We construct Morse homology groups associated with any regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety, allowing singular and non-compact critical loci. These groups are generated by critical points of a certain large pertubation of…

We examine how symplectic cohomology may be used as an invariant on symplectic structures, and investigate the non-uniqueness of these structures on Liouville domains, a field which has seen much development in the past decade. Notably, we…

We give examples of symplectic actions of a cyclic group, inducing a trivial action on homology, on four-manifolds that admit Hamiltonian circle actions, and show that they do not extend to Hamiltonian circle actions. Our work applies…

We introduce the notion of symplectic microfolds and symplectic micromorphisms between them. They form a monoidal category, which is a version of the "category" of symplectic manifolds and canonical relations obtained by localizing them…

We define a class of symplectic fibrations called symplectic configurations. They are natural generalization of Hamiltonian fibrations. Their geometric and topological properties are investigated. We are mainly concentrated on integral…

We construct a multiplicative spectral sequence converging to the symplectic cohomology ring of any affine variety $X$, with first page built out of topological invariants associated to strata of any fixed normal crossings compactification…

To find all two-dimensional equivariant symplectic submanifolds in symplectic toric manifolds, we combine the convex geometry of Delzant polytopes with local equivariant symplectic models and obtain a criterion for determining when a…

We consider structures analogous to symplectic Lefschetz pencils in the context of a closed 4-manifold equipped with a `near-symplectic' structure (ie, a closed 2-form which is symplectic outside a union of circles where it vanishes…

We give two constructions of surfaces in simply-connected 4-manifolds with non simply-connected complements. One is an iteration of the twisted rim surgery introduced by the first author. We also construct, for any group G satisfying some…

In a compact, symplectic real manifold, i.e supporting an antisymplectic involution, we use Donaldson's construction to build a codimension 2 symplectic submanifold invariant under the action of the involution. If the real part of the…

We consider the existence of symplectic and conformal symplectic codimension-one foliations on closed manifolds of dimension at least 5. Our main theorem, based on a recent result by Bertelson-Meigniez, states that in dimension at least 7…

A topological condition is given, characterizing which closed manifolds in dimensions < 8 (and conjecturally in general) admit symplectic structures. The condition is the existence of a certain fibration-like structure called a hyperpencil.…

We prove that under certain conditions, the quantum cohomology of a positively monotone compact symplectic manifold is a deformation of the symplectic cohomology of the complement of a simple crossings symplectic divisor. We also prove…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a ruled symplectic four-manifold. If $(M, \omega)$ is rational, then every homologically trivial symplectic cyclic action on $(M,\omega)$ is the restriction of a Hamiltonian circle action.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the definition of symplectic structure on a smooth stratified pseudomanifold in the framework of local $\C^{\infty}$-ringed space theory. We introduce a sheaf-theoretic definition of symplectic…

We consider closed symplectically aspherical manifolds, i.e. closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ satisfying the condition $[\omega]|_{\pi_2M}=0$. Rudyak and Oprea [RO] remarked that such manifolds have nice and controllable homotopy…

A non-formal simply connected compact symplectic manifold of dimension 8 is constructed.

For any orbifold M, we explicitly construct a simplicial complex S(M) from a given triangulation of the `coarse' underlying space together with the local isotropy groups of M. We prove that, for any local system on M, this complex S(M) has…

We derive an obstruction to representing a homology class of a symplectic 4-manifold by an embedded, possibly disconnected, symplectic surface.

In this article we consider a version of the geography question for simply-connected symplectic 4-manifolds that takes into account the divisibility of the canonical class as an additional parameter. We also find new examples of 4-manifolds…
