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 $Φ * ω_{Y} = c ω_{X}$ .

Moduli spaces of polarized irreducible symplectic manifolds are not necessarily connected

Apostol Apostolov (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that the moduli space of polarized irreducible symplectic manifolds of $K 3^{[n]}$ -type, of fixed polarization type, is not always connected. This can be derived as a consequence of Eyal Markman’s characterization of polarized parallel-transport operators of $K 3^{[n]}$ -type.

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.

$𝒞^{0}$ -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.

Symplectic periods of the continuous spectrum of $GL (2 n)$

Shunsuke Yamana (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We provide a formula for the symplectic period of an Eisenstein series on $GL (2 n)$ and determine when it is not identically zero.

A characterization of symplectic groups related to Fermat primes

Behnam Ebrahimzadeh, Alireza K. Asboei (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We proved that the symplectic groups $PSp (4, 2^{n})$ , where $2^{2 n} + 1$ is a Fermat prime number is uniquely determined by its order, the first largest element orders and the second largest element orders.

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 $f : (ℝ^{2 n}, σ = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} d x_{i} \land d y_{i}) \to (ℝ^{2 n}, σ)$ to be a special Lagrangian linear subspace in $(ℝ^{2 n} \times ℝ^{2 n}, ω = π * ₂ σ - π * ₁ σ)$ . 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, $\tilde{SL} (3, ℝ)$ 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 $\tilde{} (3,)$ .

Fundamental group of $Symp (M, ω)$ with no circle action

Jarek Kędra (2009)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We show that $π_{1} (Symp (M, ω))$ can be nontrivial for $M$ that does not admit any symplectic circle action.

Generalized Conley-Zehnder index

Jean Gutt (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The Conley-Zehnder index associates an integer to any continuous path of symplectic matrices starting from the identity and ending at a matrix which does not admit $1$ as an eigenvalue. Robbin and Salamon define a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index for any continuous path of symplectic matrices; this generalization is half integer valued. It is based on a Maslov-type index that they define for a continuous path of Lagrangians in a symplectic vector space $(W, \bar{Ω})$ , having chosen a given...

On compact homogeneous symplectic manifolds

P. B. Zwart, William M. Boothby (1980)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper the authors study compact homogeneous spaces $G / K$ (of a Lie group $G$ ) on which there if defined a $G$ -invariant symplectic form $Ω$ . It is an important feature of the paper that very little is assumed concerning $G$ and $K$ . The essential assumptions are: (1) $G$ is connected and (2) $K$ is uniform (i.e., $G / K$ is compact). Further, for convenience only and with no loss of generality, it is supposed that $G$ is simply connected and $K$ contains no connected normal subgroup of $G$ , i.e., that $G$ acts...
