Symplectic Seminar

In this talk, I will address a geometric inverse problem from contact geometry: is it possible to recognize whether all orbits of a given Reeb flow are closed from the knowledge of the action spectrum? Borrowing the terminology from Riemannian...

I will explain recent joint work proving that the group of compactly supported area preserving homeomorphisms of the two-disc is not a simple group; this answers the ”Simplicity Conjecture” in the affirmative. Our proof uses new spectral invariants...

The purpose of the talk is to discuss a class of pseudo-metrics that can be defined on the set of objects of a triangulated category whose morphisms are endowed with a notion of weight. In case the objects are Lagrangian submanifolds (possibly...
