Embeddings of symplectic singularities into smooth manifolds

Let $X$ be a symplectic variety with terminal singularities of dimension $2n$, $\sigma\in H^0(X^{reg},\Omega^2_{X^{reg}})$ a holomorphic symplectic form. Pick a neighborhood $U$ of a point $x\in X$. ...

Hyperkähler quotient of left $\operatorname{SU}(2)$-action on $(\mathbb{C}^2)^m \cong \mathbb{H}^m$

The natural $\operatorname{SU}(2)$-action on quaternions $\mathbb{H}\cong\mathbb{C}^2$ is hyperkähler. Extending it naturally to $\mathbb{H}^m$, one can make a hyperkähler quotient (where $\mu=(\mu_I,\...

When does a holomorphic symplectic manifold compactify to a Poisson manifold?

Let $X$ be a complex manifold endowed with a holomorphic closed 2-form $\omega$ whose associated map $\omega : TX \to T^*X$ is invertible. Can we always embed $X$ as an open subset of a compact ...

Symplectic resolutions amongst cotangent bundles

It is known that a generalized flag variety $X=T^*(G/P)$ is a (symplectic) resolution of singularities of its affinization $X^\text{aff}\mathrel{:=}\operatorname{Spec}(H^0(X,\mathcal{O}_X))$. In type ...

Is there an symplectic field theory compactness theorem applicable in the context of Floer cohomology of a symplectomorphism?

Is there any reference in the literature about results regarding symplectic field theory (SFT) compactness for a neck-stretch in the context of Floer homology of a symplectomorphism $\phi \colon (M,\...

Bubbling off of a pseudo holomorphic sphere on surface with cylindrical ends

I need some clarification about the reason why we have a sphere bubbling off in the situation described by Seidel in The Symplectic Floer Homology of a Dehn Twist. I’ll try to summarize to the best ...

Two Lagrangian submanifolds with clean intersections

Having two closed exact Lagrangian submanifolds $L_1$ and $L_2$ that intersect cleanly inside a Liouville manifold $M$ with $c_1(M)=0,$ is there (with possibly some other conditions) any relation ...

Contact 3-manifolds with hyperkahler Stein fillings?

Is there any classification result on (homeomorphism type) of contact 3-manifolds $\Sigma$ that have Stein filling $W$ that is 1. Hyperkahler (s.t. Stein structure is the Kahler part of it) 2. not ...

Effective classes in toric Kähler manifolds

In an article about toric manifolds, I have seen the following notions, which I don't understand. We view a symplectic toric manifold $(M,\omega)$ as a Kähler manifold with Kähler form $\omega$, and ...

Disconnecting the Lagrangian Grassmannian

Let $(V, \omega)$ be a symplectic vector space of dimension 2n. This has a Lagrangian Grassmannian $\Lambda(V)$ of Lagrangian subspaces of $V$. Now consider the following subvariety: Fix a half-...

Can one choose a sufficiently generic path of a.c.s such that only "codimension 1" bubbling occurs?

Consider a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ of dimension $2n$ (closed or open with bounded geometry). Let $L\subset M$ be a compact Lagrangian submanifold (not necessarily connected). Consider two ...

Irreducibility of holomorphic symplectic quotients

Why symplectic geometry gives Poisson geometry

One way I've learned to understand Poisson geometry is to consider it as symplectic geometry with no open conditions - i.e. no condition of nondegeneracy. This idea can be applied to many other ...

What is the relation between holomorphic blow-up and symplectic blow-up?

McDuff has shown us exactly how the symplectic blow-up procedure along a symplectic submanifold affects the symplectic structure in the ambient space, i.e., if $\omega$ is the original symplectic form,...

Shape of the bubbling limit of holomorphic discs

I will present my question in the specifics I encountered it, so maybe some of the details are irrelevant for the desired conclusion. Consider $(S^2\times S^2,\omega_{std})$ the product of two ...
