We present a counterexample to Viterbo's volume-capacity conjecture. This implies, in particular, that in contrast with a well-known conjecture, symplectic capacities do not coincide on the class of convex domains in the classical phase…

In this note, we show that the strong Viterbo conjecture holds true on any convex toric domain, and that the Viterbo's volume-capacity conjecture holds for the product of a $1$-unconditional convex body $A\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and its…

A strong version of a conjecture of Viterbo asserts that all normalized symplectic capacities agree on convex domains. We review known results showing that certain specific normalized symplectic capacities agree on convex domains. We also…

In this work we discuss a conjecture of Viterbo relating the symplectic capacity of a convex body and its volume. The conjecture states that among all 2n-dimensional convex bodies with a given volume the euclidean ball has maximal…

We use explicit pseudoholomorphic curve techniques (without virtual perturbations) to define a sequence of symplectic capacities analogous to those defined recently by the second named author using symplectic field theory. We then compute…

We prove that the cylindrical capacity of a dynamically convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^4$ agrees with the least symplectic area of a disk-like global surface of section of the Reeb flow on the boundary of the domain. Moreover, we prove the…

A long-standing conjecture states that all normalized symplectic capacities coincide on the class of convex subsets of ${\mathbb R}^{2n}$. In this note we focus on an asymptotic (in the dimension) version of this conjecture, and show that…

In this note we link symplectic and convex geometry by relating two seemingly different open conjectures: a symplectic isoperimetric-type inequality for convex domains, and Mahler's conjecture on the volume product of centrally symmetric…

In this paper we give concrete estimations for the pseudo symplectic capacities of toric manifolds in combinatorial data. Some examples are given to show that our estimates can compute their pseudo symplectic capacities. As applications we…

We prove that the non-squeezing theorem of Gromov holds for symplectomorphisms on an infinite-dimensional symplectic Hilbert space, under the assumption that the image of the ball is convex. The proof is based on the construction by duality…

In this work we bring together tools and ideology from two different fields, Symplectic Geometry and Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, to arrive at some new results. Our main result is a dimension-independent bound for the symplectic capacity…

In this note we study the expected value of certain symplectic capacities of randomly rotated centrally symmetric convex bodies in the classical phase space.

We use symplectic techniques to obtain partial results on Mahler's conjecture about the product of the volume of a convex body and the volume of its polar. We confirm the conjecture for hyperplane sections or projections of $\ell_p$-balls…

We study holomorphic spheres in certain symplectic cobordisms and derive information about periodic Reeb orbits in the concave end of these cobordisms from the non-compactness of the relevant moduli spaces. We use this to confirm the strong…

We introduce a new normalization condition for symplectic capacities, which we call cube normalization. This condition is satisfied by the Lagrangian capacity and the cube capacity. Our main result is an analogue of the strong Viterbo…

We present recursive formulas which compute the recently defined "higher symplectic capacities" for all convex toric domains. In the special case of four-dimensional ellipsoids, we apply homological perturbation theory to the associated…
