Abstract

Given an open neighborhood WW of the zero section in the cotangent bundle of NN we define a distance-like function ρW\rho_W on NN using certain symplectic embeddings from the standard ball B2n(r)B^{2n}(r) to WW. We show that when WW is the unit disc-cotangent bundle of a Riemannian metric on NN, ρW\rho_W recovers the metric. As an intermediate step, we give a new construction of the ball of capacity 4 to the product of Lagrangian discs PL:=Bn(1)×Bn(1)P_L := B^n(1)\times B^n(1), and we give a new proof of the strong Viterbo conjecture about normalized capacities for PLP_L. We also give bounds of the symplectic packing number of two balls in a unit disc-cotangent bundle relative to the zero section NN.
