Exact Lagrangian tori in symplectic Milnor fibers constructed with fillings
We use exact Lagrangian fillings and Weinstein handlebody diagrams to construct infinitely many distinct exact Lagrangian tori in $4$-dimensional Milnor fibers of isolated hypersurface singularities with positive modality. We also provide a generalization of a criterion for when the symplectic homology of a Weinstein $4$-manifold is non-vanishing given an explicit Weinstein handlebody diagrams.

Worldsheet description of a massive type IIA superstring in 10D
We construct, following \cite{mpgm14,mpgm17}, a massive M2-brane (supermembrane) as the limit of a genus two M2-brane that becomes a twice punctured Riemann surface with particular boundary conditions on the fields defined on the punctures. The target space is $M_9\times LCD$, where $LCD$ is a genus one light cone diagram. It contains mass terms and a topological term associated with the non-triviality of the target surface that, at low energies, can be associated with the presence of a cosmolo…
