Abstract

M. Brion proved a convexity result for the moment map image of an irreducible subvariety of a compact integral Kaehler manifold preserved by the complexification of the Hamiltonian group action. V. Guillemin and R. Sjamaar generalized this result to irreducible subvarieties preserved only by a Borel subgroup. In another direction, L. O'Shea and R. Sjamaar proved a convexity result for the moment map image of the submanifold fixed by an antisymplectic involution. Analogous to Guillemin and Sjamaar's generalization of Brion's theorem, in this paper we generalize O'Shea and Sjamaar's result, proving a convexity theorem for the moment map image of the involution fixed set of an irreducible subvariety preserved by a Borel subgroup.

Closed-open morphisms on periodic Floer homology

In this note, we investigate homomorphisms from the periodic Floer homology (PFH) to the quantitative Heegaard Floer homology. We call the homomorphisms closed-open morphisms. Under certain assumptions on the Lagrangian link, we first follow R. Lipshitz's idea to give a cylindrical formulation of the quantitative Heegaard Floer homology. Then we construct the closed-open morphisms from the PFH to the quantitative Heegaard Floer homology. Moreover, we show that the morphisms are non-vanishing. As an application, we deduce a relation between the PFH-spectral invariants and the HF-spectral invariants.

Exact orbifold fillings of contact manifolds

We study exact orbifold fillings of contact manifolds using Floer theories. Motivated by Chen-Ruan's orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants, we define symplectic cohomology of an exact orbifold filling as a group using classical techniques, i.e. choosing generic almost complex structures. By studying moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic/Floer curves in orbifolds, we obtain various non-existence, restrictions and uniqueness results for orbifold singularities of exact orbifold fillings of many contact manifolds. For example, we show that exact orbifold fillings of $(\mathbb{RP}^{2n-1},ξ_{\mathrm{std}})$ always have exactly one singularity modeled on $\mathbb{C}^n/(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ if $n\ne 2^k$. Lastly, we show that in dimension at least $3$ there are pairs of contact manifolds without exact cobordisms in either direction, and that the same holds for exact orbifold cobordisms in dimension at least $5$.

Non-unital monoidal category of contact manifolds and Legendrian correspondence

There are two purposes of the present paper which are interrelated. The first goal is to construct the structure of a non-unital monoidal category $\mathfrak{Cont}$ of contact manifolds, not necessarily coorientable, by developing the contact topology \emph{without contact forms}. The non-unital monoidal product is the functorial contact product $\star$, called star product, introduced in \cite{oh:shelukhin-conjecture}. We prove that the product $\star$ is associative and there exist a collection $α= \{α_{X,Y,Z}\}$ of the \emph{associator} isomorphisms $α_{X,Y,Z}: X \star (Y\star Z) \cong (X \star Y) \star Z$ for $X, \, Y, \, Z \in \mathfrak{Cont}$, that satisfy the pentagon axiom, i.e., that the triples $(\mathfrak{Cont}, \star, α)$ form a nonunital monoidal category. The second goal is to develop the calculus of Legendrian correspondences, which are by definition embedded Legendrian submanifolds of the contact product $Q \star Q'$. Legendrian correspondences will play the role of 1-morphisms in the $2$-categorical structure to be equipped with $\mathfrak{Cont}$ whose two morphisms are contact instanton cohomologies $HI(R_{ab},R'_{ab})$ associated to a pair of Legendrian correspondences $R_{ab}, \, R'_{ab} \in \mathfrak{Leg}(Q_a,Q_b)$. With this future application in mind, we define the composition of Legendrian correspondences and prove that the composition of a generic pair is again embedded and hence canonically becomes a Legendrian correspondence.
