In many textbooks, in fact all textbooks I've seen, the fiberwise group action on the principal bundle is on the right. It seems to me that left actions and right actions are essentially the same. The …

The following is a part of the proof of Gromov nonsqueezing theorem. The existence of a $J$-holomorphic curve gives an upper bound for the radius of a symplectically embedded ball. Let $\psi: B(r) \r …

For $n>2$, there are infinitely many differentiable structures on the homotopy type of $\mathbb{C}P^n$. I want to know which differentiable structures support a symplectic form. My question is as fol …

Let $a \in H^2(M, \mathbb{R})$ be a cohomology class of a closed manifold $M$ of dimension $2n$. For the cohomology class $a$ to represent a symplectic form on $M$, we must have $a^n \neq 0$. This is …

My question is motivated by the following question. How transitive are the actions of symplectomorphism groups ? A subset $X$ of a symplectic manifold $M^{2n}$ is called $\it displaceable$ if there …
