We define higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a mathematical theory of sigma model coupled with gravity over any semi-positive symplectic manifolds. As applications, we verify the stablizing conjecture of symplectic…

We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on prime Fano threefolds of index 1. For general threefolds of most genera we compute the dimension and the number of irreducible components of these moduli spaces. Our results confirm Geometric…

We verify that the rational blow-down schemes along certain Seifert fibered 3-manifolds found by the second author, Szabo and Wahl are, in fact, symplectic operations.

In this paper, the symplectic genus for any 2-dimensional class in a 4-manifold admitting a symplectic structure is introduced, and its relation with the minimal genus is studied. It is used to describe which classes in rational and…

In this paper we analyze in detail a collection of motivating examples to consider $b^m$-symplectic forms and folded-type symplectic structures. In particular, we provide models in Celestial Mechanics for every $b^m$-symplectic structure.…

The Darboux theorem in symplectic geometry implies that any two points in a connected symplectic manifold have neighbourhoods symplectomorphic to each other. The impossibility of such a theorem in the more general multisymplectic framework…

We prove that a smooth rationally connected projective threefold of Picard number two is toric if and only if it admits an int-amplified endomorphism. As a corollary, we show that a totally invariant smooth curve of a non-isomorphic…

We construct $S$-linear semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of smooth Fano threefold fibrations $X/S$ with relative Picard rank $1$ and rational geometric fibers and discuss how the structure of components of these…

This paper is a sequel to [arXiv:2403.18389]. We investigate the rationality problem for $\mathbf{Q}$-Fano threefolds of Fano index $\ge 3$.

Previously work of the author with Meier and Starkston showed that every closed symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$ with a rational symplectic form admits a trisection compatible with the symplectic topology. In this paper, we describe the…

In this paper, the technique of foliations in characteristic $p$ is used to investigate the difference between rational connectedness and separable rational connectedness in positive characteristic. The notion of being freely rationally…

By a special symplectic connection we mean a torsion free connection which is either the Levi-Civita connection of a Bochner-K\"ahler metric of arbitrary signature, a Bochner-bi-Lagrangian connection, a connection of Ricci type or a…

We compute the local Gromov-Witten invariants of certain configurations of rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold. These configurations are connected subcurves of the `minimal trivalent configuration', which is a particular tree of P^1's…

We study the birational geometry of a Fano 4-fold X from the point of view of Mori dream spaces; more precisely, we study rational contractions of X. Here a rational contraction is a rational map f: X-->Y, where Y is normal and projective,…

This is the third of a series of papers studying real algebraic threefolds, but the methods are mostly independent from the previous two. Let $f:X\to S$ be a map of a smooth projective real algebraic 3-fold to a surface $S$ whose general…

We consider the existence of symplectic and conformal symplectic codimension-one foliations on closed manifolds of dimension at least 5. Our main theorem, based on a recent result by Bertelson-Meigniez, states that in dimension at least 7…

The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of…

Kollar and Ruan proved symplectic deformation invariance for uniruledness of Kaehler manifolds. Zhiyu Tian proved the same for rational connectedness in dimension < 4. Kollar conjectured this in all dimensions. We prove Kollar's conjecture,…

In the symplectic category there is a `connect sum' operation that glues symplectic manifolds by identifying neighborhoods of embedded codimension two submanifolds. This paper establishes a formula for the Gromov-Witten invariants of a…

We show that an $n$-dimensional compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ admitting a non-degenerate meromorphic map $f:{\bf C}^n\to X$ of order $\rho_f<2$ is rationally connected.
