In this paper we describe a method to establish when a symplectic manifold $M$ with semi-free Hamiltonian $S^{1}$-action is unique up to isomorphism (equivariant symplectomorphism). This will rely on a study of the symplectic topology of…

We present examples of prequantizations over integral symplectic manifolds which admit infinitely many smoothly trivial contact mapping classes. These classes are given by the connected components of the strict contactomorphism group which…

In this article we prove that each integral cycle $T$ in an oriented Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ can be approximated in flat norm by an integral cycle in the same homology class which is a smooth submanifold $\Sigma$ of nearly the…

We investigate spaces of symplectic embeddings of $n\leq 4$ balls into the complex projective plane. We prove that they are homotopy equivalent to explicitly described algebraic subspaces of the configuration spaces of $n$ points. We…

We present reformulation of Mathieu's result on representing cohomology classes of symplectic manifold with symplectically harmonic forms. We apply it to the case of foliated manifolds with transversally symplectic structure and to…

We consider classes of algebraic manifolds $\mathcal{A}$, of symplectic manifolds $\mathcal{S}$, of symplectic manifolds with the hard Lefschetz property $\mathcal{HS}$ and the class of cohomologically symplectic manifolds $\mathcal{CS}$.…

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…

In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic fillings. In particular we show that a (strongly or weakly) semi-fillable contact structure is fillable and any filling embeds as a symplectic domain in a closed symplectic…

We show, in this note, that on any symplectic supermanifold, even or odd, there exist an infinite dimensional affine space of symmetric connections, compatible to the symplectic form.

In the present paper we study the variation of the dimensions $h_k$ of spaces of symplectically harmonic cohomology classes (in the sense of Brylinski) on closed symplectic manifolds. We give a description of such variation for all…

If $(X, \omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, and $\Sigma$ is a smooth symplectic submanifold Poincar\'e dual to a positive multiple of $\omega$, $X \setminus \Sigma$ admits a compactification as a Liouville domain, which we then complete to…

Let $(M,\omega_M)$ be a six dimensional closed monotone symplectic manifold admitting an effective semifree Hamiltonian $S^1$-action. We show that if the minimal (or maximal) fixed component of the action is an isolated point, then…

We study the question of how many embedded symplectic or Lagrangian tori can represent the same homology class in a simply connected symplectic 4-manifold.

In this paper, we prove that for a generic choice of tame (or compatible) almost complex structures $J$ on a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\omega)$ with $n \geq 3$ and with its first Chern class $c_1(M,\omega) = 0$, all somewhere injective…

We show that two orientable, four-dimensional folded symplectic toric manifolds are isomorphic provided that their orbit spaces have trivial degree-two integral cohomology and there exists a diffeomorphism of the orbit spaces (as manifolds…

For any compact connected Lie group $G$, we study the Hamiltonian sum of two compact Hamiltonian group $G$-manifolds $(X^+,\omega^+,\mu^+)$ and $(X^-,\omega^-,\mu^-)$ with a common codimension 2 Hamiltonian submanifold $Z$ of the opposite…

Any nontrivial homomorphism from the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus $g\geq 3$ to $\GL(2g,\C)$ is conjugate to the standard symplectic representation. It is also shown that the mapping class group has no faithful…

We describe the symplectic structure and Hamiltonian dynamics for a class of Grassmannian manifolds. Using the two dimensional sphere ($S^2$) and disc ($D^2$) as illustrative cases, we write their path integral representations using…

The symplectic cone of a closed oriented 4-manifold is the set of cohomology classes represented by symplectic forms. A well-known conjecture describes this cone for every minimal Kaehler surface. We consider the case of the elliptic…

We provide a closed, simply connected, symplectic $6$-manifold having infinitely many codimension $2$ symplectic submanifolds. These are mutually homologous but homotopy inequivalent, and furthermore, they cannot admit complex structures.…
