Symplectic embedding of thin discs into a ball

Takeo Nishinou (2004)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We perform symplectic embeddings of ‘thin’ discs into a small ball in arbitrary dimension, using the symplectic folding construction.

Symplectic Capacities in Manifolds

Alfred Künzle (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Symplectic capacities coinciding on convex sets in the standard symplectic vector space are extended to any subsets of symplectic manifolds. It is shown that, using embeddings of non-smooth convex sets and a product formula, calculations of some capacities become very simple. Moreover, it is proved that there exist such capacities which are distinct and that there are star-shaped domains diffeomorphic to the ball but not symplectomorphic to any convex set.

Toric structures on near-symplectic 4-manifolds

David T. Gay, Margaret Symington (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A near-symplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a closed 2-form that is symplectic away from the 1-dimensional submanifold along which it vanishes and that satisfies a certain transversality condition along this vanishing locus. We investigate near-symplectic 4-manifolds equipped with singular Lagrangian torus fibrations which are locally induced by effective Hamiltonian torus actions. We show how such a structure is completely characterized by a singular integral affine structure on...
