Towards Hypersemitoric Systems

Abstract

This survey gives a short and comprehensive introduction to a class of finite-dimensional integrable systems known as hypersemitoric systems, recently introduced by Hohloch and Palmer in connection with the solution of the problem how to extend Hamiltonian circle actions on symplectic 4-manifolds to integrable systems with `nice' singularities. The quadratic spherical pendulum, the Euler and Lagrange tops (for generic values of the Casimirs), coupled-angular momenta, and the coupled spin oscillator system are all examples of hypersemitoric systems. Hypersemitoric systems are a natural generalization of so-called semitoric systems (introduced by Vu Ngoc) which in turn generalize toric systems. Speaking in terms of bifurcations, semitoric systems are `toric systems with/after supercritical Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcations'. Hypersemitoric systems are `semitoric systems with, among others, subcritical Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcations'. Whereas the symplectic geometry and spectral theory of toric and semitoric sytems is by now very well developed, the theory of hypersemitoric systems is still forming its shape. This short survey introduces the reader to this developing theory by presenting the necessary notions and results as well as its connections to other areas of mathematics and mathematical physics.

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.
