Title Closed orbits of dynamically convex Reeb flows
Speaker, Affiliation Erman Çineli, ETH

Location HG G 43
Abstract In this talk we will discuss two results on the multiplicity problem for prime closed orbits of dynamically convex Reeb flows on the boundary of a star-shaped domain in R2n. The first result asserts that such a flow has at least n prime closed Reeb orbits, improving the previously known lower bound by a factor of two. The second main theorem is that when, in addition, the domain is centrally symmetric and the Reeb flow is non-degenerate, the flow has either exactly n or infinitely many prime closed orbits. This is a joint work with Basak Gurel and Viktor Ginzburg.

Title Singular polarizations of open symplectic 4-manifolds, with applications

Abstract Twenty five years ago, Paul Biran introduced polarizations of closed symplectic manifolds and showed that their Lagrangian skeleta exhibit remarkable rigidity properties. He in particular found that their complements contain only small balls. I will introduce similar polarizations of certain open 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds. This leads to several symplectic embedding results, that in turn lead to new Lagrangian non-removable intersections and a novel phenomenon of Legendrian barriers. For instance, given any connected symplectic 4-manifold $(M,\omega)$ and a 4-ball of smaller volume, their exists an explicit finite union of Lagrangian discs in the 4-ball such that their complement symplectically embeds into~$(M,\omega)$, extending a result by Sackel--Song--Varolgunes--Zhu and Brendel. Other applications are new Lagrangian intersection results and relative versions of the Arnold chord conjecture. The talk will be non-technical and focus on the geometric constructions. This is joint work with Emmanuel Opshtein.
