Answering a conjecture by S. Kobayashi, in 1986, K. Sekigawa and L. Vanhecke proved that an almost hermitian manifold whose local geodesic symmetries preserve the K\"ahler 2-form is a locally symmetric hermitian space. In the present paper,…

We give four constructions of non-$\partial\bar\partial$ (hence non-K\"ahler) manifolds: (1) A simply connected page-$1$-$\partial\bar\partial$-manifold (2) A simply connected $dd^c+3$-manifold (3) For any $r\geq 2$, a simply connected…

We consider symplectic Floer homology in the lowest nontrivial dimension, that is to say, for area-preserving diffeomorphisms of surfaces. Particular attention is paid to the quantum cap product; we show that it distinguishes the trivial…

In this paper, we study the Chern-Hamilton energy functional on compact cosymplectic manifolds, fully classifying in dimension 3 those manifolds admitting a critical compatible metric for this functional. This is the case if and only if…

We consider generalizations of symplectic manifolds called n-plectic manifolds. A manifold is n-plectic if it is equipped with a closed, nondegenerate form of degree n+1. We show that higher structures arise on these manifolds which can be…

We show that many spin 6-manifolds have the homotopy type but not the homeomorphism type of a Kaehler manifold. Moreover, for given Betti numbers, there are only finitely many deformation types and hence topological types of smooth complex…

The standard (Berezin-Toeplitz) geometric quantization of a compact Kaehler manifold is restricted by integrality conditions. These restrictions can be circumvented by passing to the universal covering space, provided that the lift of the…

Based on the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups $H_{EL}^{(2k-1)}({\cal M}^{2n}) (1 \leqslant k\leqslant n)$ on symplectic manifold $({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega)$, their properties and a kind of classification of vector fields on the manifold, we…

We prove the vanishing of the first Chern class of a codimension 2 closed contact submanifold of a cooriented contact manifold with trivial integral 2-dimensional cohomology group. Hence the first Chern class is an obstruction for the…

For a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure), we construct a sequence consisting of differential operators using a symplectic torsion-free affine connection. All but…

We prove that all complex analytic subvarieties of a generic compact hyperkaehler manifold are even-dimensional. Moreover, these subvarieties are holomorphically symplectic.

We show that the almost complex structure underlying a non-Kahler, nearly Kahler 6-manifold (in particular, the standard almost complex structure of S^6) cannot be compatible with any symplectic form, even locally.

This note is devoted to the study of the homology class of a compact Poisson transversal in a Poisson manifold. For specific classes of Poisson structures, such as unimodular Poisson structures and Poisson manifolds with closed leaves, we…

We study hyperbolic cohomology classes in the general context of simplicial complexes and prove homological invariance statements for them. We relate the existence of hyperbolic cohomology classes to the non-amenability of the fundamental…

We provide new families of compact complex manifolds with no K\"ahler structure carrying symplectic structures satisfying the \textit{Hard Lefschetz Condition}. These examples are obtained as compact quotients of the solvable Lie group…

We introduce the notion of a manifold admitting a simple compact Cartan 3-form $\om^3$. We study algebraic types of such manifolds specializing on those having skew-symmetric torsion, or those associated with a closed or coclosed 3-form…

We introduce cosymplectic circles and cosymplectic spheres, which are the analogues in the cosymplectic setting of contact circles and contact spheres. We provide a complete classification of compact 3-manifolds that admit a cosymplectic…

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 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 a previous paper, we obtained a cohomological obstruction to the existence of compact manifolds locally modelled on a homogeneous space. In this paper, we give a classification of the semisimple symmetric spaces to which this obstruction…
