Jul 23, 2014 at 2:25 comment added bentspoon @Hwang I think it is different, yes (it's formally easier; however, if you can convince me that the problems are equivalent that would be great)
Jul 23, 2014 at 0:00 comment added Hwang Now I have a problem in understanding your question. You pick two arbitrary balls of size 1 and take subballs of them. Is it different from picking arbitrary two balls of size $\delta$?
Jul 22, 2014 at 16:08 comment added bentspoon @Hwang Thanks for your response. I don't have a copy of Introduction to Symplectic Topology, and I couldn't find a .pdf online, but are you sure that it is stated there that this question is not known? Note that the question does not ask for a $\delta > 0$ such that any two $B(\delta)$ are isotopic, which is known to be not known; rather, the question asks about subballs of two fixed balls, which I think should be easier.
Jul 22, 2014 at 9:16 comment added Hwang According to "Introduction to Symplectic Topology" by McDuff and Salamon, it is not known. See Section "Blowing up and down". I don't know what was done after the book was written.
