submanifold" also holds for Hamilton-Poincar\'e and Lagrange-Poincar\'e reduction. In fact, we show that solutions of the Hamilton-Poincar\'e…

The Hessian Topology is a subject with interesting relations with some classical problems of analysis and geometry. In this article we prove a conjecture on this subject stated by V.I. Arnold concerning the number of connected components of…

Bernard [3] showed that a Ma\~n\'e generic convex Hamiltonian has only non-degenerate periodic orbits on a given energy level. We show that one can use this result to prove that for a generic potential the prime periodic orbits of fixed…

We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $\phi$ of the unit cotangent bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ which extend to Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $T^*M$ equal to the time-1-map of the geodesic flow for $|p| \ge 1$. For…

Given a Lagrangian sphere in a symplectic 4-manifold $(M, \omega)$ with $b^+=1$, we find embedded symplectic surfaces intersecting it minimally. When the Kodaira dimension $\kappa$ of $(M, \omega)$ is $-\infty$, this minimal intersection…

We derive constraints on Lagrangian concordances from Legendrian submanifolds of the standard contact sphere admitting exact Lagrangian fillings. More precisely, we show that such a concordance induces an isomorphism on the level of…

We use a new variational method --based on the theory of anti-selfdual Lagrangians developed in [2] and [3]-- to establish the existence of solutions of convex Hamiltonian systems that connect two given Lagrangian submanifolds in $\R^{2N}$.…

We show, by an elementary and explicit construction, that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain symplectic manifolds, endowed with Hofer's metric, contains subgroups quasi-isometric to Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.

Suppose you have a family of Lagrangian submanifolds $L_t$ and an auxiliary Lagrangian $K$. Suppose that $K$ intersects some of the $L_t$ more than the minimal number of times. Can you eliminate surplus intersection (surplusection) with all…

For an immersed Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a K\"ahler manifold $(M,\omega)$, there exists a symplectic local diffeomorphism from a tubular neighborhood of the image of the zero section in the normal bundle $T^{\bot}L$ of $L$, equipped…

We introduce the notion of a symplectic Lie affgebroid and their Lagrangian submanifolds in order to describe the Lagrangian (Hamiltonian) dynamics on a Lie affgebroid in terms of this type of structures. Several examples are discussed.
