Topological symplectic manifolds and bi-Lipschitz structures

Symplectic Geometry 2026-03-10 v1

Abstract

We show that a topological symplectic manifold has a canonically associated bi-Lipschitz structure. As a corollary, we obtain the first examples of non-existence and non-uniqueness for topological symplectic structures. Our arguments hold for any topological manifold admitting an atlas with transition maps that are C0C^0--limits of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms.
