Abstract

The optimal density function assigns to each symplectic toric manifold MM a number 0<d10 < d \leq 1 obtained by considering the ratio between the maximum volume of MM which can be filled by symplectically embedded disjoint balls and the total symplectic volume of MM. In the toric version of this problem, MM is toric and the balls need to be embedded respecting the toric action on MM. The goal of this note is first to give a brief survey of the notion of toric symplectic manifold and the recent constructions of moduli space structure on them, and recall how to define a natural density function on this moduli space. Then we review previous works which explain how the study of the density function can be reduced to a problem in convex geometry, and use this correspondence to to give a simple description of the regions of continuity of the maximal density function when the dimension is 44.
