    (Non-)displaceability of fibers of integrable systems has been an important problem in symplectic geometry. In this paper, for a large class of classical Liouville integrable systems containing the Lagrangian top, the Kovalevskaya top and the C. Neumann problem, we find a non-displaceable fiber for each of them. Moreover, we show that the non-displaceable fiber which we detect is the unique fiber which is non-displaceable from the zero-section. As a special case of this result, we also show that a singular level set of a convex Hamiltonian is non-displaceable from the zero-section. To prove these results, we use the notion of superheaviness introduced by Entov and Polterovich.Comment: 21 pages; some notations in Section 4 change

    Computation of annular capacity by Hamiltonian Floer theory of non-contractible periodic trajectories

    Full text link
    The first author introduced a relative symplectic capacity CC for a symplectic manifold (N,ωN)(N,\omega_N) and its subset XX which measures the existence of non-contractible periodic trajectories of Hamiltonian isotopies on the product of NN with the annulus AR=(R,R)×R/ZA_R=(R,R)\times\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}. In the present paper, we give an exact computation of the capacity CC of the 2n2n-torus T2n\mathbb{T}^{2n} relative to a Lagrangian submanifold Tn\mathbb{T}^n which implies the existence of non-contractible Hamiltonian periodic trajectories on AR×T2nA_R\times\mathbb{T}^{2n}. Moreover, we give a lower bound on the number of such trajectories.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figure

    We prove that a certain C^{0}-robust condition of a Hamiltonian function H induces the existence of a point transported varepsilon out of the original point by the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism varphi_{H}. Related to our observation, we provide a problem on Hamiltonian pseudo-rotations
