Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is…

In this note we prove that if a closed monotone symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian pseudo-rotation, which may be degenerate, then the quantum Steenrod square of the cohomology class Poincar\'{e} dual to the point must be deformed.…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the length minimizing property of Hamiltonian paths on closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ such that there are no spherical homology class $A \in H_2(M)$ with $$ \omega(A) > 0 \quad \text{and}…

In the context of symplectic dynamics, pseudo-rotations are Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms with finite and minimal possible number of periodic orbits. These maps are of interest in both dynamics and symplectic topology. We show that a closed,…

We show that a small neighborhood of a closed symplectic submanifold in a geometrically bounded aspherical symplectic manifold has non-vanishing symplectic homology. As a consequence, we establish the existence of contractible closed…

We study Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic Euclidean spaces that are equal to non-degenerate linear maps at infinity. Under the assumption that there exists an isolated homologically nontrivial fixed point satisfying the twist…

In the 1960s Arnold conjectured that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed connected symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ should have at least as many contractible fixed points as a smooth function on $M$ has critical points. Such a…

We show that positive $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology is a contact invariant for a subclass of contact manifolds which are boundaries of Liouville domains. In nice cases, when the set of Conley-Zehnder indices of all good periodic…

We use symplectic tools to establish a smooth variant of Franks theorem for a closed orientable surface of positive genus $g$; it implies that a symplectic diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity with more than $2g-2$ fixed points, counted…

We prove that every Reeb flow on a closed connected three-manifold has either two or infinitely many simple periodic orbits, assuming that the associated contact structure has torsion first Chern class. As a special case, we prove a…

We prove that an asymptotically linear Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of the standard symplectic vector space, which is non-degenerate and unitary at infinity and approaches its linear map at infinity quickly enough, has infinitely many…

We establish a cosymplectic counterpart of Banyaga's theorem by proving that the group of weakly Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, $\Ham_{\eta,\omega}(M)$, is simple on any closed cosymplectic manifold. A key structural result, derived from Lie…
