Abstract: Diffeomorphisms that preserve a symplectic structure have unexpected rigidity properties. In particular, many manifold have subsets that cannot be displaced (i.e. moved to a disjoint position) by a symplectic isotopy though they can be...

Abstract: As has been known since the time of Gromov's Nonsqueezing Theorem, symplectic embedding questions lie at the heart of symplectic geometry. In the past few years we have gained significant new insight into the question of when there is a...
