The spectral norm provides a lower bound to the Hofer norm. It is thus natural to ask whether the diameter of the spectral norm is finite or not. During this short talk, I will give a sketch of the proof that, in the case of Liouville domains, the...

I will explain how to construct the Ruelle invariant of a symplectic cocycle over an arbitrary measure preserving flow. I will provide examples and computations in the case of Hamiltonian flows and Reeb flows (in particular, for toric domains). As...

Relative symplectic cohomology is a Floer theoretic invariant associated with compact subsets K of a closed or geometrically bounded symplectic manifold M. The motivation for studying it is that it is often possible to reduce the study of global...

Gromov-Witten invariants for a general target are rational-valued but not necessarily integer-valued. This is due to the contribution of curves with nontrivial automorphism groups. In 1997 Fukaya and Ono proposed a new method in symplectic geometry...

Homeomorphism is called contact if it can be written as C0-limit of contactomorphisms. The contact version of Eliashberg-Gromov rigidity theorem states that smooth contact homeomorphisms preserve contact structure. Submanifold L of a contact...

In this talk, I will state a conjecture giving a formula for the Lagrangian capacity of a convex or concave toric domain. First, I will explain a proof of the conjecture in the case where the toric domain is convex and 4-dimensional, using the Gutt...

We show that Viterbo‘s conjecture (for the EHZ-capacity) for convex Lagrangian products in ℝ4 holds for all Lagrangian products (any trapezoid in ℝ2) x (any convex body in ℝ2). Moreover, we classify all equality cases of Viterbo’s conjecture within...

To an element in the completion of the set of Lagrangians for the spectral distance we associate a support.  We show that such a support is γ-coisotropic (a notion we shall define in the talk) and we shall give examples and counterexamples of γ...

In this talk, I want to show that in the planar circular restricted three body problem there are infinitely many symmetric consecutive collision orbits for all energies below the first critical energy value.  By using the Levi-Civita regularization...

Let K be a knot or link in the 3-sphere, thought of as the ideal boundary of hyperbolic 4-space, H4. The main theme of my talk is that it should be possible to count minimal surfaces in H4 which fill K and obtain a link invariant. In other words...
