Packing stability for irrational symplectic 4-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
The packing stability in symplectic geometry was first noticed by Biran [Bir97]: the symplectic obstructions to embed several balls into a manifold disappear when their size is small enough. This phenomenon is known to hold for all closed manifolds with rational symplectic class (see [Bir99] for the 4-dimensional case, and [BH11, BH13] for higher dimensions), as well as ellipsoids [BH13]. In this note, we show that packing stability holds for any closed, and several open, symplectic 4-manifolds.

A ug 2 00 1 Symplectic genus , minimal genus and diffeomorphisms
In this paper, the symplectic genus for any 2−dimensional class in a 4−manifold admitting a symplectic structure is introduced, and its relation with the minimal genus is studied. It is used to describe which classes in rational and irrational ruled manifolds are realized by connected symplectic surfaces. In particular, we completely determine which classes with square at least −1 in such manif...
متن کاملToric symplectic ball packing
We define and solve the toric version of the symplectic ball packing problem, in the sense of listing all 2n-dimensional symplectic–toric manifolds which admit a perfect packing by balls embedded in a symplectic and torus equivariant fashion. In order to do this we first describe a problem in geometric–combinatorics which is equivalent to the toric symplectic ball packing problem. Then we solve...
متن کاملMaximal ball packings of symplectic-toric manifolds
Let (M, σ, ψ) be a symplectic-toric manifold of dimension at least four. This paper investigates the symplectic ball packing problem in the toral equivariant setting. We show that the set of toric symplectic ball packings of M admits the structure of a convex polytope. Previous work of the first author shows that up to equivalence, only (CP)2 and CP admit density one packings when n = 2 and onl...
متن کاملExamples That the Strong Lefschetz Property Does Not Survive Symplectic Reduction
In this paper we construct a family of six-dimensional compact non-Kähler Hamiltonian S-manifolds, each of which satisfies the strong Lefschetz property itself but nevertheless has a non-Lefschetz symplectic quotient. This provides the first known counter examples to the question whether the strong Lefschetz property descends to the symplectic quotient. In addition we also show how to vary our ...
متن کاملSymplectic Rational Blowdowns
We prove that the rational blowdown, a surgery on smooth 4-manifolds introduced by Fintushel and Stern, can be performed in the symplectic category. As a consequence, interesting families of smooth 4-manifolds, including the exotic K3 surfaces of Gompf and Mrowka, admit symplectic structures. A basic problem in symplectic topology is to understand what smooth manifolds admit a symplectic struct...
