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…

In this article we study multisymplectic geometry, i.e., the geometry of manifolds with a non-degenerate, closed differential form. First we describe the transition from Lagrangian to Hamiltonian classical field theories, and then we…

Here we study several questions concerning Liouville domains that are diffeomorphic to cylinders, so called trivial bi-fillings, for which the Liouville skeleton moreover is smooth and of codimension one; we also propose the notion of a…

We study the Floer cohomology of the Dehn twist along a real Lagrangian sphere in a symplectic manifold endowed with an anti-symplectic involution. We prove that there exists a distinguished element in the Floer group that is a fixed point…

We consider a family of closed symplectic manifolds 4-manifolds which we call symplectic bielliptic surfaces and study its Lagrangian cobordism group of weakly-exact Lagrangian G-branes (that is, Lagrangians equipped with a grading, a Pin…

In this survey paper, we briefly review various aspects of the SYZ approach to mirror symmetry for non-Calabi-Yau varieties, focusing in particular on Lagrangian fibrations and wall-crossing phenomena in Floer homology. Various examples are…

Under certain topological assumptions, we show that two monotone Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in the standard symplectic vector space with the same monotonicity constant cannot link one another and that, individually, their smooth knot…

In symplectic topology one uses elliptic methods to prove rigidity results about symplectic manifolds and solutions of Hamiltonian equations on them, where the most basic example is given by geodesics on Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps…

Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian knots arise in Symplectic Field Theory and impose an interesting and not well-understood relation on Legendrian knots. There are some known "elementary" building blocks for Lagrangian cobordisms that…

Given a compact Lagrangian $L$ in a semipositive convex-at-infinity symplectic manifold $W$, we establish a cup-length estimate for the action values of $L$ associated to a Hamiltonian isotopy whose spectral norm is smaller than some…

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…

Using a simplified version of Kuranishi perturbation theory that we call semi-global Kuranishi structures, we give a definition of the equivariant Lagrangian Floer cohomology of a pair of Lagrangian submanifolds that are fixed under a…

In this article, we consider the Floer cohomology (with $\Z_2$ coefficients) between torus fibers and the real Lagrangian in Fano toric manifolds. We first investigate the conditions under which the Floer cohomology is defined, and then…

We define a family of symplectic invariants which obstruct exact symplectic embeddings between Liouville manifolds, using the general formalism of linearized contact homology and its L-infinity structure. As our primary application, we…

We show that immersed Lagrangian Floer cohomology in compact rational symplectic manifolds is invariant under Maslov flows such as coupled mean curvature/Kaehler-Ricci flow in the sense of Smoczyk as a pair of self-intersection points is…

Link Floer homology is an invariant for links defined using a suitable version of Lagrangian Floer homology. In an earlier paper, this invariant was given a combinatorial description with mod 2 coefficients. In the present paper, we give a…

We show that any knot which is smoothly the closure of a 3-braid cannot be Lagrangian concordant to and from the maximum Thurston-Bennequin Legendrian unknot except the unknot itself. Our obstruction comes from drawing the Weinstein…
