Non-autonomous curves on surfaces

Symplectic Geometry 2021-06-01 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

Consider a symplectic surface Σ\Sigma with two properly embedded Hamiltonian isotopic curves LL and LL'. Suppose gHam(Σ)g \in Ham (\Sigma) is a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism which sends LL to LL'. Which dynamical properties of gg can be detected by the pair (L,L)(L, L')? We discuss two cases where one can deduce that gg is `chaotic': non-autonomous or even of positive entropy.
