Hofer's geometry and Floer theory under the quantum limit

Symplectic Geometry 2007-10-04 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

In this paper, we use Floer theory to study the Hofer length functional for paths of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which are sufficiently short. In particular, the length minimizing properties of a short Hamiltonian path are related to the properties and number of its periodic orbits.
