New obstructions to symplectic embeddings
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we establish new restrictions on symplectic embeddings of certain convex domains into symplectic vector spaces. These restrictions are stronger than those implied by the Ekeland-Hofer capacities. By refining an embedding technique due to Guth, we also show that they are sharp.

Some optimal embeddings of symplectic ellipsoids
We construct symplectic embeddings in dimension 2n ≥ 6 of ellipsoids into the product of a 4-ball or 4-dimensional cube with Euclidean space. A sequence of the embeddings are seen to be optimal by a quantitative version of the embedding obstructions introduced in [8]. In the limiting case when our ellipsoids approach a cylinder we recover an embedding of Guth, [7]. However for compact ellipsoid...
متن کاملThe Künneth Formula in Floer Homology for Manifolds with Restricted Contact Type Boundary
We prove the Künneth formula in Floer (co)homology for manifolds with restricted contact type boundary. We use Viterbo’s definition of Floer homology, involving the symplectic completion by adding a positive cone over the boundary. The Künneth formula implies the vanishing of Floer (co)homology for subcritical Stein manifolds. Other applications include the Weinstein conjecture in certain produ...
متن کاملRecent progress on symplectic embedding problems in four dimensions.
We survey some recent progress on understanding when one four-dimensional symplectic manifold can be symplectically embedded into another. In 2010, McDuff established a number-theoretic criterion for the existence of a symplectic embedding of one four-dimensional ellipsoid into another. This result is related to previously known criteria for when a disjoint union of balls can be symplectically ...
متن کاملEmbedded contact homology and its applications
Embedded contact homology (ECH) is a kind of Floer homology for contact three-manifolds. Taubes has shown that ECH is isomorphic to a version of Seiberg-Witten Floer homology (and both are conjecturally isomorphic to a version of Heegaard Floer homology). This isomorphism allows information to be transferred between topology and contact geometry in three dimensions. In the present article we fi...
متن کاملSymplectic Embedding Problems, Old and New
We describe old and new motivations to study symplectic embedding problems, and we discuss a few of the many old and the many new results on symplectic embeddings.
