1 The many forms of rigidity for symplectic embeddings based on work of Dan Cristofaro-Gardiner, Michael Entov, David Frenkel, Janko Latschev, Dusa McDuff, Dorothee Müller, FS, Misha Verbitsky
2 The problems 1. E(1, a) s Z 4 (A) 2. E(1, a) s C 4 (A) 3. E(1, a) s P(A, ba), 4. E(1, a) s T 4 (A) b N
3 The problems 1. E(1, a) s Z 4 (A) 2. E(1, a) s C 4 (A) 3. E(1, a) s P(A, ba), 4. E(1, a) s T 4 (A) b N where: E(a, b) = {(z 1, z 2 ) C 2 π z 1 2 a + π z 2 2 b } < 1 can assume: b = 1, a 1
4 and : Z 4 (A) = D(A) C C 4 (A) = P(A, A) P(A, ba) = D(A) D(bA) T 4 (A) = T 2 (A) T 2 (A) moment map images (under (z 1, z 2 ) (π z 1 2, π z 2 2 )) :
5 The answers
6 The answers 1. Gromov 1985: E(1, a) s Z 4 (A) iff A 1 Hence c EZ (a) := inf { A E(1, a) s } Z 4 (A) TOTAL symplectic rigidity, NO structure 1
7 To get some structure, truncate!
8 To get some structure, truncate! First: Truncate all down to C 4 (A): c 1 (a) := inf { A E(1, a) s } C 4 (A) a 2 (Volume constraint)
9 2. Frenkel Müller 2014, based on McDuff S 2012: c 1 (a) starts with the Pell stairs : Pell numbers: P 0 = 0, P 1 = 1, P n = 2P n 1 + P n 2 HC Pell numbers: H 0 = 1, H 1 = 1, H n = 2H n 1 + H n 2
10 2. Frenkel Müller 2014, based on McDuff S 2012: c 1 (a) starts with the Pell stairs : Pell numbers: HC Pell numbers: Form the sequence (γ 1, γ 2, γ 3,... ) := P 0 = 0, P 1 = 1, P n = 2P n 1 + P n 2 H 0 = 1, H 1 = 1, H n = 2H n 1 + H n 2 = ( P1, H 0 ( 1, H 2 2P 1, P 3 H 2, ) H 4,... 2P 3 3 2, 5 3, 17 10,... σ 2 where σ = the silver ratio )
11 An application: Biran 1996: k p k where p k = percentage of volume of [0, 1] 4 R 4 that can be symplectically filled by k disjoint equal balls What are these numbers?
12 The function c 1 explains Biran s list: { } d k := inf A B 4 (1) s C 4 (A) Since p k = k 1 2, his list becomes d 2 k k k d k k 2 and (McDuff 2009): d k = c 1 (k), ie B 4 (1) k s C 4 (A) E(1, k) s C 4 (A)
13 Hence: It was worthwhile to elongate the domain: B 4 (1) E(1, a) Now: Also elongate the target: C 4 (A) = P(A, A) P(A, ba), b 1
14 Hence: It was worthwhile to elongate the domain: B 4 (1) E(1, a) Now: Also elongate the target: C 4 (A) = P(A, A) P(A, ba), b 1 For a, b 1 c b (a) = inf { A E(1, a) s } P(A, ba) 1-parametric family of problems a Volume constraint: c b (a) 2b
15 3. Cristofaro Gardiner, Frenkel, S 2016 c b (a) is given by...
16 3. Cristofaro Gardiner, Frenkel, S 2016 c b (a) is given by... So: fine structure of symplectic rigidity in c 1 first disappears (as b 2), then reappears (as b )
17 3. Cristofaro Gardiner, Frenkel, S 2016 c b (a) is given by... So: fine structure of symplectic rigidity in c 1 first disappears (as b 2), then reappears (as b ) Remarks 1. The same holds true for b R 2 (no proof) 2. The first two linear steps, and the affine step of the Pell stairs are stable, the other steps disappear Open problem: How does the Pell stairs disappear? Understand c 1+ε
18 4. E(1, a) s T 4 (A) : Note: C 4 (A) compactifies to both S 2 (A) S 2 (A) and T 4 (A) { Fact: c 1 (a) = inf A E(1, a) s } C 4 (A) { = inf A E(1, a) s } S 2 (A) S 2 (A)
19 4. E(1, a) s T 4 (A) : Note: C 4 (A) compactifies to both S 2 (A) S 2 (A) and T 4 (A) { Fact: c 1 (a) = inf A E(1, a) s } C 4 (A) { = inf A E(1, a) s } S 2 (A) S 2 (A) On the other hand (Latschev McDuff S, Entov Verbitsky 2014): E(1, a) s T 4 (A) whenever Vol E(1, a)< Vol T 4 (A) ( Total flexibility )
20 But: It is unkown wether Emb(E(1, a), T 4 (A)) is connected (hence <) Hidden rigidity (Biran): Assume that ϕ: B 4 (a) s T 4 (1), Vol B 4 (a) = 3 4, ψ : 2 B4 (b) s T 4 (A), Vol 2 B4 (b) = 2 3. Then Im ψ Im ϕ is impossible (by Gromov s 2-ball theorem)
21 Ideas of the proof
22 Common ingredient: Ideas of the proof from B 4 (a) s (M 4, ω) get symplectic form ω a on the blow-up π : M 1 M in class e = PD(E), E = [Σ] π [ω] a e
23 Common ingredient: Ideas of the proof from B 4 (a) s (M 4, ω) get symplectic form ω a on the blow-up π : M 1 M in class e = PD(E), E = [Σ] π [ω] a e Conversely: If π [ω] a e has a symplectic representative, non-degenerate along Σ, then can blow-down, get B 4 (a) s (M, ω? )
24 E(1, 2) s C 4 (1 + ε) ( 2 B4 (1) s C 4 (1 + ε) easy! )
25 E(1, 2) s C 4 (1 + ε) omit ε, δ... ( 2 B4 (1) s C 4 (1 + ε) easy! ) compactify C 4 (1) = D(1) D(1) to M = S 2 (1) S 2 (1) := {(z, z)} S 2 S 2 : holomorphic
26 E(1, 2) s C 4 (1 + ε) omit ε, δ... ( 2 B4 (1) s C 4 (1 + ε) easy! ) compactify C 4 (1) = D(1) D(1) to M = S 2 (1) S 2 (1) := {(z, z)} S 2 S 2 : holomorphic blow-up M twice at the right points by size λ = 1 3 get holomorphic sphere 2 M 2 in class [ 2 ] = S 1 + S 2 E 1 E 2 and a chain of spheres C 1 C 2 bounding E(λ, 2λ) and a symplectic form ω λ in class [ω λ ] = s 1 + s 2 λ(e 1 + e 2 )
27 Wish to inflate the form ω λ in [ω λ ] = s 1 + s 2 λ(e 1 + e 2 ) to ω 1 in [ω 1 ] = s 1 + s 2 (e 1 + e 2 ) Inflation along e 1 + e 2 is impossible, but can inflate along PD( 2 ) = s 1 + s 2 e 1 e 2 :
28 Wish to inflate the form ω λ in [ω λ ] = s 1 + s 2 λ(e 1 + e 2 ) to ω 1 in [ω 1 ] = s 1 + s 2 (e 1 + e 2 ) Inflation along e 1 + e 2 is impossible, but can inflate along PD( 2 ) = s 1 + s 2 e 1 e 2 : τ > 0 there exists a symplectic form Ω τ in class [ω λ ] + τ PD[ 2 ] = (1 + τ)(s 1 + s 2 ) (λ + τ)(e 1 + e 2 ) Get Hence E(λ + τ, 2(λ + τ)) s C 4 (1 + τ) E(1, 2) s C 4 ( 1+τ λ+τ )
29 E(1, 2) s T 4 (1) Cannot do inflation, since there are no J-curves to inflate along But: Use existence of Kähler forms on blow-ups (much stronger than Nakai Moishezon in the algebraic case)
30 E(1, 2) s T 4 (1) Cannot do inflation, since there are no J-curves to inflate along But: Use existence of Kähler forms on blow-ups (much stronger than Nakai Moishezon in the algebraic case) (M, J) Kähler H 1,1 J (M; R): classes represented by J-invariant closed 2-forms candidates for Kähler classes: C 1,1 + (M, J) := { } α H 1,1 J (M; R) α m ([V ]) > 0 complex subv. V m (M, J)

32 D ly Paun 2004 The Kähler cone of (M, J) is one of the connected components of C 1,1 + (M, J) Hence: E(1, 2) s T 4 (1, 1 + ε) (for ε irrational) since there is a Kähler J without J-curves (positivity on exceptional divisors and on M 2 clear)
33 D ly Paun 2004 The Kähler cone of (M, J) is one of the connected components of C 1,1 + (M, J) Hence: E(1, 2) s T 4 (1, 1 + ε) (for ε irrational) since there is a Kähler J without J-curves (positivity on exceptional divisors and on M 2 clear) For T 4 (1, 1) use approximation of (T 4, ω, I ) by J close to I without J-curves Kähler for some ω J with [ω J ] close to [ω] (Kodaira Spencer)
34 D ly Paun 2004 The Kähler cone of (M, J) is one of the connected components of C 1,1 + (M, J) Hence: E(1, 2) s T 4 (1, 1 + ε) (for ε irrational) since there is a Kähler J without J-curves (positivity on exceptional divisors and on M 2 clear) For T 4 (1, 1) use approximation of (T 4, ω, I ) by J close to I without J-curves Kähler for some ω J with [ω J ] close to [ω] (Kodaira Spencer) Yesterday : Entov Verbitsky proved flexibility of ellipsoid packings of Kähler tori in all dimensions by directly blowing-up E(a 1,..., a n ) (a j relatively prime) and resolving the cyclic singularities (Hironaka)

40 Use three methods! Method 1: obstructive classes Method 2: dual version: reduction at a point Method 3: ECH capacities
41 Method 1: McDuff, Polterovich, Biran, Li Lu: E(1, a) s P(λ, λb) (i) λ a 2b volume constraint
42 Method 1: McDuff, Polterovich, Biran, Li Lu: E(1, a) s P(λ, λb) (i) λ a 2b volume constraint (ii) λ m, w(a) for all solutions (d, e; m) N 3 of d + be m i = 2(d + e) 1, mi 2 = 2de + 1 i i constraint from J-spheres
43 For b 2 all obstructions come from E n = (n, 1; 1 (2n+1) ) (linear steps) F n = ( n(n + 1), n + 1; n + 1, n (2n+3)) (affine step)
44 Method 3: Hutchings, McDuff: ECH capacities are complete invariants for our problem: E(a, b) s E(c, d) c k (E(a, b)) c k (E(c, d)) for all k
45 Method 3: Hutchings, McDuff: ECH capacities are complete invariants for our problem: E(a, b) s E(c, d) c k (E(a, b)) c k (E(c, d)) for all k In particular E(1, a) s P(λ, λb) c k (E(1, a)) λ c k (E(1, 2b)) for all k
