We compare spectral invariants in periodic orbits and Lagrangian Floer homology case, for a closed symplectic manifold P and its closed Lagrangian submanifolds L, when ?|?2(P,L)=0, and ?|?2(P,L)=0. We define a product HF*(H)?HF*(H:L) ? HF*(H:L) and prove subadditivity of invariants with respect to this product.

We study Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds with non-contractible periodic orbits. In a variety of settings, we show that the presence of one non-contractible periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed toroidally monotone or toroidally negative monotone symplectic manifold implies the existence of infinitely many non-contractible periodic orbits in a specific collection of free homotopy classes. The main new ingredient in the proofs of these results is a filtration of Floer homology by the so-called augmented action. This action is independent of capping and, under favorable conditions, the augmented action filtration for toroidally (negative) monotone manifolds can play the same role as the ordinary action filtration for atoroidal manifolds.

Since spectral invariants were introduced in cotangent bundles via generating functions by Viterbo in the seminal paper [73], they have been defined in various contexts, mainly via Floer homology theories, and then used in a great variety of applications. In this paper we extend their definition to monotone Lagrangians, which is so far the most general case for which a “classical” Floer theory has been developed. Then, we gather and prove the properties satisfied by these invariants, and which are crucial for their applications. Finally, as a demonstration, we apply these new invariants to symplectic rigidity of some specific monotone Lagrangians.

Calculating the spectral invariant of Floer homology of the distance function, we can find new superheavy subsets in symplectic manifolds. We show if convex open subsets in Euclidian space with the standard symplectic form are disjointly embedded in a spherically negative monotone closed symplectic manifold, their complement is superheavy. In particular, the [Formula: see text] bouquet in a closed Riemann surface with genus [Formula: see text] is superheavy. We also prove some analogous properties of a monotone closed symplectic manifold. These can be used to extend Seyfaddni’s result about lower bounds of Poisson bracket invariant.

We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold (M,ω). The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space ℒ consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of M × M which are exact Lagrangian isotopic to the diagonal. We show that in the case of a closed symplectic manifold with π2(M) = 0, the canonical embedding of Ham (M) into ℒ, f ↦ graph (f) is not an isometric embedding, although it preserves Hofer's length of smooth paths.

In this paper, we establish the existence of periodic orbits belonging to any [Formula: see text]-atoroidal free homotopy class for Hamiltonian systems in the twisted disc bundle, provided that the compactly supported time-dependent Hamiltonian function is sufficiently large over the zero section and the magnitude of the weakly exact [Formula: see text]-form [Formula: see text] admitting a primitive with at most linear growth on the universal cover is sufficiently small. The proof relies on showing the invariance of Floer homology under symplectic deformations and on the computation of Floer homology for the cotangent bundle endowed with its canonical symplectic form. As a consequence, we also prove that, for any non-trivial atoroidal free homotopy class and any positive finite interval, if the magnitude of a magnetic field admitting a primitive with at most linear growth on the universal cover is sufficiently small, the twisted geodesic flow associated to the magnetic field has a periodic orbit on almost every energy level in the given interval whose projection to the underlying manifold represents the given free homotopy class. This application is carried out by showing the finiteness of the restricted Biran–Polterovich–Salamon capacity.

AbstractAn R-space is a compact homogeneous space obtained as an orbit of the isotropy representation of a Riemannian symmetric space. It is known that each R-space has the canonical embedding into a Kähler C-space as a real form, and thus a compact embedded totally geodesic Lagrangian submanifold. The minimal Maslov number of Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic manifolds is one of invariants under Hamiltonian isotopies and very fundamental to study the Floer homology for intersections of Lagrangian submanifolds. In this paper we show a Lie theoretic formula for the minimal Maslov number of R-spaces canonically embedded in Einstein-Kähler C-spaces, and provide some examples of the calculation by the formula.
