| Minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the tangent bundle of a Riemann surface | ||
|
It is well known that the cotangent bundle of a surface S has a natural
symplectic structure and therefore hosts Lagrangian surfaces. On the other
hand, given a Riemann structure to S, it may be used to identify the cotangent
and tangent bundles of S. It has been recently observed that this Riemann
structure allows to define a pseudo Kähler structure on TS, which is
natural in the sense that it is compatible with the canonical symplectic
structure. Having a pseudo Kähler (and hence a pseudo metric) allows to
speak about the area of surface and therefore about minimal ones. In this talk
we shall give a classification of the minimal Lagrangian surfaces of TS.

| C0-rigidity of characteristics in symplectic geometry | ||
|
Gromov and Eliashberg have proved that the closure of the symplectic diffeomorphisms in the space of homeomorphisms is a proper subset of the volume preserving-homeomorphisms, hence giving birth to a C0 symplectic topology. In this talk, I will show that the characteristics of a hypersurface are invariants of this continuous symplectic geometry : if a symplectic homeomorphism sends a smooth hypersurface to another one, it must take the caracteristic of the source hypersurface
to the ones of the target. | ||

| The Conley conjecture for Tonelli systems | ||
| On a closed configuration space M, a time-periodic Lagrangian function L: R/Z × TM → R is called Tonelli when its restriction to any fiber of TM is superlinear with positive definite Hessian. In this talk I shall prove that, for any Tonelli Lagrangian with global Euler-Lagrange flow, the associated Euler-Lagrange system admits infinitely many periodic solutions. More precisely, I will show that there are infinitely many contractible periodic orbits with apriori bounded mean action and either infinitely many of them are 1-periodic or their basic period is unbounded. This result confirms the Conley conjecture for Tonelli Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of closed manifolds. |
