[For the entire collection see Zbl 0726.00014.] Let \(\omega_ 0\) be the standard symplectic structure on \(R^{2n}\) and let \(L\subset R^{2n}\) be any Lagrangian submanifold. \textit{M. Gromov} [Invent. Math. 82, 307-347 (1985; Zbl 0592.53025)] proved that for such L we have \([\omega_ 0]\neq 0\) in the second relative de Rham cohomology group \(H^ 2(R^{2n},L,R)\) of the pair \((R^{2n},L)\). Being closed \(\omega_ 0=d\psi\) and so \([\psi\mid_ L]\neq0\) in \(H^ 1(L,R)\). This theorem distinguishes so-called exotic symplectic structures, i.e. such ones which do not embed in the standard symplectic structure \((R^{2n},\omega_ 0)\) of the same dimension. The author describes a method for constructing an exotic symplectic geometry and then uses the resulting symplectic manifold as the phase space of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. He applies this system for understanding the nature of obstruction which implies an existence of the exotic structures.
