Abstract

In this paper, on the one hand, we prove that for n2n \geq 2 any subbundle of TTnT^* \mathbb T^n with bounded fibers symplectically embeds into a trivial subbundle of TTnT^* \mathbb T^n where the fiber is an irrational cylinder. This not only resolves an open problem in Gong-Xue's recent work (which was stated for the 4-dimension case, that is, n=2n =2) and also generalizes to any higher-dimensional situation. The proof is based on some version of Dirichlet's approximation theorem. On the other hand, we generalize a main result in Gong-Xue's work mentioned above, showing that any topologically trivial Liouville diffeomorphism on TMT^*M (for instance, a diffeomorphism induced by an isometry on MM) does not change the full marked length spectrum of a Finsler metric FF on MM, up to a lifting of the Finsler metric FF to the unit codisk bundle DFMD^*_FM. The proof is based on persistence module theory.

Final version; add Theorem C about the tilde "thin" cylinder (in dimension 3); shorten the proof of Proposition 2.1
