For any nonempty, compact and fiberwise convex set $K$ in $T^*mathbb{R}^n$, we prove an isomorphism between symplectic homology of $K$ and a certain relative homology of loop spaces of $mathbb{R}^n$. We also prove a formula which computes symplectic homology capacity (which is a symplectic capacity defined from symplectic homology) of $K$ using homology of loop spaces. As applications, we prove (i) symplectic homology capacity of any convex body is equal to its Ekeland-Hofer-Zehnder capacity, (ii) a certain subadditivity property of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity, which is a generalization of a result previously proved by Haim-Kislev.

In this article we give a sharp upper bound on the possible values of the Euler characteristic for a minimal symplectic filling of a tight contact structure on a lens space. This estimate is obtained by looking at the topology of the spaces involved, extending this way what we already knew from the universally tight case to the virtually overtwisted one. As a lower bound, we prove that virtually overtwisted structures on lens spaces never bound Stein rational homology balls. Then we turn our attention to covering maps: since an overtwisted disk lifts to an overtwisted disk, all the coverings of a universally tight structure are themselves tight. The situation is less clear when we consider virtually overtwisted structures. By starting with such a structure on a lens space, we know that this lifts to an overtwisted structure on $S^3$, but what happens to all the other intermediate coverings? We give necessary conditions for these lifts to still be tight, and deduce some information about the fundamental groups of the possible Stein fillings of certain virtually overtwisted structures.

We investigate the existence of homotopy comoment maps (comoments) for high-dimensional spheres seen as multisymplectic manifolds. Especially, we solve the existence problem for compact effective group actions on spheres and provide explicit constructions for such comoments in interesting particular cases.

ECH capacities were developed by Hutchings to study embedding problems for symplectic $4$-manifolds with boundary. They have found especial success in the case of certain toric symplectic manifolds where many of the computations resemble calculations found in cohomology of $mathbb{Q}$-line bundles on toric varieties, or in lattice point counts for rational polytopes. We formalise this observation in the case of convex toric lattice domains $X_Omega$ by constructing a natural polarised toric variety $(Y_{Sigma(Omega)},D_Omega)$ containing the all the information of the ECH capacities of $X_Omega$ in purely algebro-geometric terms. Applying the Ehrhart theory of the polytopes involved in this construction gives some new results in the combinatorialisation and asymptotics of ECH capacities for convex toric domains.

Let $mathcal{E}^3subset TM^n$ be a smooth $3$-distribution on a smooth manifold of dimension $n$ and $mathcal{W}subsetmathcal{E}$ a line field such that $[mathcal{W},mathcal{E}]subsetmathcal{E}$. Under some orientability hypothesis, we give a necessary condition for the existence of a plane field $mathcal{D}^2$ such that $mathcal{W}subsetmathcal{D}$ and $[mathcal{D},mathcal{D}]=mathcal{E}$. Moreover we study the case where a section of $mathcal{W}$ is non-singular Morse-Smale and we get a sufficient condition for the global existence of $mathcal{D}$. As a corollary we get conditions for a non-singular vector field $W$ on a $3$-manifold to be Legendrian for a contact structure $mathcal{D}$. Similarly with these techniques we can study when an even contact structure $mathcal{E}subset TM^4$ is induced by an Engel structure $mathcal{D}$.

For $1$-dimensional Legendrian submanifolds of $1$-jet spaces, we extend the functorality of the Legendrian contact homology DG-algebra (DGA) from embedded exact Lagrangian cobordisms, as in cite{EHK}, to a class of immersed exact Lagrangian cobordisms by considering their Legendrian lifts as conical Legendrian cobordisms. To a conical Legendrian cobordism $Sigma$ from $Lambda_-$ to $Lambda_+$, we associate an immersed DGA map, which is a diagram $$alg(Lambda_+) stackrel{f}{rightarrow} alg(Sigma) stackrel{i}{hookleftarrow} alg(Lambda_-), $$ where $f$ is a DGA map and $i$ is an inclusion map. This construction gives a functor between suitably defined categories of Legendrians with immersed Lagrangian cobordisms and DGAs with immersed DGA maps. In an algebraic preliminary, we consider an analog of the mapping cylinder construction in the setting of DG-algebras and establish several of its properties. As an application we give examples of augmentations of Legendrian twist knots that can be induced by an immersed filling with a single double point but cannot be induced by any orientable embedded filling.

Given a two-variable invertible polynomial, we show that its category of maximally-graded matrix factorisations is quasi-equivalent to the Fukaya-Seidel category of its Berglund-Hubsch transpose. This was previously shown for Brieskorn-Pham and $D$-type singularities by Futaki-Ueda. The proof involves explicit construction of a tilting object on the B-side, and comparison with a specific basis of Lefschetz thimbles on the A-side.

We apply a local systolic-diastolic inequality for contact forms and odd-symplectic forms on three-manifolds to bound the magnetic length of closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature (also known as magnetic geodesics) on an oriented closed surface. Our results hold when the prescribed curvature is either close to a Zoll one or large enough.

We provide a moment map interpretation for the coupled K"ahler-Einstein equations introduced by Hultgren and Witt Nystr"om, and in the process introduce a more general system of equations, which we call coupled cscK equations. A differentio-geometric formulation of the corresponding Futaki invariant is obtained and a notion of K-polystability is defined for this new system. Finally, motivated by a result of Sz'ekelyhidi, we prove that if there is a solution to our equations, then small K-polystable perturbations of the underlying complex structure and polarizations also admit coupled cscK metrics.
