We define a cocycle on the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold and investigate its properties. The main applications are concerned with symplectic actions of discrete groups. For example, we give an alternative…

We study the ergodic properties (recurrence, discrepancy, diffusion coefficients and ergodicity itself) of a class of $\mathbb Z$-extensions over infinite interval exchange transformations called rotated odometers. The choice of a…

Stefan M$\ddot{\mathrm{u}}$ller posed the problem "Do Hofer's metrics on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism and the one of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms (Hameomorphisms) correspond?". Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact exact symplectic…

Given a topological group G, its orbit category Orb_G has the transitive G-spaces G/H as objects and the G-equivariant maps between them as morphisms. A well known theorem of Elmendorf then states that the category of G-spaces and the…

We show that Lupercio-Uribe-Xicot\'{e}ncatl's orbifold loop product and coproduct can be described by a group cohomology class in some cases. By computing this cohomology class, we show that in some cases the orbifold loop product is…

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…

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…

In symplectic geometry, Floer theory is the most important tool to prove the existence of time-periodic solutions in Hamiltonian mechanics. The core observation is that the $L^2$-gradient lines of the symplectic action functional are…

We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions…

For a large class of toric domains in $\mathbb{R}^4$ we determine which product Lagrangian tori can be mapped into the domain by a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. In other words, we compute the Hamiltonian shape invariant of these toric…

Homotopy type theory is a logical setting based on Martin-L\"of type theory in which geometric constructions and proofs can be carried out synthetically. Here, types can be interpreted as spaces up to homotopy, and proofs as…

Let $(S,\omega)$ be a closed connected oriented surface whose genus $l$ is at least two equipped with a symplectic form. Then we show the vanishing of the cup product of the fluxes of commuting symplectomorphisms. This result may be…

We lift a Hamiltonian loop on a symplectic manifold to a Hamiltonian loop on the symplectic one-point blow up of a symplectic manifold. Then we use Weinstein's morphism to show that the lifted Hamiltonian loop has infinite order on the…
