Forschungsschwerpunkte
Meine aktuelle Forschung hat ihren Schwerpunkt in der
symplektischen Geometrie. Oft spielen dabei holomorphe Kurven als Werkzeug eine wichtige Rolle. Darüber hinaus gibt es diverse Querverbindungen zu Themen in der Differentialtopologie, der homologischen Algebra und in der Theorie der dynamischen Systeme.

Einige offene Fragen - Some open questions
I believe the following problems are open. If you think you can solve one or more of them, then please contact me. Some of these are probably hard. The collection is somewhat (but not completely) random, and severely restricted by the desire to formulate each problem in a single sentence. Not all of these problems are equally interesting, and their order has no significance that I am aware of:
-
Compute the Hofer-Zehnder capacity of the standard product tori of all even dimensions 2n>2!
-
Prove or disprove: The Hofer-Zehnder capacity of every compact Liouville domain is finite.
(The question seems open even for general disk cotangent bundles.)
-
Prove or disprove: If a connected sum of manifolds admits a Lagrangian embedding into R^2n, then at least one of the summands does, too.
(Note in higher dimensions this is slightly ambiguous, since the direct sum decomposition is not unique.)
-
What is the "correct" lower bound for the number of closed Reeb orbits in a quantitative Weinstein conjecture in arbitrary dimensions? Is it typically "infinity"?
-
Does there exist a contact form on a closed manifold admitting a fixed point free "anti-contact" involution (sending the form to its negative) with only finitely many closed Reeb orbits?
-
Find interesting obstructions to the existence of exact fillings of strongly fillable manifolds! Here "interesting" means that there should be (preferably higher-dimensional) examples where one can actually compute them...
