We develop a method of calculation for the symplectic Floer homology of composite knots. The symplectic Floer homology of knots defined in [15] naturally admits an integer graded lifting, and it formulates a filtration and induced spectral sequence. Such a spectral sequence converges to the symplectic homology of knots in [15]. We show that there is another spectral sequence which converges to ...

The phase space of a particle or a mechanical system contains an intrinsic symplectic structure, and hence, it is a symplectic manifold. Recently, new invariants for symplectic manifolds in terms of cohomologies of differential forms have been introduced by Tseng and Yau. Here, we discuss the physical motivation behind the new symplectic invariants and analyze these invariants for phase space, ...

We give an independent set axiomatization of symplectic matroids, a large and important class of Coxeter matroids. As an application, we construct a new class of examples of symplectic matroids from graphs. As another application, we prove that symplectic matroids satisfy a certain “basis exchange property,” and we conjecture that this basis exchange property in fact characterizes symplectic ma...

By means of the perturbative renormalization group method, we study a long-time behaviour of some symplectic discrete maps near elliptic and hyperbolic fixed points. It is shown that a naive renormalization group (RG) map breaks the symplectic symmetry and fails to describe a long-time behaviour. In order to preserve the symplectic symmetry, we present a regularization procedure, which gives a ...

We provide an explicit description of symplectic leaves of a simply connected connected semisimple complex Lie group equipped with the standard Poisson-Lie structure. This sharpens previously known descriptions of the symplectic leaves as connected components of certain varieties. Our main tool is the machinery of twisted generalized minors. They also allow us to present several quasi-commuting...

Conditions are given under which an infinitesimal automorphism of a torsion-free connection preserving a symplectic form is necessarily a symplectic vector field. An example is given of a compact symplectic nilmanifold admitting a flat symplectic connection and an infinitesimal automorphism that is not symplectic. On a symplectic manifold (M,Ω), a symplectic connection is a torsion-free affine ...

We study quadratic Lie algebras over a field K of null characteristic which admit, at the same time, a symplectic structure. We see that if K is algebraically closed every such Lie algebra may be constructed as the T∗-extension of a nilpotent algebra admitting an invertible derivation and also as the double extension of another quadratic symplectic Lie algebra by the one-dimensional Lie algebra...

We give a concise overview of the classification theory of symplectic manifolds equipped with torus actions for which the orbits are symplectic (this is equivalent to the existence of a symplectic principal orbit), and apply this theory to study the structure of the leaf space induced by the action. In particular we show that if M is a symplectic manifold on which a torus T acts effectively wit...

We develop differential and symplectic geometry of differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks (orbifolds) including Hamiltonian group actions and symplectic reduction. As an application we construct new examples of symplectic toric DM stacks.

0. Introduction. A symplectic groupoid is a manifold T with a partially defined multiplication (satisfying certain axioms) and a compatible symplectic structure. The identity elements in T turn out to form a Poisson manifold To? and the correspondence between symplectic groupoids and Poisson manifolds is a natural extension of the one between Lie groups and Lie algebras. As with Lie groups, und...
