Abstract

Given a symplectic surface (Σ,ω)(\Sigma, \omega) of genus g4g \ge 4, we show that the free group with two generators embeds into every asymptotic cone of (Ham(Σ,ω),dH)(\mathrm{Ham}(\Sigma, \omega), d_\mathrm{H}), where dHd_\mathrm{H} is the Hofer metric. The result stabilizes to products with symplectically aspherical manifolds.
