This ebook offers an advent to symplectic box thought, a brand new and critical topic that's at the moment being built. the start line of this concept are compactness effects for holomorphic curves verified within the final decade. the writer provides a scientific advent supplying loads of heritage fabric, a lot of that is scattered through the literature. because the content material grew out of lectures given through the writer, the most objective is to supply an access aspect into symplectic box thought for non-specialists and for graduate scholars. Extensions of yes compactness effects, that are believed to be actual through the experts yet haven't but been released within the literature intimately, fill up the scope of this monograph.

The Hypoelliptic Laplacian and Ray-Singer Metrics
This e-book provides the analytic foundations to the idea of the hypoelliptic Laplacian. The hypoelliptic Laplacian, a second-order operator performing on the cotangent package deal of a compact manifold, is meant to interpolate among the classical Laplacian and the geodesic circulation. Jean-Michel Bismut and Gilles Lebeau determine the elemental sensible analytic homes of this operator, that's additionally studied from the viewpoint of neighborhood index conception and analytic torsion.
This e-book provides the 1st steps of a concept of confoliations designed to hyperlink geometry and topology of third-dimensional touch buildings with the geometry and topology of codimension-one foliations on three-d manifolds. constructing virtually independently, those theories before everything look belonged to 2 diversified worlds: the speculation of foliations is a part of topology and dynamical structures, whereas touch geometry is the odd-dimensional 'brother' of symplectic geometry.

3, [74] pp. 83–85). Consider now a hexagon G ⊂ H with sides a1 , b1 , a2 , b2 , a3 , b3 parameterized on the unit interval [0, 1]. Let now G′ := {x + iy ∈ C | x − iy ∈ G} be a copy of G in the negative half-plane H − . Denote the corresponding sides by a1′ , b1′ , a2′ , b2′ , a3′ , b3′ . We equip H − with the complex structure −i and the metric y −2 geucl . We construct a surface Y by identifying the points ak (t) with ak′ (t) for k = 1, 2, 3 and 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 (see Fig. 9). The complex structures i on G and −i on G′ fit together.
There is exactly one such geodesic for each x. The function x → dist α3 (x), α2 , x ≥ sup Re(α2 ) is strictly monotone increasing (show this as an exercise). We choose x in such a way that dist(α3 (x), α2 ) = ℓ2 . Then x and α3 (x) are uniquely determined by ℓ2 and α2 . 31). If ℓ2 = 0 then we choose x = sup Re(α2 ) and b2 = {x}. Let now b3 be the shortest geodesic segment connecting the point α3 ∩ Γ with the imaginary axis. By construction of Γ , we already have ℓ(b3 ) = ℓ3 . In the case where ℓ3 = 0 the ray Γ coincides with iR+ .
52 Let Y be a pair of pants with boundary components γ1 , γ2 , γ3 and lengths ℓ(γ1 ), ℓ(γ2 ), ℓ(γ3 ) ≥ 0. Then ℓ(γ1 ), ℓ(γ2 ), ℓ(γ3 ) determine Y up to isometry. e. the lengths ℓ1 , ℓ2 , ℓ3 of the sides b1 , b2 , b3 determine G uniquely up to orientation preserving isometry. Indeed, any pair of pants can be obtained by gluing two congruent hexagons together along three of their geodesic boundary segments. We will give an explicit geometric construction of a hexagon with prescribed lengths for b1 , b2 , b3 , and this construction leads to a unique hexagon up to isometry (see Fig.
