A Personal Tour Through Symplectic Topology and Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
(i) Gromov’s Compactness Theorem for pseudo-holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds ([23]) and the topology of symplectomorphism groups of rational ruled surfaces (sections 2 and 3, references [1, 2]). (ii) Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternberg’s Convexity Theorem for the moment map of Hamiltonian torus actions ([9, 25]) and Kähler geometry of toric orbifolds in symplectic coordinates (sections 4 and 5, references [3, 4, 5]). (iii) Donaldson’s moment map framework for the action of the symplectomorphism group on the space of compatible almost complex structures ([17]) and the topology of the space of compatible integrable complex structures of a rational ruled surface (sections 6 and 7, references [6, 7]).

Personal Statement
In this personal statement, I give a non-technical description of my research. I only cite my own papers, numbering them as they appear on my CV. This non-technical description mostly discusses my work in symplectic geometry, but also some recent work in string topology. In the separate self-contained research statement, I provide a technical description of the research. In the research stateme...
متن کاملThe Fukaya category of symplectic neighborhood of a non-Hausdorff manifold
§1.1 Background: Symplectic geometry (topology) is one of the fastest growing branch of geometry (topology) that exhibits both the characteristics of geometry and topology. Most of the new developments start with the well known fact that for any symplectic manifold (M,ω), there exists a compatible almost complex structure J on M (usually not integrable) that gives rise to the natural almost Käh...
متن کاملBasic Riemannian Geometry and Sobolev Estimates used in Symplectic Topology
This note collects a number of standard statements in Riemannian geometry and in Sobolevspace theory that play a prominent role in analytic approaches to symplectic topology. These include relations between connections and complex structures, estimates on exponential-like maps, and dependence of constants in Sobolev and elliptic estimates.
متن کاملSymplectic Convexity in Low Dimensional Topology
In this paper we will survey the the various forms of convexity in symplectic geometry, paying particular attention to applications of convexity in low dimensional topology.
متن کاملGeometry of curves and surfaces through the contact map
We introduce a new approach to the study of affine equidistants and centre symmetry sets via a family of maps obtained by reflexion in the midpoints of chords of a submanifold of affine space. We apply this to surfaces in R, previously studied by Giblin and Zakalyukin, and then apply the same ideas to surfaces in R, elucidating some of the connexions between their geometry and the family of ref...
