We compute the Fukaya category of the symplectic blowup of a compact rational symplectic manifold at a point in the following sense: suppose a collection of Lagrangian branes satisfy Abouzaid’s criterion [Abo10] for split-generation of a bulk-deformed Fukaya category of cleanly intersecting Lagrangian branes. We show (Theorem 1.1) that for a small blowup parameter, their inverse images in the blowup together with a collection of branes near the exceptional locus split-generate the Fukaya category of the blowup. This categorifies a result on quantum cohomology by Bayer [Bay04] and is an example of a more general conjectural description of the behaviour of the Fukaya category under transitions occurring in the minimal model program, namely that minimal model program transitions generate additional summands.
We prove that for every relatively prime pair of integers $(d,r)$ with $r>0$, there exists an exceptional pair $({\mathcal {O}},V)$ on any del Pezzo surface of degree $4$, such that V is a bundle of rank r and degree d. As an application, we prove that every Feigin-Odesskii Poisson bracket on a projective space can be included into a $5$-dimensional linear space of compatible Poisson brackets. We also construct new examples of linear spaces of compatible Feigin-Odesskii Poisson brackets of dimension $>5$, coming from del Pezzo surfaces of degree $>4$.
Given a symplectic class $$\left[ \omega \right]$$ on a four torus $${T^4}$$ (or a $$K3$$ surface), a folklore problem in symplectic geometry is whether symplectic forms in $$\left[ \omega \right]$$ are isotopic to each other. We introduce a family of nonlinear Hodge heat flows on compact symplectic four manifolds to approach this problem, which is an adaption of nonlinear Hodge theory in symplectic geometry. As a particular example, we study a conformal Hodge heat flow in detail. We prove a stability result of the flow near an almost Kähler structure $$\left( {M,\omega ,g} \right)$$. We also prove that, if $$\left| {\nabla {\rm{log}}u} \right|$$ stays bounded along the flow, then the flow exists for all time for any initial symplectic form $$\rho \in \left[ \omega \right]$$ and it converges to $$\omega $$ smoothly along the flow with uniform control, where $$u$$ is the volume potential of $$\rho $$.
We provide a presymplectic characterization of Liouville sectors introduced by Ganatra–Pardon–Shende in [10, 12] in terms of the characteristic foliation of the boundary, which we call Liouville σ-sectors. We extend this definition to the case with corners using the presymplectic geometry of null foliations of the coisotropic intersections of transverse coisotropic collection of hypersurfaces, which appear in the definition of Liouville sectors with corners. We show that the set of Liouville σ-sectors with corners canonically forms a monoid that provides a natural framework for considering the Künneth-type functors in the wrapped Fukaya category. We identify its automorphism group that enables one to give a natural definition of bundles of Liouville sectors. As a byproduct, we affirmatively answer a question raised in [10, Question 2.6], which asks about the optimality of their definition of Liouville sectors in [10].
Counterexamples to Lagrangian Poincaré recurrence were recently found in dimensions greater than six by Broćić and Shelukhin. We construct counterexamples in dimension four using almost toric fibrations.
Using bi-contact geometry, we define a new type of Dehn surgery on an Anosov flow with orientable weak invariant foliations. The Anosovity of the new flow is strictly connected to contact geometry and the Reeb dynamics of the defining bi-contact structure. This approach gives new insights into the properties of the flows produced by Goodman surgery and clarifies under which conditions Goodman’s construction yields an Anosov flow. Our main application gives a necessary and sufficient condition to generate a contact Anosov flow by Foulon–Hasselblatt Legendrian surgery on a geodesic flow. In particular, we show that this is possible if and only if the surgery is performed along a simple closed geodesic. As a corollary, we have that any positive skewed $\mathbb {R}$-covered Anosov flow obtained by a single surgery on a closed orbit of a geodesic flow is orbit equivalent to a positive contact Anosov flow.
Given a Hamiltonian torus action on a symplectic manifold, Teleman and Fukaya have proposed that the Fukaya category of each symplectic quotient should be equivalent to an equivariant Fukaya category of the original manifold. We lay out new conjectures that extend this story – in certain situations – to singular values of the moment map. These include a proposal for how, in some cases, we can recover the non-equivariant Fukaya category of the original manifold starting from data on the quotient.
To justify our conjectures, we pass through the mirror and work out numerous examples, using well-established heuristics in toric mirror symmetry. We also discuss the algebraic and categorical structures that underlie our story.
We construct moduli spaces of framed logarithmic connections and also moduli spaces of framed parabolic connections. It is shown that these moduli spaces possess a natural algebraic symplectic structure. We also give an upper bound of the transcendence degree of the algebra of regular functions on the moduli space of parabolic connections.
We show that the fundamental group of every enumeratively rationally connected closed symplectic manifold is finite. In other words, if a closed symplectic manifold has a non-zero Gromov–Witten invariant with two point insertions, then it has finite fundamental group. We also show that if the spherical homology class associated with such a non-zero Gromov–Witten invariant is holomorphically indecomposable, then the rational second homology of the symplectic manifold has rank one.
We develop a local-to-global formalism for constructing Calabi–Yau structures for global sections of constructible sheaves or cosheaves of differential graded categories. The required data (a morphism between the sheafified Hochschild homology with the topological dualizing sheaf, satisfying a nondegeneracy condition) specializes to the classical notion of orientation when applied to the category of local systems on a manifold. We apply this construction to the cosheaves on arboreal skeleta arising in the microlocal approach to the A-model.
In this paper, we establish homological Berglund–Hübsch mirror symmetry for curve singularities where the A–model incorporates equivariance, otherwise known as homological Berglund–Hübsch–Henningson mirror symmetry, including for certain deformations of categories. More precisely, we prove a conjecture of Futaki and Ueda which posits that the equivariance in the A–model can be incorporated by pulling back the superpotential to the total space of the corresponding crepant resolution. Along the way, we show that the B–model category of matrix factorisations has a tilting object whose length is the dimension of the state space of the Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten (FJRW) A–model, a result which might be of independent interest for its implications in the Landau–Ginzburg analogue of Dubrovin’s conjecture.
Let X be a toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold and let $L\subset X$ be an Aganagic-Vafa outer brane. We prove two versions of open WDVV equations for the open Gromov-Witten theory of $(X,L)$. The first version of the open WDVV equation leads to the construction of a semi-simple (formal) Frobenius manifold, and the second version leads to the construction of a flat (formal) F-manifold.
We prove a genus zero Givental-style mirror theorem for all complete intersections in toric Deligne-Mumford stacks, which provides an explicit slice called big I-function on Givental’s Lagrangian cone for such targets. In particular, we remove a technical assumption called convexity needed in the previous mirror theorem for such complete intersections. In the realm of quasimap theory, our mirror theorem can be viewed as solving the quasimap wall-crossing conjecture for big I-function [13] for these targets. In the proof, we discover a new recursive characterization of the slice on Givental’s Lagrangian cone, which may be of self-independent interests.
This article focuses on two kinds of generalized special Lagrangian type equations. We investigate the Dirichlet problem for these equations with supercritical phase and critical phase in $\mathbb {R}^n$, deriving the a priori estimates and establishing the existence under the assumption of a subsolution. Furthermore, we also consider the corresponding special Lagrangian curvature type equations with supercritical phase and critical phase.
In this paper we discuss three distance functions on the set of convex bodies. In particular we study the convergence of Delzant polytopes, which are fundamental objects in symplectic toric geometry. By using these observations, we derive some convergence theorems for symplectic toric manifolds with respect to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance.
We compute the open Gromov-Witten disk invariants and the relative quantum cohomology of the Chiang Lagrangian $L_\triangle \subset \mathbb {C}P^3$. Since $L_\triangle $ is not fixed by any anti-symplectic involution, the invariants may augment straightforward J-holomorphic disk counts with correction terms arising from the formalism of Fukaya $A_\infty $-algebras and bounding cochains. These correction terms are shown in fact to be nontrivial for many invariants. Moreover, examples of nonvanishing mixed disk and sphere invariants are obtained.
We characterize a class of open Gromov-Witten invariants, called basic, which coincide with straightforward counts of J-holomorphic disks. Basic invariants for the Chiang Lagrangian are computed using the theory of axial disks developed by Evans-Lekili and Smith in the context of Floer cohomology. The open WDVV equations give recursive relations which determine all invariants from the basic ones. The denominators of all invariants are observed to be powers of $2$ indicating a nontrivial arithmetic structure of the open WDVV equations. The magnitude of invariants is not monotonically increasing with degree. Periodic behavior is observed with periods $8$ and $16.$
We provide two constructions of Gaussian random holomorphic sections of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle $(L,h_{L})$ on a Hermitian complex manifold $(X,\Theta )$, that are particularly interesting in the case where the space of $\mathcal {L}^2$-holomorphic sections $H^{0}_{(2)}(X,L)$ is infinite dimensional. We first provide a general construction of Gaussian random holomorphic sections of L, which, if $H^{0}_{(2)}(X,L)$ is infinite dimensional, are almost never $\mathcal {L}^2$-integrable on X. The second construction combines the abstract Wiener space theory with the Berezin–Toeplitz quantization and yields a Gaussian ensemble of random $\mathcal {L}^2$-holomorphic sections. Furthermore, we study their random zeros in the context of semiclassical limits, including their distributions, large deviation estimates, local fluctuations and hole probabilities.
Let W be a symplectic manifold, and let $\phi :W \to W$ be a symplectic automorphism. This automorphism induces an auto-equivalence $\Phi $ defined on the Fukaya category of W. In this paper, we prove that the categorical entropy of $\Phi $ provides a lower bound for the topological entropy of $\phi $, where W is a Weinstein manifold and $\phi $ is compactly supported. Furthermore, motivated by [cCGG24], we propose a conjecture that generalizes the result of [New88, Prz80, Yom87].
In this paper we use the periodic Toda lattice to show that certain Lagrangian product configurations in the classical phase space are symplectically equivalent to toric domains. In particular, we prove that the Lagrangian product of a certain simplex and the Voronoi cell of the root lattice $A_n$ is symplectically equivalent to a Euclidean ball. As a consequence, we deduce that the Lagrangian product of an equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon is symplectomorphic to a Euclidean ball in dimension 4.
We give a mathematically precise statement of the SYZ conjecture between mirror space pairs and prove it for any toric Calabi-Yau manifold with the Gross Lagrangian fibration. To date, it is the first time we realize the SYZ proposal with singular fibers beyond the topological level. The dual singular fibration is explicitly written and proved to be compatible with the family Floer mirror construction. Moreover, we discover that the Maurer-Cartan set of a singular Lagrangian is only a strict subset of the corresponding dual singular fiber. This responds negatively to the previous expectation and leads to new perspectives of SYZ singularities. As extra evidence, we also check some computations for a well-known folklore conjecture for the Landau-Ginzburg model.
