Let I be an open interval, M be a real manifold, T*M its cotangent bundle and \Phi={\phi_t}, t in I, a homogeneous Hamiltonian isotopy of T*M defined outside the zero-section. Let \Lambda be the conic Lagrangian submanifold associated with…

Emmanuel Giroux showed that every contact structure on a closed three dimensional manifold is supported by an open book decomposition. We will extend this result by showing that the open book decomposition can be chosen in such a way that…

We use the quilt formalism of Mau-Wehrheim-Woodward to give a sufficient condition for a finite collection of Lagrangian submanifolds to split-generate the Fukaya category, and deduce homological mirror symmetry for the standard 4-torus. As…

We prove that every strong symplectic filling of a planar contact manifold admits a symplectic Lefschetz fibration over the disk, and every strong filling of the 3-torus similarly admits a Lefschetz fibration over the annulus. It follows…

We establish a long exact sequence for Legendrian submanifolds L in P x R, where P is an exact symplectic manifold, which admit a Hamiltonian isotopy that displaces the projection of L off of itself. In this sequence, the singular homology…

The present authors introduced the notion of \emph{weakly unobstructed} Lagrangian submanifolds and constructed their \emph{potential function} $\mathfrak{PO}$ purely in terms of $A$-model data in [FOOO2]. In this paper, we carry out…

We determine the closed, oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds which carry positive tight contact structures. Our main tool is a new non-vanishing criterion for the contact Ozsvath-Szabo invariant.

The systolic ratio of a contact form $\alpha$ on the three-sphere is the quantity \[ \rho_{\mathrm{sys}}(\alpha) = \frac{T_{\min}(\alpha)^2}{\mathrm{vol}(S^3,\alpha\wedge d\alpha)}, \] where $T_{\min}(\alpha)$ is the minimal period of…

Given an augmentation for a Legendrian surface in a $1$-jet space, $\Lambda \subset J^1(M)$, we explicitly construct an object, $\mathcal{F} \in Sh_{\Lambda}$, of the (derived) category from arXiv:1402.0490 of constructible sheaves on…

The argument shift method is a well-known method for generating commutative families of functions in Poisson algebras from central elements and a vector field, verifying a special condition with respect to the Poisson bracket. In this…

We use persistence modules and their corresponding barcodes to quantitatively distinguish between different fiberwise star-shaped domains in the cotangent bundle of a fixed manifold. The distance between two fiberwise star-shaped domains is…

Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…

In this article we show that in any dimension there exist infinitely many pairs of formally contact isotopic isocontact embeddings into the standard contact sphere which are not contact isotopic. This is the first example of rigidity for…

We construct a dynamically convex contact form on the three-sphere whose systolic ratio is arbitrarily close to 2. This example is related to a conjecture of Viterbo, whose validity would imply that the systolic ratio of a convex contact…

This article studies the symplectic cohomology of affine algebraic surfaces that admit a compactification by a normal crossings anticanonical divisor. Using a toroidal structure near the compactification divisor, we describe the complex…

Floer invented his theory in the mid eighties in order to prove the Arnol'd conjectures on the number of fixed point of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms and Lagrangian intersections. Over the last thirty years, many versions of Floer homology…

We show how Rabinowitz Floer homology can be seen as a standard Floer homology for fixed period Hamiltonian orbits on an extended phase space.

Answering a question of Witten, we introduce a novel method for defining an integral version of Lagrangian Floer homology, removing the standard restriction that the Lagrangians in question must be relatively Pin. Using this technique, we…

Tichler proved that a manifold admitting a smooth closed one-form fibers over a circle. More generally a manifold admitting $k$ independent closed one-forms fibers over a torus $T^k$. In this article we explain a version of this…

We show that a Bott-Morse foliation in dimension 3 admits a linear, singular, Poisson structure of rank 2 with Bott-Morse singularities. We provide the Poisson bivectors for each type of singular component, and compute the symplectic forms…
