Relative symplectic cohomology in complex projective spaces

Relative symplectic cohomology is an invariant of compact subsets of a closed symplectic manifold, introduced by Varolgunes. There are many examples of computations of this invariant over the Novikov field, but the collection of computed examples over the Novikov ring is still quite limited. One reason for this is that such computations require determining the relevant Floer complexes for Hamiltonians that are not necessarily $C^2$-small Morse functions. In this work, we present a computation of relative symplectic cohomology over the Novikov ring for balls and their complements in $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Our computation relies on explicit descriptions of Floer complexes, in the Morse--Bott setting with cascades, for J-shaped Hamiltonians on $\mathbb{C}P^n$. This allows us to deduce new estimates for the stable displacement energy of the boundaries of balls in $\mathbb{C}P^n$.

Poisson Bracket Invariants and Wrapped Floer Homology

The Poisson bracket invariants, introduced by Buhovsky, Entov, and Polterovich and further studied by Entov and Polterovich, serve as invariants for quadruples of closed sets in symplectic manifolds. Their nonvanishing has significant implications for the existence of Hamiltonian chords between pairs of sets within the quadruple, with bounds on the time-length of these chords. In this work, we establish lower bounds on the Poisson bracket invariants for certain configurations arising in the completion of Liouville domains. These bounds are expressed in terms of the barcode of wrapped Floer homology. Our primary examples come from cotangent bundles of closed Riemannian manifolds, where the quadruple consists of two fibers over distinct points and two cosphere bundles of different radii, or a single cosphere bundle and the zero section.

Symplectic topology and ideal-valued measures

We adapt Gromov's notion of ideal-valued measures to symplectic topology, and use it for proving new results on symplectic rigidity and symplectic intersections. Furthermore, it enables us to discuss three "big fiber theorems", the Centerpoint Theorem in combinatorial geometry, the Maximal Fiber Inequality in topology, and the Non-displaceable Fiber Theorem in symplectic topology, from a unified viewpoint. Our main technical tool is an enhancement of the symplectic cohomology theory recently developed by Varolgunes.

Enumeration of plane unicuspidal curves of any genus via tropical geometry

We enumerate complex curves on toric surfaces of any given degree and genus, having a single cusp and nodes as their singularities, and matching appropriately many point constraints. The solution is obtained via tropical enumerative geometry. The same technique applies to enumeration of real plane cuspidal curves: We show that, for any fixed $r\ge1$ and $d\ge2r+3$, there exists a generic real $2r$-dimensional linear family of plane curves of degree $d$ in which the number of real $r$-cuspidal curves is asymptotically comparable with the total number of complex $r$-cuspidal curves in the family, as $d\to\infty$.

Floer theory of disjointly supported Hamiltonians on symplectically aspherical manifolds

We study the Floer-theoretic interaction between disjointly supported Hamiltonians by comparing Floer-theoretic invariants of these Hamiltonians with the ones of their sum. These invariants include spectral invariants, boundary depth and Abbondandolo-Haug-Schlenk's action selector. Additionally, our method shows that in certain situations the spectral invariants of a Hamiltonian supported in an open subset of a symplectic manifold are independent of the ambient manifold.

Enumerating Cuspidal Curves on Toric Surfaces

Enumerative algebraic geometry deals with problems of counting geometric objects defined algebraically, An important class of enumerative problems is that of counting curves: given a class of curves in some projective variety defined by fixing some algebraic or geometric invariants (such as degree, genus and types of singularities), the problem usually takes the form of "how many curves of that class pass through a configuration of n points in general position?" Tropical Geometry deals with certain piecewise-linear complexes, which arise as degeneration of families of complex algebraic varieties, and can also be described algebraically using "max-plus" algebra, (The tropical semi-field). The problem we solve is that of counting rational curves with one cusp and certain number of nodes on toric surfaces, passing through a configuration of sufficient points in general position. We show that that this number equals the number of certain tropical curves counted with multiplicities and we describe these curves and their multiplicities. The main tools are tropicalization and patchworking. In tropicalization we pass from an equisingular family of curves to a special limit fiber which can be described in terms of tropical data and analytic data. We then classify these possible limits, and use the patchworking theorem to reconstruct the families that correspond to them.

Lagrangian isotopies and symplectic function theory

We study two related invariants of Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic manifolds. For a Lagrangian torus these invariants are functions on the first cohomology of the torus. The first invariant is of topological nature and is related to the study of Lagrangian isotopies with a given Lagrangian flux. More specifically, it measures the length of straight paths in the first cohomology that can be realized as the Lagrangian flux of a Lagrangian isotopy. The second invariant is of analytical nature and comes from symplectic function theory. It is defined for Lagrangian submanifolds admitting fibrations over a circle and has a dynamical interpretation. We partially compute these invariants for certain Lagrangian tori.
