Submanifold averaging in Riemannian and symplectic geometry

Marco Zambon (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give a canonical construction of an “isotropic average” of given C 1 -close isotropic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold. For this purpose we use an improvement (obtained in collaboration with H. Karcher) of Weinstein’s submanifold averaging theorem and apply “Moser’s trick”. We also present an application to Hamiltonian group actions.

On some completions of the space of hamiltonian maps

Vincent Humilière (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

In one of his papers, C. Viterbo defined a distance on the set of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of ℝ 2 n endowed with the standard symplectic form ω 0 = d p ∧ d q . We study the completions of this space for the topology induced by Viterbo’s distance and some others derived from it, we study their different inclusions and give some of their properties. In particular, we give a convergence criterion for these distances that allows us to prove that the completions contain non-ordinary elements, as for example,...

Characterization of diffeomorphisms that are symplectomorphisms

Stanisław Janeczko, Zbigniew Jelonek (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let ( X , ω X ) and ( Y , ω Y ) be compact symplectic manifolds (resp. symplectic manifolds) of dimension 2n > 2. Fix 0 < s < n (resp. 0 < k ≤ n) and assume that a diffeomorphism Φ : X → Y maps all 2s-dimensional symplectic submanifolds of X to symplectic submanifolds of Y (resp. all isotropic k-dimensional tori of X to isotropic tori of Y). We prove that in both cases Φ is a conformal symplectomorphism, i.e., there is a constant c ≠0 such that Φ * ω Y = c ω X .

Robust transitivity in hamiltonian dynamics

Meysam Nassiri, Enrique R. Pujals (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

A goal of this work is to study the dynamics in the complement of KAM tori with focus on non-local robust transitivity. We introduce C r open sets ( r = 1 , 2 , ⋯ , ∞ ) of symplectic diffeomorphisms and Hamiltonian systems, exhibitingrobustly transitive sets. We show that the C ∞ closure of such open sets contains a variety of systems, including so-called unstable integrable systems. In addition, the existence of ergodic measures with large support is obtained for all those systems. A main ingredient of the...

Hofer’s metrics and boundary depth

Michael Usher (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We show that if ( M , ω ) is a closed symplectic manifold which admits a nontrivial Hamiltonian vector field all of whose contractible closed orbits are constant, then Hofer’s metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of  ( M , ω ) has infinite diameter, and indeed admits infinite-dimensional quasi-isometrically embedded normed vector spaces. A similar conclusion applies to Hofer’s metric on various spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds, including those Hamiltonian-isotopic to the diagonal in  M × M ...

𝒞 0 -rigidity of characteristics in symplectic geometry

Emmanuel Opshtein (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

The paper concerns a 𝒞 0 -rigidity result for the characteristic foliations in symplectic geometry. A symplectic homeomorphism (in the sense of Eliashberg-Gromov) which preserves a smooth hypersurface also preserves its characteristic foliation.

Special Lagrangian linear subspaces in product symplectic space

Małgorzata Mikosz (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The notes consist of a study of special Lagrangian linear subspaces. We will give a condition for the graph of a linear symplectomorphism f : ( ℝ 2 n , σ = ∑ i = 1 n d x i ∧ d y i ) → ( ℝ 2 n , σ ) to be a special Lagrangian linear subspace in ( ℝ 2 n × ℝ 2 n , ω = π * ₂ σ - π * ₁ σ ) . This way a special symplectic subset in the symplectic group is introduced. A stratification of special Lagrangian Grassmannian S Λ 2 n ≃ S U ( 2 n ) / S O ( 2 n ) is defined.

Projective structure, SL ˜ ( 3 , ℝ ) and the symplectic Dirac operator

Marie Holíková, Libor Křižka, Petr Somberg (2016)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Inspired by the results on symmetries of the symplectic Dirac operator, we realize symplectic spinor fields and the symplectic Dirac operator in the framework of (the double cover of) homogeneous projective structure in two real dimensions. The symmetry group of the homogeneous model of the double cover of projective geometry in two real dimensions is ˜ ( 3 , ) .

Fano manifolds of degree ten and EPW sextics

Atanas Iliev, Laurent Manivel (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

O’Grady showed that certain special sextics in ℙ 5 called EPW sextics admit smooth double covers with a holomorphic symplectic structure. We propose another perspective on these symplectic manifolds, by showing that they can be constructed from the Hilbert schemes of conics on Fano fourfolds of degree ten. As applications, we construct families of Lagrangian surfaces in these symplectic fourfolds, and related integrable systems whose fibers are intermediate Jacobians.
