Recent Advances in Symplectic Flexibility
نویسنده
چکیده
Flexible and rigid methods coexisted in symplectic topology from its inception. While the rigid methods dominated the development of the subject during the last three decades, the balance has somewhat shifted to the flexible side in the last three years. In the talk we survey the recent advances in symplectic flexibility in the work of S. Borman, K. Cieliebak, T. Ekholm, E. Murphy, I. Smith, and the author. This survey article is an expanded version of author’s article [27] and his talk at the Current Events Bulletin at the AMS meeting in Baltimore in January 2014. It also uses materials from the papers [6, 9, 20, 32] and the book [8].

The Curvature and the Integrability of Almost-kähler Manifolds: a Survey
Situated at the intersection of Riemannian, symplectic and complex geometry, Kähler geometry is a subject that has been intensively studied in the past halfcentury. The overlap of just Riemannian and symplectic geometry is thewider area of almost-Kähler geometry. Although problems specific to almost-Kähler geometry have been considered in the past (see e.g. [42, 44, 77]), it is fair to say that...

متن کاملSpectral Flexibility of Symplectic Manifolds T 2 ×
We consider Riemannian metrics compatible with the natural symplectic structure on T 2×M , where T 2 is a symplectic 2-Torus and M is a closed symplectic manifold. To each such metric we attach the corresponding Laplacian and consider its first positive eigenvalue λ1. We show that λ1 can be made arbitrarily large by deforming the metric structure, keeping the symplectic structure fixed. The con...

متن کاملOn symplectic folding
We study the rigidity and flexibility of symplectic embeddings of simple shapes. It is first proved that under the condition r n ≤ 2r 1 the symplectic ellipsoid E(r1, . . . , rn) with radii r1 ≤ · · · ≤ rn does not embed in a ball of radius strictly smaller than rn. We then use symplectic folding to see that this condition is sharp and to construct some nearly optimal embeddings of ellipsoids a...
