We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a ruled symplectic four-manifold. If $(M, \omega)$ is rational, then every homologically trivial symplectic cyclic action on $(M,\omega)$ is the restriction of a Hamiltonian circle action.

We show that recent results of Friedl-Vidussi and Chen imply that a symplectic manifold admits a fixed point free circle action if and only if it admits a symplectic circle action and we give a complete description of the symplectic cone in…

We consider the spectral action within the context of a 4-dimensional manifold with torsion and show that, in the vacuum case, the equations of motion reduce to Einstein's equations, securing the linear stability of the theory. To…

This note describes some recent results about the homotopy properties of Hamiltonian loops in various manifolds, including toric manifolds and one point blow ups. We describe conditions under which a circle action does not contract in the…

We exhibit many examples of closed symplectic manifolds on which there is an autonomous Hamiltonian whose associated flow has no nonconstant periodic orbits (the only previous explicit example in the literature was the torus T^2n (n\geq 2)…

It is shown that a self-dual neutral Einstein four-manifold of Petrov type III, admitting a two-dimensional null parallel distribution compatible with the orientation, cannot be compact or locally homogeneous, and its maximum possible…

It is known that a limit $(M^n_j,g_j)\to (X^k,d)$ of manifolds $M_j$ with uniform lower bounds on Ricci curvature must be $k$-rectifiable for some unique $\dim X:= k\leq n = \dim M_j$. It is also known that if $k=n$, then $X^n$ is a…

We prove that, from an Einstein manifold of dimension greater than or equal to five, there are just two types of harmonic morphism with one-dimensional fibres. This generalizes a result of R.L. Bryant who obtained the same conclusion under…

In this paper we consider symplectic 4-manifolds $(M,\omega)$ with $c_1(M,\omega)=0$ which admit a Hamiltonian $S^1$-action together with an equivariant Maslov condition on orbits of the group action. We call such spaces {\em special…

Let $X_0$ denote a compact, simply-connected smooth $4$-manifold with boundary the Poincar\'e homology $3$-sphere $\Sigma(2,3,5)$ and with even negative definite intersection form $Q_{X_0}=E_8$. We show that free $\mathbb{Z}/p$ actions on…

In this article, we provide an exposition about symplectic toric manifolds, which are symplectic manifolds $(M^{2n}, \omega)$ equipped with an effective Hamiltonian $\mathbb{T}^n\cong (S^1)^n$-action. We summarize the construction of $M$ as…

It is well-known by the work of Hsiang and Kleiner that every closed oriented positively curved 4-dimensional manifold with an effective isometric S^1-action is homeomorphic to S^4 or CP^2. As stated, it is a topological classification. The…

We show that for a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_{\phi} \R^{m}$ with a semisimple action $\phi$ which has a cocompact discrete subgroup $\Gamma$, the solvmanifold $G/\Gamma$ admits a canonical invariant formal (i.e. all products of harmonic…

This paper contains some more results on the topology of a nondegenerate action of $\mathbb{R}^n$ on a compact connected $n$-manifold $M$ when the action is totally hyperbolic (i.e. its toric degree is zero). We study the…

Let $\rho_0$ be an action of a Lie group on a manifold with boundary that is transitive on the interior. We study the set of actions that are topologically conjugate to $\rho_0$, up to smooth or analytic change of coordinates. We show that…

We study the problem of determining which diffeomorphism classes of K\"{a}hler manifolds admit a Hamiltonian circle action. Our main result is the following: Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold, diffeomorphic to a complete intersection…

We construct infinite families of non-simply connected locally conformally flat (LCF) 4-manifolds realizing rich topological types. These manifolds have strictly negative scalar curvature and the underlying topological 4-manifolds do not…

Let $M$ be a connected 1-manifold, i.e., $M = \R \cong (0, 1), [0, 1), [0, 1]$, or $S^1$, and let $\Homeo_+(M)$ (resp. $\Diff_+^1(M)$) be the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms (resp. $C^1$ diffeomorphisms) of $M$. It is a…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of maximal actions of compact tori on smooth manifolds and study compact connected complex manifolds equipped with maximal actions of compact tori. We give a complete classification of such manifolds,…
