Let \(M^{2n}\) and \(W^{2m}\) be symplectic manifolds with \(W^{2m}\) closed. Denote by \(B^{2n}(a)\) the standard closed ball of radius \(r\) satisfying \(\pi r^2=a\). The authors show that any symplectic embedding of \(B^{2n+2}(c) \times W\) in \(B^2(\lambda) \times M\times W\) must satisfy \(c\leq\lambda\), obtaining a generalization of the ordinary non squeezing theorem. A result of the same type is obtained for the disjunction energy \(e(A\times W)\) where \(A\) is a subset of \(M\). These theorems are used to prove a basic result on the extension of Hofer's geometry to all symplectic diffeomorphisms. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00050].
