This short and fairly informal note is an attempt to explain how methods of homological algebra may be brought to bear on problems in symplectic geometry. We do this by looking at a familiar sample question, which is that of the topology of…

In this paper we describe the cohomogeneity one special Lagrangian 3-folds in the cotangent bundle of the 3-sphere, also known in the physics literature as a deformed conifold. Our main result gives a global foliation of the deformed…

We extend constructions and results of Damian to get topological obstructions to the existence of closed monotone Lagrangian embeddings into the cotangent bundle of a space which is the total space of a fibration over the circle.

We give topological obstructions to the existence of a closed exact Lagrangian submanifold in the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold M which is the total space of a fibration over the circle. For instance we show that the fundamental…

This note presents basic restrictions on the topology "general" Lagrangian surfaces of hyper-K\"ahler $4$-folds and a remark on the interaction of a Lagrangian subvariety with a Lagrangian fibration of the associated hyper-K\"ahler variety.

In this note, we survey our recent work concerning cohomologies of harmonic bundles on quasi-compact Kaehler manifolds.

For any irreducible compact homogeneous K\"ahler manifold, we classify the compact tight Lagrangian submanifolds which have the Z_2-homology of a sphere.

This short paper shows a topological obstruction of the existence of certain Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic $4m$-manifolds.

Let k>2. We prove that the cotangent bundles of oriented homotopy (2k-1)-spheres S and S' are symplectomorphic only if the classes defined by S and S' agree up to sign in the quotient group of oriented homotopy spheres modulo those which…

We find new obstructions on the topology of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds of $C^{n}$ under some hypothesis on the homology of their universal cover. In particular we show that nontrivial connected sums of manifolds of odd dimensions do…

A classical way to construct a Lagrangian in a symplectic manifold $\Sigma$ is to let $\Sigma$ appear as a smooth fiber in a Lefschetz fibration. If this is possible the singularities of the fibration induce Lagrangian spheres in $\Sigma$…

We define partial quasi-morphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the cotangent bundle using the spectral invariants in Lagrangian Floer homology with conormal boundary conditions, where the product compatible with the PSS…

This survey provides an introduction to basic questions and techniques surrounding the topology of the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface. Through examples, we demonstrate how the structure of the cohomology ring of…

Let $N$ be a closed manifold and $U \subset T^*(N)$ a bounded domain in the cotangent bundle of $N$, containing the zero-section. A conjecture due to Viterbo asserts that the spectral metric for Lagrangian submanifolds that are…

We consider exact Lagrangian submanifolds in cotangent bundles. Under certain additional restrictions (triviality of the fundamental group of the cotangent bundle, and of the Maslov class and second Stiefel-Whitney class of the Lagrangian…

We show that the cardinality of the transverse intersection of two compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds in a cotangent bundle is bounded from below by the dimension of the Hom space of sheaf quantizations of the Lagrangians in Tamarkin's…

In dimensions congruent to 1 modulo 4, we prove that the cotangent bundle of an exotic sphere which does not bound a parallelisable manifold is not symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle of the standard sphere. More precisely, we prove…

We establish restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings of rational homology spheres into certain open symplectic manifolds, namely the (A_m) Milnor fibres of odd complex dimension. This relies on general considerations about equivariant objects…

We study collections of exact Lagrangian submanifolds respecting some uniform Riemannian bounds, which we equip with a metric naturally arising in symplectic topology (e.g. the Lagrangian Hofer metric or the spectral metric). We exhibit…

We define a subcategory of the category of diffeological spaces, which contains smooth manifolds, the diffeomorphism subgroups and its coadjoint orbits. In these spaces we construct a tangent bundle, vector fields and a de Rham cohomology.
