Study on deformations of special Lagrangians with boundary in Calabi-Yau manifolds.

We consider Lagrangian-like submanifolds in certain even-dimensional 'symplectic-like' Poisson manifolds. We show, under suitable transversality hypotheses, that the pair consisting of the ambient Poisson manifold and the submanifold has unobstructed deformations and that the deformations automatically preserve the Lag…

Proves conditions for nearby special Lagrangians in Calabi-Yau manifolds.

In this paper, we 'construct' a 2-functor from the unobstructed immersed Weinstein category to the category of all filtered $A_{\infty}$ categories. We consider arbitrary (compact) symplectic manifolds and its arbitrary (relatively spin) immersed Lagrangian submanifolds. The filtered $A_{\infty}$ category associated to…

We construct an algebraic version of Lagrangian Floer homology for immersed curves inside the pillowcase. We first associate to the pillowcase an algebra A. Then to an immersed curve L inside the pillowcase we associate an A infinity module M(L) over A. Then we prove that Lagrangian Floer homology HF(L,L') is isomorphi…

This is a mixture of survey article and research anouncement. We discuss Instanton Floer homology for 3 manifolds with boundary. We also discuss a categorification of the Lagrangian Floer theory using the unobstructed immersed Lagrangian correspondence as a morphism in the category of symplectic manifolds. During the y…

In this paper, we study obstructed and unobstructed (holomorphic) Poisson deformations with classical examples in deformation theory.

Coassociative 4-folds are a particular class of 4-dimensional submanifolds which are defined in a 7-dimensional manifold M with a G_2 structure given by a `positive' differential 3-form, sometimes called G_2-form. Assuming that a G_2-form on M is closed, we study deformations of a compact coassociative submanifold N wi…

Let (M,w) be a compact symplectic manifold, and L a compact, embedded Lagrangian submanifold in M. Fukaya, Oh, Ohta and Ono construct Lagrangian Floer cohomology for such M,L, yielding groups HF^*(L,b;Λ) for one Lagrangian or HF^*((L,b),(L',b');Λ) for two, where b,b' are choices of bounding cochains, and exist if and o…

We shall introduce the notion of $C^\infty$ logarithmic symplectic structures on a differentiable manifold which is an analog of the one of logarithmic symplectic structures in the holomorphic category. We show that the generalized complex structure induced by a $C^\infty$ logarithmic symplectic structure has unobstruc…

The article provides conditions for unobstructedness of ASD manifolds.

Let M be a closed symplectic manifold of volume V. We say that the symplectic packings of M by ellipsoids are unobstructed if any collection of disjoint symplectic ellipsoids (possibly of different sizes) of total volume less than V admits a symplectic embedding to M. We show that the symplectic packings by ellipsoids …

Construct a Hermitian metric on non-Hermitian Yang--Mills moduli spaces near the Hermitian locus.

Let M be a closed symplectic manifold of volume V. We say that M admits an unobstructed symplectic packing by balls if any collection of symplectic balls (of possibly different radii) of total volume less than V admits a symplectic embedding to M. In 1994 McDuff and Polterovich proved that symplectic packings of Kahler…

We introduce K-deformations of generalized complex structures on a compact Kahler manifold $M=(X, J)$ with an effective anti-canonical divisor and show that obstructions to K-deformations of generalized complex structures on $M$ always vanish. Applying the stability theorem of generalized Kahler structures, together wi…

We prove unobstructed deformations for compact Kaehlerian even-dimensional Poisson manifolds whose Poisson tensor degenerates along a divisor with mild singularities. Examples include Hilbert schemes of del Pezzo surfaces.

Associative submanifolds $A$ in nearly parallel $G_2$-manifolds $Y$ are minimal 3-submanifolds in spin 7-manifolds with a real Killing spinor. The Riemannian cone over $Y$ has the holonomy group contained in ${\rm Spin(7)}$ and the Riemannian cone over $A$ is a Cayley submanifold. Infinitesimal deformations of associat…

Using earlier work of Sá Earp and the author [SEW13] we construct an irreducible unobstructed $G_2$-instanton on an $\mathrm{SO}(3)$-bundle over a twisted connected sum recently discovered by Crowley-Nordström [CN14].

Study canonical deformations of complex forms and their cohomology properties.

In this paper we will introduce a new notion of geometric structures defined by systems of closed differential forms in term of the Clifford algebra of the direct sum of the tangent bundle and the cotangent bundle on a manifold. We develop a unified approach of a deformation problem and establish a criterion of unobstr…

We prove that the bihamiltonian cohomology of a semisimple pencil of Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type vanishes for almost all degrees. This implies the existence of a full dispersive deformation of a semisimple bihamiltonian structure of hydrodynamic type starting from any infinitesimal deformation.

We develop the deformation theory of instantons on asymptotically conical $G_2$-manifolds, where an asymptotic connection at infinity is fixed. A spinorial approach is adopted to relate the space of deformations to the kernel of a twisted Dirac operator on the $G_2$-manifold and to the eigenvalues of a twisted Dirac op…

Study the structure of Kuranishi spaces for pairs of Kähler manifolds and polystable Higgs bundles.

We prove an analog of the Tian-Todorov theorem for twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds; namely, we show that the moduli space of generalized complex structures on a compact twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifold is unobstructed and smooth. We also construct the extended moduli space and study its Frobenius struct…

We shall obtain unobstructed deformations of four geometric structures: Calabi-Yau, HyperKähler, $\G$ and Spin(7) structures in terms of closed differential forms (calibrations). We develop a direct and unified construction of smooth moduli spaces of these four geometric structures and show that the local Torelli type …

We develop deformation theory for abelian invariant complex structures on a nilmanifold, and prove that in this case the invariance property is preserved by the Kuranishi process. A purely algebraic condition characterizes the deformations leading again to abelian structures, and we prove that such deformations are uno…

Study on deformations of $(p,q)$-forms and spectral sequence degenerations.

We shall develop a new deformation theory of geometric structures in terms of closed differential forms. This theory is a generalization of Kodaira -Spencer theory and further we obtain a criterion of unobstructed deformations. We apply this theory to certain geometric structures: Calabi-Yau, HyperKähler, $\G$ and $\Sp…

Unlike Legendrian submanifolds, the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds can be obstructed. Starting from this observation, we single out in the contact setting the special class of integral coisotropic submanifolds as the direct generalization of Legendrian submanifolds for what concerns deformation and mod…

In this paper, we solve a logarithmic $\bar{\partial}$-equation on a compact Kähler manifold associated to a smooth divisor by using the cyclic covering trick. As applications, we discuss the closedness of logarithmic forms, injectivity theorems and obtain a kind of degeneration of spectral sequence at $E_1$, and we al…

Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with a non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structure. Then there exist deformations of non-trivial generalized Kahler structures with one pure spinor on X. We prove that every Poisson submanifold of X is a generalized Kahler submanifold with respect to the deformed generalized Kahler stru…

In this paper, we prove several formulas related to Hodge theory, and using them to prove the deformations of a compact $H$-twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifold are unobstructed and $L^2$ convergence in a neighborhood in another power series . And if we assume that the deformation is smooth in a fixed neighborhood, …

Desingularizes conically singular Cayley submanifolds.

As shown by Gromov-Lawson and Stolz the only obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on closed simply connected manifolds in dimensions at least five appears on spin manifolds and is given by the non-vanishing of the $α$-genus of Hitchin. When unobstructed we shall realize a positive scalar cu…

In this paper we study the deformation theory of submanifolds characterized by a system of differential forms and provide a criterion for deformations of such submanifolds to be unobstructed. We apply this deformation theory to special Legendrian submanifolds in Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. In general, special Legendrian…

On any given compact (n+1)-manifold M with non-empty boundary, it is proved that the moduli space of Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold under a mild condition on the fundamental group. Thus, the Einstein moduli space is unobstructed. The Dirichlet and Neumann boundary maps to data o…

We study the problem of desingularizing coassociative conical singularities via gluing, allowing for topological and analytic obstructions, and discuss applications. This extends the author's earlier work on the unobstructed case. We interpret the analytic obstructions geometrically via the obstruction theory for defor…

In this paper, we establish a deformation theory for Dolbeault cohomology classes valued in holomorphic tensor bundles. We prove the extension equation which will play the role of Maurer-Cartan equation. Following the classical theory of Kodaira-Spencer-Kuranishi, we construct a canonical complete family of deformation…

In this paper, we study the Lagrangian F-stability of closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers immersed in complex Euclidean space. We show that any closed Lagrangian self-shrinker with first Betti number greater than one is Lagrangian F-unstable. In particular, any two-dimensional embedded closed Lagrangian self-shrinker is L…
