We find an upper bound for the Gromov width of coadjoint orbits of U(n) with respect to the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic form by computing certain Gromov-Witten invariants. The approach presented here is closely related to the one…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group G and T its maximal torus. The coadjoint orbit O_lambda through lambda in Lie(T)^* is canonically a symplectic manifold. Therefore we can ask the question about its Gromov width. In many known cases…

We prove that the Gromov width of coadjoint orbits of the symplectic group is at least equal to the upper bound known from the works of Zoghi and Caviedes. This establishes the actual Gromov width. Our work relies on a toric degeneration of…

We use the Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern to construct an effective Hamiltonian, completely integrable action of a torus T on an open dense subset of a coadjoint orbit of the unitary group. We then identify a proper Hamiltonian T-manifold centered…

We find bounds for the Hofer-Zehnder capacity of coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups with respect to the Kostant--Kirillov--Souriau symplectic form in terms of the combinatorics of their Bruhat graph. We show that our bounds are sharp…

We provide an upper bound for the genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants of projective space relative to its toric boundary. The upper bound is polynomial in the contact orders, with degree depending on the number of marked points.…

We give an explicit formula for the Gromov width for a class of symplectic toric manifolds constructed from simple graphs. As a corollary, we show a version of non-squeezing theorem with respect to the inclusion of connected graphs.

The Gromov width of a uniruled projective K\"ahler manifold can be bounded from above by the symplectic area of its minimal curves. We apply this result to toric varieties and thus get in this case upper bounds expressed in toric…

We construct a Gelfand-Zeitlin system on a one-parameter family of $G_2$ coadjoint orbits that are multiplicity-free Hamiltonian $SU(3)$-spaces. Using this system we prove a lower bound for the Gromov width of these orbits. This lower bound…

We show that the Gromov width of the Grassmannian of complex k-planes in C^n is equal to one when the symplectic form is normalized so that it generates the integral cohomology in degree 2. We deduce the lower bound from more general…

Consider a compact Lie group and a closed subgroup. Generalizing a result of Klyachko, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a coadjoint orbit of the subgroup to be contained in the projection of a given coadjoint orbit of the…

Gromov's band-width conjecture gives a precise upper bound for the width of a compact Riemannian band with positive scalar curvature lower bound, assuming that the cross-section of the band admits no positive scalar curvature metrics.…

Let G denote a closed, connected, self adjoint, noncompact subgroup of GL(n,R), and let d_{R} denote the canonical right invariant Riemannian metric on G. For v in R^{n} let G_{v} = {g in G : g(v) = v}. We obtain algebraically defined upper…
