Complex of twistor operators in symplectic spin geometry

Abstract

For a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure), we construct a sequence consisting of differential operators using a symplectic torsion-free affine connection. All but one of these operators are of first order. The first order ones are symplectic analogues of the twistor operators known from Riemannian spin geometry. We prove that under the condition the symplectic Weyl curvature tensor field of the symplectic connection vanishes, the mentioned sequence forms a complex. This gives rise to a new complex for the so called Ricci type symplectic manifolds, which admit a metaplectic structure.

Extended Future Tube Conjecture for Unipotent Subgroups

Let $\Omega$ be the Lorentz future cone in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to the Lorentz product and let $T^M$ be the $M$-fold product of the future tube $T=\mathbb{R}^{d+1}+i\Omega$. The Lorentz group $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$ acts diagonally on $T^M$, and its complexification $\mathrm{SO}(1,d)^\mathbb{C}$ acts on $\mathbb{C}^{(d+1)\times M}$. We prove that the domain $G^\mathbb{C}\cdot T^M$ is a Stein manifold for any connected unipotent subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$.

The First Correction Term in the Asymptotic Expansion of Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian States

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifold of a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a holomorphic prequantum line bundle. We study the asymptotic expansion of the Lagrangian states associated with $\Lambda$. In particular, we compute explicitly the first nontrivial correction term and show that it is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the ambient K\"ahler manifold and the Lagrangian submanifold, including their scalar curvatures, the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature. As a consequence, we obtain the corresponding second-order asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Lagrangian states.

Classification of Legendrian doubles and suspensions

We define a construction of Legendrians inside contact manifolds that arise by doubling an exact Lagrangian filling in the page of an open book decomposition. This can be seen as a generalization of a previous construction by Courte and Ekholm to arbitrary open books. These Legendrians, called Legendrian doubles, are shown to admit regular flexible exact Lagrangian fillings, and they are thus classified up to Legendrian isotopy by classical data. Finally, we show that the Legendrian suspension construction, as defined by Arikan and the author in previous work,-this is a Legendrian contained inside a page of an open book that is obtained by using Seidel's suspension of Lefschetz fibrations- is a Legendrian double.
