An index inequality for embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectizations

Michael Hutchings (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let Σ be a surface with a symplectic form, let φ be a symplectomorphism of Σ , and let Y be the mapping torus of φ . We show that the dimensions of moduli spaces of embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in ℝ × 𝕐 , with cylindrical ends asymptotic to periodic orbits of φ or multiple covers thereof, are bounded from above by an additive relative index. We deduce some compactness results for these moduli spaces. This paper establishes some of the foundations for a program with Michael Thaddeus, to understand...

An inequality for symplectic fillings of the link of a hypersurface K3 singularity

Hiroshi Ohta, Kaoru Ono (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Some relations between normal complex surface singularities and symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities are discussed. For a certain class of singularities of general type, which are called hypersurface K3 singularities in this paper, an inequality for numerical invariants of any minimal symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities is derived. This inequality can be regarded as a symplectic/contact analog of the 11/8-conjecture in 4-dimensional topology.

An introduction to quantum sheaf cohomology

Eric Sharpe (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this note we review “quantum sheaf cohomology,” a deformation of sheaf cohomology that arises in a fashion closely akin to (and sometimes generalizing) ordinary quantum cohomology. Quantum sheaf cohomology arises in the study of (0,2) mirror symmetry, which we review. We then review standard topological field theories and the A/2, B/2 models, in which quantum sheaf cohomology arises, and outline basic definitions and computations. We then discuss (2,2) and (0,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg...

An invariant of nonpositively curved contact manifolds

Thilo Kuessner (2011)

Open Mathematics

We define an invariant of contact structures and foliations (on Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature) which is upper semi-continuous with respect to deformations and thus gives an obstruction to the topology of foliations which can be approximated by isotopies of a given contact structure.

Approximately Einstein ACH metrics, volume renormalization, and an invariant for contact manifolds

Neil Seshadri (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

To any smooth compact manifold M endowed with a contact structure H and partially integrable almost CR structure J , we prove the existence and uniqueness, modulo high-order error terms and diffeomorphism action, of an approximately Einstein ACH (asymptotically complex hyperbolic) metric g on M × ( - 1 , 0 ) . We consider the asymptotic expansion, in powers of a special defining function, of the volume of M × ( - 1 , 0 ) with respect to g and prove that the log term coefficient is independent of J (and any choice of contact...

Aspects of Geometric Quantization Theory in Poisson Geometry

Izu Vaisman (2000)

Banach Center Publications

This is a survey exposition of the results of [14] on the relationship between the geometric quantization of a Poisson manifold, of its symplectic leaves and its symplectic realizations, and of the results of [13] on a certain kind of super-geometric quantization. A general formulation of the geometric quantization problem is given at the beginning.

Associative and Lie deformations of Poisson algebras

Elisabeth Remm (2012)

Communications in Mathematics

Considering a Poisson algebra as a nonassociative algebra satisfying the Markl-Remm identity, we study deformations of Poisson algebras as deformations of this nonassociative algebra. We give a natural interpretation of deformations which preserve the underlying associative structure and of deformations which preserve the underlying Lie algebra and we compare the associated cohomologies with the Poisson cohomology parametrizing the general deformations of Poisson algebras.

Asymptotics for Bergman-Hodge kernels for high powers of complex line bundles

Robert Berman, Johannes Sjöstrand (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

In this paper we obtain the full asymptotic expansion of the Bergman-Hodge kernel associated to a high power of a holomorphic line bundle with non-degenerate curvature. We also explore some relations with asymptotic holomorphic sections on symplectic manifolds.
