We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $M \times M$ which are…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a symplectic manifold and $U\subseteq M$ an open subset. We study the natural inclusion of the compactly supported Hamiltonian group of $U$ in the compactly supported Hamiltonian group of $M$. The main result is an upper…

Stefan M$\ddot{\mathrm{u}}$ller posed the problem "Do Hofer's metrics on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism and the one of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms (Hameomorphisms) correspond?". Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact exact symplectic…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-manifold of $\operatorname{Ric}_M\ge (n-1)H$ ($H$ is a constant). We are concerned with the following space form rigidity: $M$ is isometric to a space form of constant curvature $H$ under either of the following…

In this paper, I shall demonstrate that sufficiently high-dimensional closed positively-curved Riemannian manifolds are either diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or isometric to a locally compact rank one symmetric space. This…

We prove the following: 1. Let epsilon>0 and let S_1,S_2 be two closed hyperbolic surfaces. Then there exists locally-isometric covers S'_i of S_i (for i=1,2) such that there is a (1+\epsilon) bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism between S'_1 and…

For a class of Riemannian manifolds that include products of arbitrary compact manifolds with manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature on the one hand, or with certain positive-curvature examples such as spheres of dimension at least 3…

This paper studies the geometry of the group of all co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact cosymplectic manifold $(M, \omega, \eta)$. The fix-point theory for co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is studied, and we use Arnold's conjecture to…

In this note we show that one open four dimensional ellipsoid embeds symplectically into another if and only the ECH capacities of the first are no larger than those of the second. This proves a conjecture due to Hofer. The argument uses…

The group $Ham(M,\omega)$ of all Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ plays a central role in symplectic geometry. This group is endowed with the Hofer metric. In this paper we study two aspects of the geometry…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

An analogue of the Hofer metric $\varrho_H$ on the Hamiltonian group $Ham(M,\Lambda)$ of a Poisson manifold $(M,\Lambda)$ can be defined but there is the problem of its non-degeneracy. First we observe that $\varrho_H$ is a genuine metric…

Based on a well known Sh.-T. Yau theorem we obtain that the real part of a holomorphic function on a K\"{a}hler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded from below by $-1$ is contractive with respect to the distance on the manifold and the…

In this paper, we treat an open problem related to the number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed symplectic manifolds, so-called generic Conley conjecture. Generic Conley conjecture states that generically…

The main theme of the paper is the dynamics of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^n$ with the minimal possible number of periodic points (equal to $n+1$ by Arnold's conjecture), called here Hamiltonian pseudo-rotations.…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface equipped with an area form. There is an long standing open question by Katok, which, in particular, asks whether every entropy-zero Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a surface lies in the $C^0$-closure of the…

We prove that for a certain class of closed monotone symplectic manifolds any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with a hyperbolic fixed point must necessarily have infinitely many periodic orbits. Among the manifolds in this class are complex…

We construct a family of probability measures on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. We show that these measures are Borel measures with respect to the topology induced by the Hofer metric.…

The Hopf sign conjecture states that a compact Riemannian 2d-manifold M of positive curvature has Euler characteristic X(M)>0 and that in the case of negative curvature X(M) (-1)^d >0. The Hopf product conjecture asks whether a positive…

We show that a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a closed symplectic manifold which is symplectically aspherical has at least the stable Morse number of fixed points - this is in line with a conjecture by Arnold.
