Almost toric symplectic four-manifolds

چکیده
Almost toric manifolds form a class of singular Lagrangian fibered symplectic manifolds that is a natural generalization of toric manifolds. Notable examples include the K3 surface, the phase space of the spherical pendulum and rational balls useful for symplectic surgeries. The main result of the paper is a complete classification up to diffeomorphism of closed almost toric four-manifolds. A key step in the proof is a geometric classification of the singular affine structures that can occur on the base of a closed almost toric four-manifold.

Four dimensions from two in symplectic topology
This paper introduces two-dimensional diagrams that are slight generalizations of moment map images for toric four-manifolds and catalogs techniques for reading topological and symplectic properties of a symplectic four-manifold from these diagrams. The paper offers a purely topological approach to toric manifolds as well as methods for visualizing other manifolds, including the K3 surface, and...
متن کاملNon-compact Symplectic Toric Manifolds
The paradigmatic result in symplectic toric geometry is the paper of Delzant that classifies compact connected symplectic manifolds with effective completely integrable torus actions, the so called (compact) symplectic toric manifolds. The moment map induces an embedding of the quotient of the manifold by the torus action into the dual of the Lie algebra of the torus; its image is a simple unim...
متن کاملTwisted Toric Structures
This paper introduces the notion of twisted toric manifolds which is a generalization of one of symplectic toric manifolds, and proves the weak Delzant type classification theorem for them. The computation methods for their fundamental groups, cohomology groups in general cases, and signatures in four-dimensional cases are also given.
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 کاملModuli spaces of toric manifolds
We construct a distance on the moduli space of symplectic toric manifolds of dimension four. Then we study some basic topological properties of this space, in particular, connectedness, compactness and completeness. The construction of the distance is related to the DuistermaatHeckman measure and the Hausdorff metric. While the moduli space, its topology and metric, may be constructed in any di...
