Symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids in dimension greater than four (Q658411): Difference between revisions

Let \(E(a_1,\ldots,a_m)\) denote a symplectic ellipsoid in the standard symplectic \(\mathbb R^{2m}\). The authors provide a construction of an embedding between symplectic ellipsoids in higher dimension from a symplectic embedding in lower dimensions. More precisely, they prove that if there exists a symplectic embedding \(E(a_1,\dots,a_m)\hookrightarrow E(b_1,\dots,b_m)\) then there is a symplectic embedding \[ E(a_1,\dots,a_m,a_{m+1},\dots, a_n)\hookrightarrow E(b_1,\dots,b_m,a_{m+1},\dots,a_n). \] In dimension six they study the function defined by \(f(a,b) = \inf \{c\,|\, E(1,a,b)\hookrightarrow B^6(c)\}\), where \(B^6(c)\) denote the standard symplectic ball of capacity \(c\). They obtain a set of results concerning the values of this function. Finally, they prove that in all even dimensions bigger than four a symplectic ball can be fully filled by a discjoint collection of symplectically embedded small enough balls. Since a ball is the affine part of the complex projective space the corresponding result for \(\mathbb{CP}^n\), for \(n>2\) follows immediately.
