The Hamiltonian Seifert Conjecture: Examples and Open Problems

Viktor L. Ginzburg

备注：: 9 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of the Third ECM

英文摘要：

Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is the existence problem for regular compact energy levels without periodic orbits. Very little is known about how large the set of regular energy values without periodic orbits can be. For instance, in all known examples of Hamiltonian flows on linear spaces such energy values form a discrete set, whereas ``almost existence theorems'' only require this set to have zero measure. We describe constructions of Hamiltonian flows without periodic orbits on one energy level and formulate conjectures and open problems.

A C^2-smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in R^4

We give a detailed construction of a proper C^2-smooth function on R^4 such that its Hamiltonian flow has no periodic orbits on at least one regular level set. This result can be viewed as a C^2-smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in dimension four.

New smooth counterexamples to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture

We construct a new aperiodic symplectic plug and hence new smooth counterexamples to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in R^{2n} for n>2. In other words, we develop an alternative procedure, to those of V. L. Ginzburg and M. Herman, for constructing smooth Hamiltonian flows, on the standard symplectic R^{2n} for n>2, which have compact regular level sets that contain no periodic orbits. The plug described here is a modification of those built by Ginzburg. In particular, we utilize a different "trap" which makes the necessary embeddings of this plug much easier to construct.

Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems Without Periodic Orbits

The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the ``Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture'' or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the ``classical'' and volume--preserving Seifert conjectures. Then a construction of counterexamples to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in dimensions greater than or equal to six is outlined, mainly following the method introduced by the author of the paper. The Hamiltonian version of Seifert's theorem is also stated. A list of all known at this moment examples an…

A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture in R^6

A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture for six-dimensional symplectic manifolds is found. In particular, we construct a smooth proper function on the symplectic 2n-dimensional vector space, 2n > 4, such that one of its non-singular level sets carries no periodic orbits of the Hamiltonian flow. The function can be taken to be C^0-close and isotopic to a positive-definite quadratic form so that the level set in question is isotopic to an ellipsoid. This is a refinement of previously known constructions giving such functions for 2n > 6. The proof is based on a new version o…

The Conley Conjecture

We prove the Conley conjecture for a closed symplectically aspherical symplectic manifold: a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a such a manifold has infinitely many periodic points. More precisely, we show that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many fixed points has simple periodic points of arbitrarily large period. This theorem generalizes, for instance, a recent result of Hingston establishing the Conley conjecture for tori.

The Weinstein Conjecture for Hamiltonian Fibrations

In this note we extend to non trivial Hamiltonian fibrations over symplectically uniruled manifolds a result of Lu's, \cite{Lu}, stating that any trivial symplectic product of two closed symplectic manifolds with one of them being symplectically uniruled verifies the Weinstein Conjecture for closed separating hypersurfaces of contact type, under certain technical conditions. The proof is based on the product formula for Gromov-Witten invariants ($GW$-invariant) of Hamiltonian fibrations derived in \cite{H}.

The Weinstein conjecture and the theorems of nearby and almost existence

The Weinstein conjecture, as the general existence problem for periodic orbits of Hamiltonian or Reeb flows, has been among the central questions in symplectic topology for over two decades and its investigation has led to understanding of some fundamental properties of Hamiltonian flows. In this paper we survey some recently developed and well-known methods of proving various particular cases of this conjecture and the closely related almost existence theorem. We also examine differentiability and continuity properties of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity function and relate these properties to the …

Imprimitively generated Lie-algebraic Hamiltonians and separation of variables

Turbiner's conjecture posits that a Lie-algebraic Hamiltonian operator whose domain is a subset of the Euclidean plane admits a separation of variables. A proof of this conjecture is given in those cases where the generating Lie-algebra acts imprimitively. The general form of the conjecture is false. A counter-example is given based on the trigonometric Olshanetsky-Perelomov potential corresponding to the A_2 root system.

On the Flux Conjectures

The ``Flux conjecture'' for symplectic manifolds states that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is C^1-closed in the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms. We prove the conjecture for spherically rational manifolds and for those whose minimal Chern number on 2-spheres either vanishes or is large enough. We also confirm a natural version of the Flux conjecture for symplectic torus actions. In some cases we can go further and prove that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is C^0-closed in the identity component of the group of all symplectic diffeomorphisms.

A proof of Tsygan's formality conjecture for Hamiltonian actions

In this short note we prove an equivariant version of the formality of multidiffirential operators for a proper Lie group action. More precisely, we show that the equivariant Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg quasi-isomorphism between the cohomology of the equivariant multidifferential operators and the complex of equivariant multivector fields extends to an $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism. We construct this $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism using the $G$-invariant formality constructed by Dolgushev. This result has immediate consequences in deformation quantization, since it allows to obtain a quantum mom…
