Abstract

Entov and Polterovich defined heaviness for closed subsets of a symplectic manifold by using the Hamiltonian Floer theory on contractible trajectories. Heavy subsets are known to be non-displaceable. In the present paper, we define a relative symplectic capacity C(M,X,R;e)C(M,X,R;e) for a symplectic manifold (M,ω)(M,\omega) and its subset XX which measures the existence of non-contractible trajectories of Hamiltonian isotopies on the product with annulus. We prove that C(M,X,R;e)C(M,X,R;e) is finite if (M,ω)(M,\omega) is monotone and XX is a heavy subset. We also prove that C(M,X,R;e)C(M,X,R;e) is infinite if XX is a displaceable compact subset.

Comments

changed the constituion of the paper very much, added new section (Section 5 and 7), the inequality in the main theorem contained a mistake and fixed it, fixed many other small mistakes, 20 pages
