Abstract

We define a symplectic structure on singular 1-form densities and a presymplectic structure on augmented triples, a compressible analog of the Marsden--Weinstein symplectic structure on vortex membranes in the incompressible case. Equivalence classes of augmented triples can be regarded as special vorticities in compressible fluids, i.e., singular elements of the dual to the Lie algebra of the group of all diffeomorphisms of a manifold, while Marsden--Weinstein symplectic structure is related to singular vorticities for the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. This structure on singular 1-form densities occupies an intermediate position between two other settings, which we revisit, the Weinstein symplectic structure on weighted isotropic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds and the Marsden--Weinstein symplectic structure on vortex membranes.

Biran decomposition and relative symplectic cohomology

Let $(M,ω)$ be a closed monotone integral symplectic manifold with monotonicity constant $τ>0$, and let $D\subset M$ be a symplectic hyperplane section of degree $0<k<τ$. By Biran's decomposition theorem, $M$ is the union of a symplectic disk bundle over $D$ and the skeleton of the complement $M\setminus D$ equipped with its Liouville structure. In this paper, we compute the relative symplectic cohomology of circle subbundles of this disk bundle over $\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of the quantum cohomology of $D$. This relative symplectic cohomology depends on the radius of the circle bundle relative to a certain critical radius. For a broad class of pairs $(M,D)$, we prove that the relative symplectic cohomology over $\mathbb{Z}$ does not vanish for supercritical radii. Therefore, circle bundles of supercritical radii are heavy subsets, which yields infinite dimensional quasi-flats in the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group with respect to both the Hofer metric and the spectral metric over $\mathbb{Z}$. We also establish that if the degree $k$ of $D$ is greater than one, the skeleton of $M\setminus D$ is SH-full over $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, and hence non-displaceable in $M$ by any symplectomorphism.

Cluster structures from Legendrian double twist knots: a comparative approach

We undertake a systematic comparison of cluster algebras associated to Legendrian knots of the same smooth knot type. We describe a cluster structure on the m-graded augmentation variety of Legendrian representatives of a family of double twist knots that includes all orientably Lagrangian fillable twist knots. For different Legendrian representatives of the same smooth knot type, we show that these cluster structures are equivalent. Along the way, we characterize the representatives that admit Maslov-m exact Lagrangian fillings, construct a Catalan number of such fillings for each representative, and show that any Maslov-0 fillable representative is Legendrian isotopic to the (-1)-framed closure of a positive braid. Finally, we give two Legendrian representatives of a cabled twist knot that yield equivalent cluster structures of infinite type.

Boundary Depth and Deformations of Symplectic Cohomology

We study the relation between the ambient symplectic cohomology with supports associated to a Liouville domain \(D\subset M\), which depends on the embedding and is defined over the Novikov ring, and the intrinsic symplectic cohomology of \(D\), which depends only on its local Liouville geometry. We first prove that the leading-order reduction of the ambient theory with respect to relative symplectic area is intrinsic. Under a quantitative hypothesis expressed in terms of the boundary depth of the intrinsic complex, this leading-order comparison becomes a genuine deformation model: the ambient theory is obtained as a controlled deformation of intrinsic symplectic cohomology, compatibly with restriction and the basic Floer operations. When the boundary depth is finite, we study the size of this deformation through an invariant \(τ\), and prove that it is concave under variation of the Liouville primitive and monotone under exact inclusions of Liouville subdomains with compatible primitives for which the Viterbo restriction map is injective. These results provide the closed-string input to a local-to-global approach to Floer theory. We outline a conjectural strategy for proving homological mirror symmetry in SYZ settings by combining computable intrinsic local models with Fukaya categories with supports and descent.
