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…

The symplectic Zoll property of smooth convex domains in the classical phase space has been extensively studied in recent years and, in particular, has been shown to detect local maximizers of the systolic ratio. We propose a dynamical…

We show that many toric domains $X$ in $R^4$ admit symplectic embeddings $\phi$ into dilates of themselves which are knotted in the strong sense that there is no symplectomorphism of the target that takes $\phi(X)$ to $X$. For instance $X$…

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…

In this note we study the behavior of symplectic capacities of convex domains in the classical phase space with respect to symplectic $p$-products. As an application, by using a "tensor power trick", we show that it is enough to prove the…

We give a combinatorial description of the embedded contact complex (ECC) of a certain family of contact toric lens spaces that we call concave lens spaces. We also define a notion of a concave toric domain that generalizes the usual…

The Rotating Kepler Problem (RKP) arises as a fundamental model in celestial mechanics, appearing as a limiting case of the circular restricted three-body problem. It offers a tractable yet rich framework for studying periodic orbits,…

Quite recently, McDuff showed that the existence of a symplectic embedding of one four-dimensional ellipsoid into another can be established by comparing their corresponding sequences of ECH capacities. In this note we show that these…

We introduce the concept of pseudo symplectic capacities which is a mild generalization of that of symplectic capacities. As a generalization of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity we construct a Hofer-Zehnder type pseudo symplectic capacity and…

We propose a general framework, within which we prove that several properties, such as the fast growth of the number of periodic points, the universality, and the high emergence, hold true for every parameter value for a generic…

By definition, a toric domain has a boundary contact manifold diffeomorphic to a three dimensional sphere. In the present work we extend the definition of the toric domains in dimension four so that it admits a contact manifold…

The third named author has been developing a theory of "higher" symplectic capacities. These capacities are invariant under taking products, and so are well-suited for studying the stabilized embedding problem. The aim of this note is to…

We introduce the notion of a symplectic capacity relative to a coisotropic submanifold of a symplectic manifold, and we construct two examples of such capacities through modifications of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity. As a consequence, we…

In a previous paper, the second author used embedded contact homology (ECH) of contact three-manifolds to define "ECH capacities" of four-dimensional symplectic manifolds. In the present paper we prove that for a four-dimensional Liouville…

Two commuting symplectomorphisms of a symplectic manifold give rise to actions on Floer cohomologies of each other. We prove the elliptic relation saying that the supertraces of these two actions are equal. In the case when a…

We explicitly construct a symplectomorphism that relates magnetic twists to the invariant hyperk\"ahler structure of the tangent bundle of a Hermitian symmetric space. This symplectomorphism reveals foliations by (pseudo-) holomorphic…

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 symplectic geometry, symplectic invariants are useful tools in studying symplectic phenomena. Hofer-Zehnder capacity and displacement energy are important symplectic invariants. Usher proved the so-called sharp energy-capacity inequality…

In this paper we continue the study of symplectically self-polar convex bodies started in arXiv:2211.14630. We construct symplectically self-polar convex bodies of the minimal Ekeland-Hofer-Zehnder capacity. This in turn proves that the…
