We call a metric space $s$-negligible iff its $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure vanishes. We show that every countably $m$-rectifiable subset of $mathbb{R}^{2n}$ can be displaced from every $(2n-m)$-negligible subset by a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism that is arbitrarily $C^infty$-close to the identity. As a consequence, every countably $n$-rectifiable and $n$-negligible subset of $mathbb{R}^{2n}$ is arbitrarily symplectically squeezable. Both results are sharp w.r.t. the parameter $s$ in the $s$-negligibility assumption. The proof of our squeezing result uses folding. Potentially, our folding method can be modified to show that the Gromov width of $B^{2n}_1setminus A$ equals $pi$ for every countably $(n-1)$-rectifiable closed subset $A$ of the open unit ball $B^{2n}_1$. This means that $A$ is not a barrier.

Generalizing deformation quantizations with separation of variables of a K"ahler manifold $M$, we adopt Fedosov's gluing argument to construct a category $mathsf{DQ}$, enriched over sheaves of $mathbb{C}[[hbar]]$-modules on $M$, as a quantization of the category of Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles over $M$ with morphisms being smooth sections of hom-bundles. We then define quantizable morphisms among objects in $mathsf{DQ}$, generalizing Chan-Leung-Li's notion [4] of quantizable functions. Upon evaluation of quantizable morphisms at $hbar = tfrac{sqrt{-1}}{k}$, we obtain an enriched category $mathsf{DQ}_{operatorname{qu}, k}$. We show that, when $M$ is prequantizable, $mathsf{DQ}_{operatorname{qu}, k}$ is equivalent to the category $mathsf{GQ}$ of holomorphic vector bundles over $M$ with morphisms being holomorphic differential operators, via a functor obtained from Bargmann-Fock actions.

We construct a mixed Hodge structure on the topological K-theory of smooth Poisson varieties, depending weakly on a choice of compactification. We establish a package of tools for calculations with these structures, such as functoriality statements, projective bundle formulae, Gysin sequences and Torelli properties. We show that for varieties with trivial A-hat class, the corresponding period maps for families can be written as exponential maps for bundles of tori, which we call the "quantum parameters". As justification for the terminology, we show that in many interesting examples, the quantum parameters of a Poisson variety coincide with the parameters appearing in its known deformation quantizations. In particular, we give a detailed implementation of an argument of Kontsevich, to prove that his canonical quantization formula, when applied to Poisson tori, yields noncommutative tori with parameter "$q = e^hbar$".

In this paper, we explore scaling symmetries within the framework of symplectic geometry. We focus on the action $Phi$ of the multiplicative group $G = mathbb{R}^+$ on exact symplectic manifolds $(M, omega,theta)$, with $omega = -dtheta$, where $ theta $ is a given primitive one-form. Extending established results in symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics, we introduce conformally symplectic maps, conformally Hamiltonian systems, conformally symplectic group actions, and the notion of conformal invariance. This framework allows us to generalize the momentum map to the conformal momentum map, which is crucial for understanding scaling symmetries. Additionally, we provide a generalized Hamiltonian Noether's theorem for these symmetries. We introduce the (conformal) augmented Hamiltonian $H_{xi}$ and prove that the relative equilibria of scaling symmetries are solutions to equations involving $ H _{ xi } $ and the primitive one-form $theta$. We derive their main properties, emphasizing the differences from relative equilibria in traditional symplectic actions. For cotangent bundles, we define a scaled cotangent lifted action and derive explicit formulas for the conformal momentum map. We also provide a general definition of central configurations for Hamiltonian systems on cotangent bundles that admit scaling symmetries. Applying these results to simple mechanical systems, we introduce the augmented potential $U_{xi}$ and show that the relative equilibria of scaling symmetries are solutions to an equation involving $ U _{ xi } $ and the Lagrangian one-form $theta_L$. Finally, we apply our general theory to the Newtonian $n$-body problem, recovering the classical equations for central configurations.
在本文中,我们将在折射几何的框架内探索缩放对称性。我们聚焦于乘法组$G = mathbb{R}^+$在精确交映流形$(M, omega,theta)$上的作用$Phi$,其中$omega = -dtheta$是一个给定的原始单形式。通过扩展交映几何学和哈密顿动力学的既定结果,我们引入了共形交映映射、共形哈密顿系统、共形交映群作用以及共形不变性概念。这个框架使我们能够将动量映射推广到共形动量映射,这对于理解缩放对称性至关重要。我们引入了(共形)增强哈密顿方程 $H_{xi}$,并证明了缩放对称性的相对平衡是涉及 $ H _{ xi }$ 和原始单形式 $H _{ xi }$ 的方程的解。和原始单形式 $theta$ 的方程。我们推导了它们的主要性质,强调了它们与传统交映作用中的相对均衡的区别。对于余切束,我们定义了尺度余切提升作用,并推导了共形动量映射的明确公式。我们还为承认缩放对称性的余切束上的哈密顿系统提供了中心构型的一般定义。将这些结果应用于简单机械系统,我们引入了增强势 $U_{xi}$,并证明了缩放对称的相对平衡是涉及 $ U _{ xi }$ 和拉格朗日方程的解。和拉格朗日单形式 $theta_L$ 的方程的解。最后,我们将我们的一般理论应用于牛顿$n$体问题,恢复了中心构型的经典方程。

In this paper, we introduce a broad class of phenomena which appear when you intersect a given Lagrangian submanifold $K$ with a family of Lagrangian submanifolds $L_t$ (all Hamiltonian isotopic to one another). We establish that this phenomenon occurs in a particular situation, which lets us give a lower bound for the volume of any Lagrangian torus in $mathbb{CP}^2$ which is Hamiltonian isotopic to the Chekanov torus. The rest of the paper is a discussion of why we should expect these phenomena to be very common, motivated by Oh's conjecture on the volume-minimising property of the Clifford torus and the concurrent normals conjecture in convex geometry. We pose many open questions.

Given an anticanonical divisor in a projective variety, one naturally obtains a monotone K"ahler manifold. In this paper, for divisors in a certain class (larger than normal crossings), we construct smoothing families of contact hypersurfaces with controlled Reeb dynamics. We use these to adapt arguments of Borman, Sheridan and Varolgunes to obtain analogous results about symplectic cohomology with supports in the divisor complement. In particular, we will show that several examples of Lagrangian skeleta of such divisor complements are superheavy, in cases where applying Lagrangian Floer theory may be intractable.

We develop an affine scheme-theoretic version of Hamiltonian reduction by symplectic groupoids. It works over $Bbbk=mathbb{R}$ or $Bbbk=mathbb{C}$, and is formulated for an affine symplectic groupoid $mathcal{G}rightrightarrows X$, an affine Hamiltonian $mathcal{G}$-scheme $mu:Mlongrightarrow X$, a coisotropic subvariety $Ssubseteq X$, and a stabilizer subgroupoid $mathcal{H}rightrightarrows S$. Our first main result is that the Poisson bracket on $Bbbk[M]$ induces a Poisson bracket on the subquotient $Bbbk[mu^{-1}(S)]^{mathcal{H}}$. The Poisson scheme $mathrm{Spec}(Bbbk[mu^{-1}(S)]^{mathcal{H}})$ is then declared to be a Hamiltonian reduction of $M$. Other main results include sufficient conditions for $mathrm{Spec}(Bbbk[mu^{-1}(S)]^{mathcal{H}})$ to inherit a residual Hamiltonian scheme structure. Our main results are best viewed as affine scheme-theoretic counterparts to an earlier paper, where we simultaneously generalize several Hamiltonian reduction processes. In this way, the present work yields scheme-theoretic analogues of Marsden-Ratiu reduction, Mikami-Weinstein reduction, '{S}niatycki-Weinstein reduction, and symplectic reduction along general coisotropic submanifolds. The initial impetus for this work was its utility in formulating and proving generalizations of the Moore-Tachikawa conjecture.

We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new theorems on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat links of closed geodesics. The second one is a forced existence theorem for orientable closed Riemannian surfaces of positive genus, asserting that the existence of a contractible simple closed geodesic $gamma$ forces the existence of infinitely many closed geodesics intersecting $gamma$ in every primitive free homotopy class of loops. The third theorem asserts the existence of Birkhoff sections for the geodesic flow of any closed orientable Riemannian surface of positive genus.
