On the dynamics characterization of complex projective spaces

Abstract: We show that a closed weakly-monotone symplectic manifold of dimension

2 n

which has minimal Chern number greater than or equal to

n + 1

and admits a Hamiltonian toric pseudo-rotation is necessarily monotone and its quantum homology is isomorphic to that of the complex projective space. As a consequence when

n = 2

, the manifold is symplectomorphic to

m a t h b b C P^{2}

.

Review text

A Hamiltonian diffeomorphism $\varphi:M\to M$ of a symplectic manifold is a pseudo-rotation (over the base field $\mathbb{F}$) if $\varphi$ is strongly non-degenerate, i.e., all iterates $\varphi^k$ are non-degenerate, and the differential in the Floer complex of $\varphi^k$ over $\mathbb{F}$ vanishes for all $k\in\mathbb{N}$. Moreover, a pseudo-rotation $\varphi$ of a closed symplectic manifold $M^{2n}$ is said to be toric if it has an elliptic fixed point $x$ with $\dim\Gamma(x) = n$. ($\Gamma(x)$ is a compact abelian subgroup of $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$ generated by $\tilde{P}$, where $\tilde{P}$ is isospectral to $P = D\phi|_{x}$ and semisimple.) The main result of the paper under review is the following theorem. Let $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{Z}_2$. Assume that a weakly monotone symplectic manifold $M^{2n}$ admits a toric pseudo-rotation with minimal Chern number $N\geq n+1$. Then $N = n+1$, $M$ is monotone and the quantum homology $HQ_{\ast}(M)$ is isomorphic to $HQ_{\ast}(\mathbb{C} P^n)$. As a corollary the author proves: If $M$ is a closed connected symplectic 4-manifold with minimal Chern number $N\geq 3$ and admits a toric-rotation, then $M$ is symplectomorphic to $\mathbb{C} P^2$.
