On compact Riemannian manifolds with a large isometry group we investigate the invariant spectrum of the ordinary Laplacian. For either a toric Kaehler metric, or a rotationally-symmetric metric on the sphere, we produce upper bounds for…
Laudenbach and Sikorav proved that closed, half-dimensional non-Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic manifolds are immediately displaceable as long as there is no topological obstruction. From this they deduced that the $C^0$-limit of a…
A strictly convex real projective orbifold is equipped with a natural Finsler metric called the Hilbert metric. In the case that the projective structure is hyperbolic, the Hilbert metric and the hyperbolic metric coincide. We prove that…
The definition of Linear Symmetry-Based Disentanglement (LSBD) proposed by (Higgins et al., 2018) outlines the properties that should characterize a disentangled representation that captures the symmetries of data. However, it is not clear…
We describe geometrically contact Lagrangian systems under impulsive forces and constraints, as well as instantaneous nonholonomic constraints which are not uniform along the configuration space. In both situations, the vector field…
In this note we study several aspects of coisotropic submanifolds of a contact manifold. In particular we give a structure theorem for the singularity of the characteristic foliation of a coisotropic submanifold. Moreover we establish the…
We study the notion of orderability of isotopy classes of Legendrian submanifolds and their universal covers, with some weaker results concerning spaces of contactomorphisms. Our main result is that orderability is equivalent to the…
A contact stationary Legendrian submanifold of $S^{2n+1}$ is a Legendrian submanifold whose volume is stationary under contact deformations. The simplest contact stationary Legendrian submanifold (actually minimal and Legendrian) is the…
Let $(M,\bar g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with minimal boundary such that the second fundamental form is nowhere vanishing on $\partial M$. We show that for a generic Riemannian metric $\bar g$, the squared norm of the second…
A non-degenerate contact form is lacunary if the indexes of every contractible periodic Reeb orbit have the same parity. To the best of our knowledge, every contact form with finitely many periodic orbits known so far is non-degenerate and…
We present a rigorous mathematical treatment of Ruppeiner geometry, by considering degenerate Hessian metrics defined on radiant manifolds. A manifold $M$ is said to be radiant if it is endowed with a symmetric, flat connection $\bar\nabla$…
We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true…
Two Riemannian manifolds are said to be isospectral if the associated Laplace-Belttrami operators have the same eigenvalue spectrum. If the manifolds have boundary, one specifies DIrichlet or Neumann isospectrality depending on the boundary…
Extending a result of He to the non-integrable case of K-contact manifolds, it is shown that transverse Hermitian scalar curvature may be interpreted as a moment map for the strict contactomorphism group. As a consequence, we may generalize…
Associated to Legendrian links in the standard contact three-space, Ruling polynomials are Legendrian isotopy invariants, which also compute augmentation numbers, that is, the points-counting of augmentation varieties for Legendrian links…
We exhibit the first examples of exotic contactomorphisms with infinite order as elements of the contact mapping class group. These are given by certain Dehn twists on the separating sphere in a connected sum of two closed contact…
We apply spectral sequences to derive both an obstruction to the existence of $n$-fold prolongations and a topological classification. Prolongations have been used in the literature in an attempt to prove that every Engel structure on…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
We consider some two-dimensional birational transformations. One of them is a birational deformation of the H\'enon map. For some of these birational mappings, the post critical set (i.e. the iterates of the critical set) is infinite and we…
In this paper, we determine the group of contact transformations modulo contact isotopies for Legendrian circle bundles over closed surfaces of nonpositive Euler characteristic. These results extend and correct those presented by the first…
