Abstract
We construct an embedding of into , the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a suitable closed symplectic manifold . We then prove that is in fact a quasi-isometry. After imposing further assumptions on , we adapt our methods to construct a similar embedding of into either or , the universal cover of . Along the way, we prove results related to the filtered Floer chain complexes of radially symmetric Hamiltonians. Our proofs rely heavily on a continuity result for barcodes (as presented in the work of M. Usher and J. Zhang) associated to filtered Floer homology viewed as a persistence module.
