Proof confirms Hamiltonian isotopy of submanifolds.

We construct counterexamples to lifting properties of Hamiltonian and contact isotopies.

The paper introduces a geometric flow for Lagrangian submanifolds that preserves Hamiltonian isotopy.

We establish the uniqueness up to Hamiltonian isotopy of the Lagrangian spheres in some four dimensional Stein manifolds.

We prove that a topological contact isotopy uniquely defines a topological contact Hamiltonian. Combined with previous results from [MS11], this generalizes the classical one-to-one correspondence between smooth contact isotopies and their generating smooth contact Hamiltonians and conformal factors to the group of top…

Paper studies Lagrangian submanifolds and their homological monodromy.

The paper studies co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on compact cosymplectic manifolds.

We generalize the "hamiltonian topology" on hamiltonian isotopies to an intrinsic "symplectic topology" on the space of symplectic isotopies. We use it to define the group $SSympeo(M,ω)$ of strong symplectic homeomorphisms, which generalizes the group $Hameo(M,ω)$ of hamiltonian homeomorphisms introduced by Oh and Mull…

We define new Hamiltonian isotopy invariants for a monotone Lagrangian torus embedded in a symplectic 4-manifold. We show that, in the standard symplectic 4-space, these invariants distinguish a monotone Clifford torus from a Chekanov torus.

All principal orbits of the standard Hamiltonian $T^n$-action on the complex projective space ${\mathbb C}P^n$ are Lagrangian tori.In this article, we prove that most of them are not volume minimizing under Hamiltonian isotopies of ${\mathbb C}P^n$ if the complex dimension $n$ is greater than two, although they are Ham…

Study of Lagrangian submanifolds with Riemannian bounds and their metric properties.

Study on singularities of Lagrangian immersions with applications in Floer theory.

We prove that the number of Reeb chords between a Legendrian submanifold and its contact Hamiltonian push-off is at least the sum of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-Betti numbers of the submanifold, provided that the contact isotopy is sufficiently small when compared to the smallest Reeb chord on the Legendrian. Moreover, the esta…

In 1993, Y.-G. Oh proposed a problem whether standard Lagrangian tori in C^n are volume minimizing under Hamiltonian isotopies of C^n. In this article, we prove that most of them do not have such property if the dimension n is greater than two. We also discuss the existence of Hamiltonian non-volume minimizing Lagrangi…

Real Lagrangian tori in $S^2 imes S^2$ are Hamiltonian isotopic to the Clifford torus.

Let (Σ, ω) be a compact Riemann surface with constant curvature c. In this work, we proved that the mean curvature flow of a given Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on Σ provides a smooth path in Ham(Σ), the group of all Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of Σ. This result gives a proof, in the case of graph of Hamiltonian diffeomor…

Anti-symplectic involutions connect a sphere in a symplectic surface.

Symplectic structure found on projective structures on surfaces with boundary.

This is the first part of an article in two parts, which builds the foundation of a Floer-theoretic invariant, (I_F). (See math.DG/0505013 for part II). The Floer homology can be trivial in many variants of the Floer theory; it is therefore interesting to consider more refined invariants of the Floer complex. We consid…

This paper explores twisted Lagrangian tori in C^2 and their Hamiltonian stationarity.

We study the role that Hamiltonian and symplectic diffeomorphisms play in the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds. We prove that the action by Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms corresponds to the gauge-action of the $L_\infty$-algebra of Oh and Park. Moreover we introduce the notion of extended gauge-equivalence …

We prove that a real Lagrangian submanifold in a closed symplectic manifold is unique up to cobordism. We then discuss the classification of real Lagrangians in $\mathbb{C} P^2$ and $S^2\times S^2$. In particular, we show that a real Lagrangian in $\mathbb{C} P^2$ is unique up to Hamiltonian isotopy and that a real Lag…

The paper discusses the impossibility of eliminating surplus intersections in Lagrangian submanifolds.

We prove a version of the Arnol'd conjecture for Lagrangian submanifolds of conformal symplectic manifolds: a Lagrangian $L$ which has non-zero Morse-Novikov homology for the restriction of the Lee form $β$ cannot be disjoined from itself by a $C^0$-small Hamiltonian isotopy. Furthermore for generic such isotopies the …

Given any embedded Lagrangian on a four dimensional compact Calabi-Yau, we find another Lagrangian in the same Hamiltonian isotopy class which develops a finite time singularity under mean curvature flow. This contradicts a weaker version of the Thomas-Yau conjecture regarding long time existence and convergence of Lag…

Classifies toric fibers in $S^2 imes S^2$.

Study Markov staircases in symplectic embeddings of rational homology ellipsoids.

We establish a full $h-$principle ($C^0-$close, relative, parametric) for the simplification of singularities of Lagrangian and Legendrian fronts. More precisely, we prove that if there is no homotopy theoretic obstruction to simplifying the singularities of tangency of a Lagrangian or Legendrian submanifold with respe…

The paper connects different types of Lagrangian fillings to Legendrian weaves and their sheaf quantizations.

Nearby pinwheels are isotopic, solving Arnold's conjecture.

We give a construction of the Floer homology of the pair of {\it non-compact} Lagrangian submanifolds, which satisfies natural continuity property under the Hamiltonian isotopy which moves the infinity but leaves the intersection set of the pair compact. This construction uses the concept of Lagrangian cobordism and ce…

The abstract discusses special Lagrangians and their flow, proving conjectures and observing related phenomena.

Study of Legendrian links using Floer theory and cluster varieties.

We prove that the group of compactly supported symplectomorphisms of the standard symplectic ball admits a continuum of linearly independent real-valued homogeneous quasimorphisms. In addition these quasimorphisms are Lipschitz in the Hofer metric and have the following property: the value of each such quasimorphism on…

Study symplectic forms on manifolds to find Lagrangian pinwheels that can be separated.

In this paper, we study deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in a locally conformal symplectic manifold. Firstly, we derive the equation that governs $C^\infty$ deformations of coisotropic submanifolds and define the corresponding $C^\infty$-moduli space of coisotropic submanifolds modulo the Hamiltonian isotopies.…

Study shows how tangle moduli spaces relate to boundary surfaces.

We construct an isotopy of a planar compactum that is not the restriction of an isotopy of any planar continuum.

The space of positive Lagrangians in an almost Calabi-Yau manifold is an open set in the space of all Lagrangian submanifolds. A Hamiltonian isotopy class of positive Lagrangians admits a natural Riemannian metric $Υ$, which gives rise to a notion of geodesics. We study geodesics of positive $O_n(\mathbb{R})$ invariant…

A braid-like isotopy for links in 3-space is an isotopy which uses only those Reidemeister moves which occur in isotopies of braids. We define a refined Jones polynomial and its corresponding Khovanov homology which are, in general, only invariant under braid-like isotopies.

New obstructions show some 4-manifold homeomorphisms are pseudo-isotopic but not isotopic.
