A Note on Toric Contact Geometry

After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds we use this fact together with a recent symplectic orbifold version of Delzant’s theorem due to Lerman and Tolman [LT] to show that every compact toric contact manifold can be obtained by a contact reduction from an odd dimensional sphere.

Odd Dimensional Symplectic Manifolds

In this thesis, we introduce the odd dimensional symplectic manifolds. In the first half we study the Hodge theory on the basic symplectic manifolds. We can define two cohomology theories on them, the standard basic de Rham cohomology gheory and a basic version of the Koszul-Brylinski-Mathieu 'harmonic' symplectic cohomology theory. Among our main results are a collection of examples for which ...

Symplectic Topology and Capacities

I am going to talk about symplectic topology, a field that has seen a remarkable development in the past 15 years. Let’s begin with what was classically known – which was rather little. We start with a symplectic form ω, that is, a closed 2-form which is nondegenerate. This last condition means that ω is defined on an even dimensional manifold M and that its wedge with itself n times is a top d...

Metric convexity in the symplectic category

We introduce an extension of the standard Local-to-Global Principle used in the proof of the convexity theorems for the momentum map to handle closed maps that take values in a length metric space. This extension is used to study the convexity properties of the cylinder valued momentum map introduced by Condevaux, Dazord, and Molino in [8] and allows us to obtain the most general convexity stat...
