Abstract

We study the action of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact symplectic manifold (X,ωX,\omega) on C(X)C^\infty(X) and on functions C(X)RC^\infty(X)\to \mathbb R. We describe various properties of invariant convex functions on C(X)C^\infty(X). Among other things we show that continuous convex functions C(X)RC^\infty(X)\to \mathbb R that are invariant under the action are automatically invariant under so called strict rearrangements and they are continuous in the sup norm topology of C(X)C^\infty(X); but this is not generally true if the convexity condition is dropped.

Comments

In addition to cosmetic changes, Definition 5.1 has been corrected. The correction led to a simplification in the proof of Theorem 5.2
