Dynamics of symplectic fluids and point vortices

We present the Hamiltonian formalism for the Euler equation of symplectic fluids, introduce symplectic vorticity, and study related invariants. In particular, this allows one to extend Ebin’s long-time existence result for geodesics on the symplectomorphism group to metrics not necessarily compatible with the symplectic structure. We also study the dynamics of symplectic point vortices, describe their symmetry groups and integrability.     

Deformations of filiform Lie algebras and symplectic structures

We study symplectic structures on filiform Lie algebras, which are niplotent Lie algebras with the maximal length of the descending central sequence. Let g be a symplectic filiform Lie algebra and dim g = 2k ≥ 12. Then g is isomorphic to some ℕ-filtered deformation either of m₀(2k) (defined by the structure relations [e ₁, e _i ] = e _i+1, i = 2,…, 2k − 1) or of V _2k , the quotient of the positive part of the Witt algebra W ₊ by the ideal of elements of degree greater than 2k. We classify ℕ-filtered deformations of V _n : [e _i , e _j ] = (j − i)e _i+1 + Σ _l≥1 c _ij ^l e _i+j+l . For dim g = n ≥ 16, the moduli space ℳ_n of these deformations is the weighted projective space . For even n, the subspace of symplectic Lie algebras is determined by a single linear equation.

Wall crossing for symplectic vortices and quantum cohomology

We derive a wall crossing formula for the symplectic vortex invariants of toric manifolds. As an application, we give a proof of Batyrev's formula for the quantum cohomology of a monotone toric manifold with minimal Chern number at least two.

可允许度量下有限能量辛涡旋的渐近行为献给钱敏教授90华诞

假设(X,ω)是一个具有紧致单连通Lie群G Hamilton作用的紧致光滑辛流形.本文证明只要Riemann面的柱形端口具有一个比标准柱形度量增长速度快的线性度量,那么任何一个有限能量辛涡旋将以指数衰减的速度收敛到辛流形X在正则值辛约化的扭曲分支或非扭曲分支上.本文结果无需假设群G在正则水平集上的作用是自由的.因此,它直接推广了Ziltener在群作用自由的假设下得出的相关结果.本文结果在作者关于量子化Kirwan同态的系列工作中有重要应用.     

Extremal symplectic lattices

We study the Jacobians of the genus 3 Picard and Fermat curves with respect to the problem of maximizing the minimum non-zero norm. We use criteria for symplectic lattices related to the criteria of perfect and eutactic for classical lattices. We show that the Picard curve is a local maximum, but the Fermat curve is not.     

Slanted symplectic quadrangles

By slanting symplectic quadrangles W(F) over fieldsF, we obtain very simple examples of non-classical generalized quadrangles. We determine the collineation groups of these slanted quadrangles and their groups of projectivities. No slanted quadrangle is a topological quadrangle.     

Discontinuous symplectic capacities

We show that the spherical capacity is discontinuous on a smooth family of ellipsoidal shells. Moreover, we prove that the shell capacity is discontinuous on a family of open sets with smooth connected boundaries.     

On symplectic cobordisms

In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic cobordisms. Among other things we show that every contact 3-manifold has infinitely many concave symplectic fillings and that all overtwisted contact 3-manifolds are “symplectic cobordism equivalent”.

Deformations of algebroid stacks

In this paper we consider deformations of an algebroid stack on an étale groupoid. We construct a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) which controls this deformation theory. In the case when the algebroid is a twisted form of functions we show that this DGLA is quasiisomorphic to the twist of the DGLA of Hochschild cochains on the algebra of functions on the groupoid by the characteristic class of the corresponding gerbe.

Deformations of dihedral representations

G. Burde proved (1990) that the representation space of two-bridge knot groups is one-dimensional. The same holds for all torus knot groups. The aim of this note is to prove the following:
Given a knot we denote by its twofold branched covering space. Assume that there is a prime number such that . Then there exist representations of the knot group onto the binary dihedral group and these representations are smooth points on a one-dimensional curve of representations into .
