Toric structures on near-symplectic 4-manifolds

David T. Gay, Margaret Symington (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A near-symplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a closed 2-form that is symplectic away from the 1-dimensional submanifold along which it vanishes and that satisfies a certain transversality condition along this vanishing locus. We investigate near-symplectic 4-manifolds equipped with singular Lagrangian torus fibrations which are locally induced by effective Hamiltonian torus actions. We show how such a structure is completely characterized by a singular integral affine structure on...

On the number of components of the symplectic representatives of the canonical class

Stefano Vidussi (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We show that there exists a family of simply connected, symplectic 4-manifolds such that the (Poincaré dual of the) canonical class admits both connected and disconnected symplectic representatives. This answers a question raised by Fintushel and Stern.

Symplectic embedding of thin discs into a ball

Takeo Nishinou (2004)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We perform symplectic embeddings of ‘thin’ discs into a small ball in arbitrary dimension, using the symplectic folding construction.

Symplectic Killing spinors

Svatopluk Krýsl (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let ( M , ω ) be a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure) and a torsion-free symplectic connection ∇ . Symplectic Killing spinor fields for this structure are sections of the symplectic spinor bundle satisfying a certain first order partial differential equation and they are the main object of this paper. We derive a necessary condition which has to be satisfied by a symplectic Killing spinor field. Using this condition one...
