Symmetric periodic orbits and uniruled real Liouville domains (Q325302): Difference between revisions

A Liouville domain is a compact exact symplectic manifold, \((M,d\lambda)\), with a global Liouville vector field, defined by \(i_Xd\lambda=\lambda\), such that the boundary is smooth and convex. A real Liouville domain is a Liouville domain with an exact anti-symplectic involution: \(\rho \in \mathrm{Diff}(M)\), \({\rho}^2=\mathrm{id}\), \({\rho}^{\star}(d\lambda)=-\lambda\). A real Liouville domain is called uniruled if there exists an invariant finite energy plane through every real point. The main result in this paper is a theorem that provides a condition which guarantees uniruledness for a real Liouville domain. Precisely the statement is the following: ``If \((M,\lambda,\rho,\epsilon)\) is a christmas tree satisfying \(b_1(M)=0\), then \((M,\lambda,\rho)\) is real uniruled''. The proof is obtained by embedding the real Liouville domain into a decorated symplectic manifold, making it into a christmas three and by using Gromov-Witten theory.
