Geometric properties and flux of locally conformally symplectic diffeomorphisms

Abstract

We investigate the geometric and topological properties of the group of locally conformally symplectic (LCS) diffeomorphisms, utilizing the LCS flux homomorphism defined by S. Haller. By analyzing the flux map from the universal cover of the identity component $(\ker Φ)_0$ to the first Lichnerowicz cohomology group $H_ω^1(M)$, we establish a short exact sequence characterizing the Hamiltonian subgroup $\Ham_Ω(M)$ and provide conditions for its topological splitting as a semidirect product. We develop LCS analogues of fundamental symplectic results, including a Weinstein neighborhood theorem, a flux rigidity theorem for homotopies, and a characterization of LCS structures on mapping tori. A central theme of this work is the influence of the Hodge decomposition of the Lee form $ω= dh + l$. In the exact case ($l=0$), we utilize the global conformal equivalence to symplectic structures to establish energy-capacity inequalities, an LCS Hofer metric, and non-displaceability results. We explicitly analyze the relationship between the LCS Calabi invariant and its symplectic counterpart, showing they are controlled by a multiplicative factor depending on the conformal weight. For the general non-exact case ($l \neq 0$), we introduce a Twisted Calabi invariant that captures the interaction between Hamiltonian dynamics and the harmonic component of the Lee form.

Tightness of Chekanov's bound on displacement energy for some Lagrangian knots

By a classical theorem of Chekanov, the displacement energy, $e$, of a Lagrangian submanifold is bounded from below by the minimal area, $\hbar$, of pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundary on the Lagrangian. We compute $e$ and $\hbar$ for displaceable Chekanov tori in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, and for an infinite family of exotic tori in $\mathbb{C}^3$ constructed by Brendel. In these families, $e=\hbar$. We compare continuity properties of $e$ and $\hbar$ on the space of Lagrangians. This provides an example (suggested by Fukaya, Oh, Ohta, and Ono) where $e>\hbar$. Our calculations have further applications such as a new proof, inspired by work of Auroux, that Brendel's family of exotic tori consists of infinitely many distinct Lagrangians.

On intrinsic homological mirror symmetry for toric degenerations

This paper studies the Floer-theoretic aspects of homological mirror symmetry inspired by proposals of Perutz and Siebert and the Gross--Siebert intrinsic mirror symmetry program. Given a maximally unipotent degeneration of smooth projective Calabi--Yau manifolds over the punctured disk, we construct a ring using the fixed point Floer cohomology groups of the iterates of the monodromy of the degeneration equipped with the pair of pants product. Under the assumption that this ring is commutative, we can consider a candidate mirror family defined by the relative Proj construction. Further assuming that a smooth fiber $X_t$ contains a so-called tropical Lagrangian section, we construct a fully faithful embedding from the derived category of perfect complexes on our candidate mirror family into the Fukaya category of $X_t$. We verify both of these assumptions for certain Batyrev--Borisov toric degenerations, as well as some toric degenerations of Calabi--Yau threefolds coming from the Gross--Siebert reconstruction algorithm. These two geometric hypotheses are both phrased to support the general study of mirror symmetry for maximally unipotent degenerations of Calabi--Yau manifolds, largely reducing the symplectic inputs for proving homological mirror symmetry to the problem of constructing tropical Lagrangian sections.

$b^k$-Symplectic Manifolds and $[Q,R]=0$

We study the geometric quantization of $b^k$-symplectic manifolds using the integrability of Lie algebroids. Using a groupoid index, we define a quantization for $b^k$-symplectic manifolds whose singular locus is a normal crossing divisor and which carry a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group, generalizing Guillemin--Miranda--Weitsman in a few directions. Firstly, we show this quantization is the index of a $\spinc$-Dirac operator, answering a question of theirs. In particular, it is a finite-dimensional virtual representation for every $k$, whereas their formal quantization is infinite-dimensional when the modular degrees are even. Secondly, our symplectic form can have singularities along hypersurfaces which can have normal crossings. Finally, we prove that quantization commutes with reduction for the Hamiltonian action of a possibly non-abelian compact connected Lie group, when the modular degrees are odd. In the case when the modular degrees are not odd, we give an example when $[Q,R]=0$ fails.
