Spheres can be written as homogeneous spaces $G/H$ for compact Lie groups in a small number of ways. In each case, the decomposition of $L^2(G/H)$ into irreducible representations of $G$ contains interesting information. We recall these…

We prove that (under appropriate orientation conditions, depending on $R$) a Hamiltonian isotopy $\psi^1$ of a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ fixing a relatively exact Lagrangian $L$ setwise must act trivially on $R_*(L)$, where $R_*$ is…

In this paper we prove that every open Riemann surface properly embeds in the Special Linear group $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ as a holomorphic Legendrian curve, where $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ is endowed with its standard contact structure. As a…

Certain dissipative physical systems closely resemble Hamiltonian systems in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, but with the canonical equation for one of the variables in each conjugate pair rescaled by a real parameter. To generalise these dynamical…

The barotropic ideal fluid with step and delta-function discontinuities coupled to Einstein's gravity is studied. The discontinuities represent star surfaces and thin shells; only non-intersecting discontinuity hypersurfaces are considered.…

In this short note we discuss high-dimensional examples of Legendrian submanifolds of the standard contact Euclidean space with an infinite number of exact Lagrangian fillings up to Hamiltonian isotopy. They are obtained from the examples…

In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…

Applied to field theory, the familiar symplectic technique leads to instantaneous Hamiltonian formalism on an infinite-dimensional phase space. A true Hamiltonian partner of first order Lagrangian theory on fibre bundles $Y\to X$ is…

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…

This paper resolves a long-standing open problem by providing a classification of Willmore $2$-spheres in $S^n$. We show that any such $2$-sphere is either totally isotropic--originating from the projection of a special twistor curve in the…

Product Lagrangian tori in standard symplectic space $R^{2n}$ were classified up to symplectomorphism in [Che96]. We extend this classification to tame symplectically aspherical symplectic manifolds. We show by examples that the asphericity…

We study Lagrangian submanifolds foliated by (n-1)-spheres in R^2n for n>2. We give a parametrization valid for such submanifolds, and refine that description when the submanifold is special Lagrangian, self-similar or Hamiltonian…

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform…

We establish connections between contact isometry groups of certain contact manifolds and compactly supported symplectomorphism groups of their symplectizations. We apply these results to investigate the space of symplectic embeddings of…

The Hamiltonian theory of isomonodromy equations for meromorphic connections with irregular singularities on algebraic curves is constructed. An explicit formula for the symplectic structure on the space of monodromy and Stokes matrices is…

In this paper we classify Lagrangian spheres in $A_n$-surface singularities up to Hamiltonian isotopy. Combining with a result of A. Ritter, this yields a complete classification of exact Lagrangians in $A_n$-surface singularities.

This paper addresses several isotopy problems on $4$-manifolds. First, we classify the isotopy classes of embeddings of $\Sigma$ in $\Sigma\times S^2$ that are geometrically dual to $\{\mbox{pt}\}\times S^2$, where $\Sigma$ is a closed…

We prove that any uniformly elliptic Weingarten (topological) sphere in S2xR must be congruent to the canonical example associated to the Weingarten equation. The result is obtained by proving that rotational uniformly elliptic Weingarten…

The paper associates Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic toric varieties to certain tropical curves inside the convex polyhedral domains of $\R^n$ that appear as the images of the moment map of the toric varieties. We pay a particular…

Holographic CFTs and holographic RG flows on space-time manifolds which are $d$-dimensional products of spheres are investigated. On the gravity side, this corresponds to Einstein-dilaton gravity on an asymptotically $AdS_{d+1}$ geometry,…
