In this paper, we prove that if the area functional of a surface $\Sigma^2$ in a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\bar{\omega})$ has a critical point or has a compatible stable point in the same cohomology class, then it must be…

We study smooth projective varieties with small dual variety using methods from symplectic topology. We prove the affine parts of such varieties are subcritical, and that the hyperplane class is invertible in their quantum cohomology. We…

We provide an intrinsic description of the notion of modular class for an even symplectic manifold and study its properties in this coordinate free setting.

A Hermitian symplectic manifold is a complex manifold endowed with a symplectic form $\omega$, for which the bilinear form $\omega(I\cdot,\cdot)$ is positive definite. In this work we prove $dd^c$-lemma for 1- and (1,1)-forms for compact…

We introduce certain homology and cohomology subgroups for any almost complex structure and study their pureness, fullness and duality properties. Motivated by a question of Donaldson, we use these groups to relate J-tamed symplectic cones…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

We answer a question of Oprea-Tralle on the realizability of symplectic algebras by symplectic manifolds in dimensions divisible by four, along with a question of Lupton-Oprea in all even dimensions. This will also allow us to address, in…

Homogeneous compatible almost complex structures on symplectic manifolds are studied, focusing on those which are special, meaning that their Chern-Ricci form is a multiple of the symplectic form. Non Chern-Ricci flat ones are proven to be…

This paper shows that there are symplectic four-manifolds M with the following property: a single isotopy class of smooth embedded two-spheres in M contains infinitely many Lagrangian submanifolds, no two of which are isotopic as Lagrangian…

We consider compact connected six dimensional symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian SU(2) or SO(3) actions with cyclic principal stabilizers. We classify such manifolds up to equivariant symplectomorphisms.

In 1940s Steenrod asked if every homology class $z\in H_n(X,\mathbb{Z})$ of every topological space $X$ can be realised by an image of the fundamental class of an oriented closed smooth manifold. Thom found a non-realisable 7-dimensional…

We prove that, for any n, there are simply-connected four-manifolds which admit n-tuples of symplectic forms whose first Chern classes have pairwise different divisibilities in integral cohomology. It follows that the moduli space of…

We show that the fundamental group of every enumeratively rationally connected closed symplectic manifold is finite. In other words, if a closed symplectic manifold has a non-zero Gromov-Witten invariant with two point insertions, then it…

A symplectic form is called hyperbolic if its pull-back to the universal cover is a differential of a bounded one-form. The present paper is concerned with the properties and constructions of manifolds admitting hyperbolic symplectic forms.…

For each member of an infinite family of homology classes in the K3-surface E(2), we construct infinitely many non-isotopic symplectic tori representing this homology class. This family has an infinite subset of primitive classes. We also…

A symplectic toric orbifold is a compact connected orbifold $M$, a symplectic form $\omega$ on $M$, and an effective Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$ on $M$, where the dimension of $T$ is half the dimension of $M$. We prove that there is a…

We study the space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants can be extended to the class of semi-positive manifolds with convex boundary. This…

We show that a closed weakly-monotone symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ which has minimal Chern number greater than or equal to $n+1$ and admits a Hamiltonian toric pseudo-rotation is necessarily monotone and its quantum homology is…

We prove that a compact log symplectic manifold has a class in the second cohomology group whose powers, except maybe for the top, are nontrivial. This result gives cohomological obstructions for the existence of b-log symplectic structures…

Let $(M,\omega,J,g)$ be a non-compact almost K\"ahler manifold. In this paper we provide various criteria that assure that $\omega^k$ induces a non trivial class in the reduced $L^p$ maximal/minimal cohomology of $(M,g)$. Furthermore in the…
