Abstract: We study the growth rate of a sequence which measures the uniform norm of the differential under the iterates of maps. On symplectically hyperbolic manifolds, we show that this sequence has at least linear growth for every non-identical symplectomorphisms which are symplectically isotopic to the identity.

Review text

Let \((M,g)\) be a closed connected Riemannian manifold. Given a diffeomorphism \(\varphi\) on \(M\), its \textit{growth sequence} is defined by \[ \Gamma_n(\varphi):= \max\left(\max_{m\in M}|d\varphi^n(m)|_g, \max_{m\in M}|d\varphi^{-n}(m)|_g\right),\quad n\in \mathbb{N}. \] A closed symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\) with \(\pi_2(M)=0\) is called \textit{symplectically hyperbolic}, if the symplectic form \(\omega\) admits a bounded primitive on the universal cover \(p:\widetilde M\to M\). Let \({\mathrm{Symp}}_0(M,\omega)\) be the identity component of the group of symplectomorphisms of a symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\). For symplectically hyperbolic manifolds \((M,\omega)\), Polterovich showed in 2002 that \(\Gamma_n(\varphi)\gtrsim n\) when \(\varphi\in{{\mathrm{Symp}}}_0(M,\omega)\setminus\{\mathbf 1\}\) has a fixed point of contractible type. We recall that for two given positive sequences \(a_n,b_n\), one writes \(a_n\lesssim b_n\) if there exists \(c>0\) such that \(a_n\leq c(b_n+1)\) for all \(n\in \mathbb{N}\). In this paper the author proves that this statement does not depend on the existence of a fixed point. { Main Theorem:} Let \((M,\omega)\) be a symplectically hyperbolic manifold. If \(\varphi\in {\mathrm{Symp}}_0(M,\omega)\setminus\{\mathbf 1\}\), then \(\Gamma_n(\varphi)\gtrsim n\).
