Uniqueness of Tangent Cones to Positive-(p,p) Integral Cycles

Let $(M, \om)$ be a symplectic manifold, endowed with a compatible almost complex structure J and the associated metric g . For any p \in {1, 2, ... (dim M)/2} the form $\Om := \frac{\om^p}{p!}$ is a calibration. More generally, dropping the closedness assumption on $\om$, we get an almost hermitian manifold $(M, \om, J, g)$ and then $\Om$ is a so-called semi-calibration. We prove that integral cycles of dimension 2p (semi-)calibrated by $\Om$ possess at every point a unique tangent cone. The argument relies on an algebraic blow up perturbed in order to face the analysis issues of this problem in the almost complex setting.

Tangent cones to positive-(1,1) De Rham currents

We consider positive-(1,1) De Rham currents in arbitrary almost complex manifolds and prove the uniqueness of the tangent cone at any point where the density does not have a jump with respect to all of its values in a neighbourhood. Without this assumption, counterexamples to the uniqueness of tangent cones can be produced already in C^n, hence our result is optimal. The key idea is an implementation, for currents in an almost complex setting, of the classical blow up of curves in algebraic or symplectic geometry. Unlike the classical approach in C^n, we cannot rely on plurisubharmonic potentials.

Almost complex structures and calibrated integral cycles in contact 5-manifolds

In a contact manifold (M^5, alpha), we consider almost complex structures J which satisfy, for any vector v in the horizontal distribution, d alpha (v,Jv) = 0. We prove that integral cycles whose approximate tangent planes have the property of being J-invariant are in fact smooth Legendrian curves except possibly at isolated points and we investigate how such structures J are related to calibrations.

The regularity of Special Legendrian Integral Cycles

Special Legendrian Integral Cycles in $S^5$ are the links of the tangent cones to Special Lagrangian integer multiplicity rectifiable currents in Calabi-Yau 3-folds. We show that such Special Legendrian Cycles are smooth except possibly at isolated points.
