First, we will consider counting Hamiltonian torus actions on closed, symplectic manifolds M with 2-dimensional second cohomology. In particular, all such manifolds are bundles with fiber and base equal to projective spaces. We use cohomological techniques to show that there is a unique toric structure if the fiber has a smaller dimension than the base. Furthermore, if the fiber and base are both at least 2-dimensional projective spaces, we show that there is a finite number of toric structures on M that are compatible with some symplectic structure on M. Additionally, we show there is uniqueness in certain other cases, such as the case where M is a monotone symplectic manifold. Finally, we will be interested in the existence of symplectic, non-Hamiltonian circle actions on closed symplectic 6-manifolds. In particular, we will use J-holomorphic curve techniques to show that there are no such actions that satisfy certain fixed point conditions. This lends support to the conjecture that there are no such actions with a non-empty set of isolated fixed points.","abstract_html":"In this thesis, we will study the properties of certain Hamiltonian torus actions on closed symplectic manifolds.
