Hofer's length spectrum of symplectic surfaces

Abstract: Following a question of F. Le Roux, we consider a system of invariants

l_{A} : H_{1} (M; m a t h b b Z) o m a t h b b R

of a symplectic surface

M

. These invariants compute the minimal Hofer energy needed to translate a disk of area

A

along a given homology class and can be seen as a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian length spectrum. When

M

has genus zero we also construct Hofer- and

C_{0}

-continuous quasimorphisms

H a m (M) o H_{1} (M; m a t h b b R)

that compute trajectories of periodic non-displaceable disks.
