-title: Packing stability for irrational symplectic 4-manifolds

- Speaker:Prof. Richard Hind (University of Notre Dame)

- Abstract: In joint work with Olga Buse and Emmanuel Opshtein we show that associated to every symplectic 4-manifold (M,ω) is a positive constant λ with the following property. There exists a symplectic embedding of a disjoint union of open balls into provided each ball has capacity at most λ and the total volume of the balls is no more than the volume of M.

In the rational case (that is, when [ω]H2(M,Q)) this builds on work of Biran which relies on Donaldson’s construction of symplectic hypersurfaces. In the general case we apply a flexible decomposition of M (up to a subset of volume 0) into a finite union of ellipsoids and pseudo-balls.
