For a smooth map $f:X^4\to\Sigma^2$ that is locally modeled by holomorphic maps, the domain is shown to admit a symplectic structure that is symplectic on some regular fiber, if and only if $f^*[\Sigma]\ne0$. If so, the space of symplectic…

For any closed oriented surface F of genus at least three, we prove the existence of foliated F-bundles over surfaces such that the signatures of the total spaces are non-zero. We can arrange that the total holonomy of the horizontal…

We study weak versus strong symplectic fillability of some tight contact structures on torus bundles over the circle. In particular, we prove that almost all of these tight contact structures are weakly, but not strongly symplectically…

We define a perfect obstruction theory for a moduli of symplectic Higgs sheaves $(E,\phi)$ on projective surfaces $S$. Key to this is a minimality assumption on $\textrm{ch}(E)$ that forces all $E$ to be locally free. This might have…

Let $(X,D)$ and $(X',D')$ be two compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g \geq 4$ with the set of marked points $D \subset X$ and $D' \subset X'$. Fix a parabolic line bundle $L$ with trivial parabolic structure. Let…

We study harmonic bundles with an additional structure called symplectic structure. We study them for the case of the base manifold is compact and non-compact. For the compact case, we show that a harmonic bundle with a symplectic structure…

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface and $D$ an effective divisor on $X$. Let ${\mathcal N}_H(r,d)$ denote the moduli space of $D$-twisted stable Higgs bundles (a special class of Hitchin pairs) on $X$ of rank $r$ and degree $d$.…

We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure…

We show the existence of a symplectic structure on the moduli space of the Seiberg-Witten equations on $\Sigma \times \Sigma$ where $\Sigma$ is a compact oriented Riemann surface. To prequantize the moduli space, we construct a Quillen-type…

It is a well known fact that every embedded symplectic surface $\Sigma$ in a symplectic 4-manifold $(X^4,\omega)$ can be made $J$-holomorphic for some almost-complex structure $J$ compatible with $\omega$. In this paper we investigate when…

We consider canonical symplectic structure on the moduli space of flat ${\g}$-connections on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. For ${\g}$ being a semisimple Lie algebra we obtain an explicit efficient formula for this…

Let $X$ be a union of a sequence of symplectic manifolds of increasing dimension and let $M$ be a manifold with a closed $2$-form $\omega$. We use Tischler's elementary method for constructing symplectic embeddings in complex projective…

In this work, we study topological properties of surface bundles, with an emphasis on surface bundles with a spin structure. We develop a criterion to decide whether a given manifold bundle has a spin structure and specialize it to surface…

The purpose of this note is to present a construction of an infinite family of symplectic tori T_{p} representing an arbitrary multiple of the homology class of the fiber of an elliptic surface E(n), for n > 2, such that, for i \neq j,…

Suppose that $X$ is a torus bundle over a closed surface with homologically essential fibers. Let $X_K$ be the manifold obtained by Fintushel--Stern knot surgery on a fiber using a knot $K\subset S^3$. We prove that $X_K$ has a symplectic…

Let F be a fibration on a simply-connected base with symplectic fibre (M, \omega). Assume that the fibre is nilpotent and T^{2k}-separable for some integer k or a nilmanifold. Then our main theorem, Theorem 1.8, gives a necessary and…

We study symplectic rigidity phenomena for fibers in cotangent bundles of Riemann surfaces. Our main result can be seen as a generalization to open Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus of work of Eliashberg and Polterovich on the Nearby…

Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and Sigma a compact Riemann surface. We define a 2-form on the space of immersed symplectic surfaces in M, and show that the form is closed and non-degenerate, up to reparametrizations. Then we give…
