Consider a Lie group $\mathbb{G}$ with a normal abelian subgroup $\mathbb{A}$. Suppose that $\mathbb{G}$ acts on a Hamiltonian fashion on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. Such action can be restricted to a Hamiltonian action of…

We classify solvable Lie groups admitting left invariant symplectic half-flat structure. When the Lie group has a compact quotient by a lattice, we show that these structures provide solutions of supersymmetric equations of type IIA.

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a transversely symplectic foliation which satisfies the transverse hard Lefschetz property. We establish an equivariant formality theorem and an equivariant symplectic…

We present a new proof of a result due to Taubes: if X is a closed symplectic four-manifold with b_+(X) > 1+b_1(X) and with some positive multiple of the symplectic form a rational class, then the Poincare dual of the canonical class of X…

Let $M$ be complex projective manifold, and $A$ a positive line bundle on it. Assume that a compact and connected Lie group $G$ acts on $M$ in a Hamiltonian manner, and that this action linearizes to $A$. Then there is an associated unitary…

We study the hypersymplectic spaces obtained as quotients of flat hypersymplectic space R^{4d} by the action of a compact Abelian group. These 4n-dimensional quotients carry a multi-Hamilitonian action of an n-torus. The image of the…

Suppose that a Lie group $G$ acts properly on a configuration manifold $Q$. We study the symplectic quotient of $T^*Q$ with respect to the cotangent lifted $G$-action at an arbitrary coadjoint orbit level $\mathcal{O}$. In particular, if…

We show that if a Lie group acts properly on a co-oriented contact manifold preserving the contact structure, then the contact quotient is topologically a stratified space (in the sense that a neighborhood of a point in the quotient is a…

We prove that SL(n,Q) has no nontrivial, C-infinity, volume-preserving action on any compact manifold of dimension strictly less than n. More generally, suppose G is a connected, isotropic, almost-simple algebraic group over Q, such that…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a stratified space, the notion of a Poisson smooth structure and the notion of a weakly symplectic smooth structure on a stratified symplectic space, refining the concept of a…

In the breakthrough paper [V. Mu\~noz, A Smale-Barden manifold admitting K-contact but not Sasakian structure, 2024, 10.4171/JEMS/1496], it is constructed the first example of a simply connected compact 5-manifold (aka.\ Smale-Barden…

We describe a reduction process for symplectic principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundles in the presence of a momentum map. This type of structures plays an important role in the geometric formulation of non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems. We apply…

In this article we study proper symplectic and iso-symplectic embeddings of $4$--manifolds in $6$--manifolds. We show that a closed orientable smooth $4$--manifold admitting a Lefschetz fibration over $\C P^1$ admits a symplectic embedding…

We construct symplectic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds with contact border. The boundary of such submanifolds is shown to be a contact submanifold of the contact border. We also give a topological characterization of the constructed…

In this paper we classify symplectic Lefschetz fibrations (with empty base locus) on a four-manifold which is the product of a three-manifold with a circle. This result provides further evidence in support of the following conjecture…

We study the action of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact symplectic manifold ($X,\omega$) on $C^\infty(X)$ and on functions $C^\infty(X)\to \mathbb R$. We describe various properties of invariant convex functions on $C^\infty(X)$.…

We investigate the existence of homotopy comoment maps (comoments) for high-dimensional spheres seen as multisymplectic manifolds. Especially, we solve the existence problem for compact effective group actions on spheres and provide…

Consider a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ with a Hamiltionan circle action. Then there are at least $n+1$ fixed points. Motivated by recent works on the case that the fixed point set consists of precisely $n+1$ isolated…

We describe a simplification of Donaldson's arguments for the construction of symplectic hypersurfaces or Lefschetz pencils that makes it possible to avoid any reference to Yomdin's work on the complexity of real algebraic sets.

Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and (\Sigma,\sigma) a closed connected symplectic 2-manifold. We construct a weakly symplectic form {\omega^{D}}_{(\Sigma, \sigma)} on the space of immersions \Sigma \to M that is a special case of…
