Nearly Lefschetz fibrations, Stein structures, and regular Lagrangians
Joseph Breen, Agniva Roy, Luya Wang
We study Stein structures on nearly Lefschetz fibrations, with applications to symplectic and Lagrangian submanifolds in Weinstein domains. We prove that, up to Weinstein deformati…
Decompositions and diagrams of symplectic surfaces in Weinstein domains
Román Aranda, Patricia Cahn, Agniva Roy +1
We introduce combinatorial and diagrammatic methods for representing properly embedded symplectic surfaces in 4-dimensional Weinstein domains. We show that positive ascending surfa…
Regular Lagrangians in Lefschetz fibrations
Joseph Breen, Agniva Roy, Luya Wang
We characterize regularity of Lagrangian submanifolds in Weinstein Lefschetz fibrations, establishing a conjecture of Giroux and Pardon. Our main result is the Weinstein analogue o…
Legendrian doubles, twist spuns, and clusters
James Hughes, Agniva Roy
Let be a Legendrian link in standard contact , such that , are two exact fillings of and is a Legendrian loop of . We study fillability and…
Spinal open books and symplectic fillings with exotic fibers
Hyunki Min, Agniva Roy, Luya Wang
Spinal open book decompositions provide a natural generalization of open book decompositions. We show that any minimal symplectic filling of a contact 3-manifold supported by a pla…
Anchored symplectic embeddings
Michael Hutchings, Agniva Roy, Morgan Weiler +1
Given two four-dimensional symplectic manifolds, together with knots in their boundaries, we define an ``anchored symplectic embedding'' to be a symplectic embedding, together with…
Small symplectic caps and embeddings of homology balls in the complex projective plane
John B. Etnyre, Hyunki Min, Lisa Piccirillo +1
We present a handlebody construction of small symplectic caps, and hence of small closed symplectic 4-manifolds. We use this to construct handlebody descriptions of symplectic embe…
Random clique complex process inside the critical window
Agniva Roy, D Yogeshwaran
We consider the random clique complex process - the process of clique complexes induced by the complete graph with i.i.d. Uniform edge weights. We investigate the evolution of the…
Constructions and Isotopies of High-Dimensional Legendrian Spheres
Agniva Roy
We explore the construction of Legendrian spheres in contact manifolds of any dimension. Two constructions involving open books work in any contact manifold, while one introduced b…
Symplectic fillings and cobordisms of lens spaces
John B. Etnyre, Agniva Roy
We complete the classification of symplectic fillings of tight contact structures on lens spaces. In particular, we show that any symplectic filling of a virtually overtwisted…
