About 6 years ago, semitoric systems were classified by Pelayo & Vu Ngoc by means of five invariants. Standard examples are the coupled spin oscillator on $mathbb{S}^2 times mathbb{R}^2$ and coupled angular momenta on $mathbb{S}^2 times mathbb{S}^2$, both having exactly one focus-focus singularity. But so far there were no explicit examples of systems with more than one focus-focus singularity which are semitoric in the sense of that classification. This paper introduces a 6-parameter family of integrable systems on $mathbb{S}^2 times mathbb{S}^2$ and proves that, for certain ranges of the parameters, it is a compact semitoric system with precisely two focus-focus singularities. Since the twisting index (one of the semitoric invariants) is related to the relationship between different focus-focus points, this paper provides systems for the future study of the twisting index.

We classify, up to symplectomorphisms, a neighborhood of a singular fiber of an integrable system (which is proper and has connected fibers) containing $k > 1$ focus-focus critical points. Our result shows that there is a one-to-one correspondence between such neighborhoods and $k$ formal power series, up to a $(mathbb{Z}_2 times D_k)$-action, where $D_k$ is the $k$-th dihedral group. The $k$ formal power series determine the dynamical behavior of the Hamiltonian vector fields $X_{f_1}, X_{f_2}$ associated to the components $f_1, f_2 colon (M, omega) to mathbb{R}$ of the integrable system on the symplectic manifold $(M,omega)$ via the differential equation $omega(X_{f_i}, cdot) = mathop{}!mathrm{d} f_i$, near the singular fiber containing the $k$ focus-focus critical points. This proves a conjecture of San Vu Ngoc from 2002.
A semitoric integrable system $F=(J,H)$ on a symplectic $4$-manifold is simple if each fiber of $J$ contains at most one focus-focus critical point. Simple semitoric systems were classified about ten years ago by Pelayo-V~u Ngoc in terms of five invariants. In this paper we explain how the simplicity assumption can be removed from the classification by adapting the invariants.
This work is devoted to a systematic study of symplectic convexity for integrable Hamiltonian systems with elliptic and focus-focus singularities. A distinctive feature of these systems is that their base spaces are still smooth manifolds (with boundary and corners), similarly to the toric case, but their associated integral affine structures are singular, with non-trivial monodromy, due to focus singularities. We obtain a series of convexity results, both positive and negative, for such singular integral affine base spaces. In particular, near a focus singular point, they are locally convex and the local-global convexity principle still applies. They are also globally convex under some natural additional conditions. However, when the monodromy is sufficiently big then the local-global convexity principle breaks down, and the base spaces can be globally non-convex even for compact manifolds. As one of surprising examples, we construct a 2-dimensional integral affine black hole, which is locally convex but for which a straight ray from the center can never escape.
A symplectic semitoric manifold is a symplectic $4$-manifold endowed with a Hamiltonian $(S^1 times mathbb{R})$-action satisfying certain conditions. The goal of this paper is to construct a new symplectic invariant of symplectic semitoric manifolds, the helix, and give applications. The helix is a symplectic analogue of the fan of a nonsingular complete toric variety in algebraic geometry, that takes into account the effects of the monodromy near focus-focus singularities. We give two applications of the helix: first, we use it to give a classification of the minimal models of symplectic semitoric manifolds, where minimal is in the sense of not admitting any blowdowns. The second application is an extension to the compact case of a well known result of V~{u} Ngoc about the constraints posed on a symplectic semitoric manifold by the existence of focus-focus singularities. The helix permits to translate a symplectic geometric problem into an algebraic problem, and the paper describes a method to solve this type of algebraic problem.
Recently Pelayo-V~{u} Ngoc classified semitoric integrable systems in terms of five symplectic invariants. Using this classification we define a family of metrics on the space of semitoric integrable systems. The resulting metric space is incomplete and we construct the completion.
