There is a way to turn a Delzant polytope into a lattice polytope, but there is no natural or canonical way. Note that the Delzant condition implies that the normal vector to each facet (codimension 1 …

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 …

The claim is not true unless it is toric. Consider the coadjoint orbit of $SU(3)$ at a generic point. The moment map image is a hexagon, with each edge parallel to one of weights $\alpha_1, \alpha_2, …

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 …

A subset of a symplectic manifold is called strongly non-displaceable if it cannot be displaced by symplectomorphisms. A meridian in a $2$-torus is displaceable by a symplectomorphism, but not by a Ha …

An $n$-dimensional submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n}, \omega)$ is called Lagrangian if $\omega|_L = 0$. I want to get some feeling about how many Lagrangian submanifolds are. For each …

Let $N$ be a symplectic submanifold of $M$. Symplectic blow up of $M$ along $N$ is an operation replacing a tubular neighborhood of $N$ with the projectivization of that neighborhood. So it decreases …

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact Riemann surface with complex structure $j$. Let $(M,J)$ be an almost complex manifold. A map $u: \Sigma \rightarrow M$ is called $J$-holomorphic if $$ du \circ j = J \circ du …

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 …

According to references, Gromov-Witten invariants were first defined for symplectic manifolds and later for projective varieties algebraically, and they coincide on the overlap. Because I thought Grom …

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 …

For $n > 1$, $2n$-dimensional sphere $S^{2n}$ does not admit symplectic structures. Then how about the product with a manifold? Are there any results about the symplectic structures on $M \times S^{2n …

For a symplectic 4-manifold, it is possible for two symplectic submanifolds to intersect negatively? Actually it is an exercise in the 4-manifold book by Gompf and Stipsicz to find symplectic planes i …
