##### Article: The Calabi homomorphism, Lagrangian paths and special Lagrangians
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Let $\OO$ be an orbit of the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms acting on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(X,\omega).$ We define a functional $\CC:\OO \to \R$ for each differential form $\beta$ of middle degree satisfying $\beta \wedge \omega = 0$ and an exactness condition. If the exactness condition does not hold, $\CC$ is defined on the universal cover of $\OO.$ A particular instance of $\CC$ recovers the Calabi homomorphism. If $\beta$ is the imaginary part of a holomorphic volume form, the critical points of $\CC$ are special Lagrangian submanifolds. We present evidence that $\CC$ is related by mirror symmetry to a functional introduced by Donaldson to study Einstein-Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles. In particular, we show that $\CC$ is convex on an open subspace $\OO^+ \subset \OO.$ As a prerequisite, we define a Riemannian metric on $\OO^+$ and analyze its geodesics. Finally, we discuss a generalization of the flux homomorphism to the space of Lagrangian submanifolds, and a Lagrangian analog of the flux conjecture.

##### Article: Closed Reeb orbits on the sphere and symplectically degenerate maxima
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show that the existence of one simple closed Reeb orbit of a particular type (a symplectically degenerate maximum) forces the Reeb flow to have infinitely many periodic orbits. We use this result to give a different proof of a recent theorem of Cristofaro-Gardiner and Hutchings asserting that every Reeb flow on the standard contact three-sphere has at least two periodic orbits. Our methods are based on adapting the machinery originally developed for proving the Hamiltonian Conley conjecture to the contact setting.

##### Article: Enumerative meaning of mirror maps for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prove that the inverse of a mirror map for a toric Calabi-Yau manifold of the form $K_Y$, where $Y$ is a compact toric Fano manifold, can be expressed in terms of generating functions of genus 0 open Gromov-Witten invariants defined by Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono \cite{FOOO10}. Such a relation between mirror maps and disk counting invariants was first conjectured by Gross and Siebert \cite[Conjecture 0.2 and Remark 5.1]{GS11} as part of their program, and was later formulated in terms of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono's invariants in the toric Calabi-Yau case in \cite[Conjecture 1.1]{CLL12}.
