Abstract

It is shown that a symplectic isotopy with non-degenerate end-point on a closed symplectically Calabi--Yau manifold has simple periodic points of arbitrarily large period under a simple non-vanishing condition on the Morse--Novikov homology associated with its flux. The proof combines a sharp estimate for the Conley--Zehnder index under the assumption that the mean index is an even integer with a classical asymptotic iteration argument in the non-Hamiltonian Floer-theoretic setting. We also apply this estimate to the symplectic dynamics of the standard symplectic $4$-torus.

Kodaira fibres and wrapped Floer cohomology

Let $F$ be a singular fibre of a relatively minimal complex elliptic fibration with smooth total space, and let $Ω$ be a nonvanishing holomorphic two-form near $F$. We show that a small neighbourhood of $F$ is a Weinstein domain for $\mathrm{Re}\,Ω$ whose completion is a Legendrian surgery, with cocores obtained by completing holomorphic disks transverse to the components of $F$. For every coefficient field and every multiplicative bulk class, we compute the wrapped Floer cohomology of these cocores and prove that it is concentrated in degree zero. The cocores generate, so the bulk-deformed wrapped Fukaya category is equivalent to the category of perfect modules over an explicit algebra: a multiplicative preprojective algebra of affine type for the normal crossing fibres, and a quiver algebra with relations for types $II$, $III$ and $IV$. Applications include formality of the affine plumbing dg algebras; mirrors given by resolved affine surfaces at every classical bulk class for affine D, E and types II, III, IV; and mirrors given by quotient stacks of algebraic tori at root-of-unity bulk classes for the four affine stars.

Biran decomposition and relative symplectic cohomology

Let $(M,ω)$ be a closed monotone integral symplectic manifold with monotonicity constant $τ>0$, and let $D\subset M$ be a symplectic hyperplane section of degree $0<k<τ$. By Biran's decomposition theorem, $M$ is the union of a symplectic disk bundle over $D$ and the skeleton of the complement $M\setminus D$ equipped with its Liouville structure. In this paper, we compute the relative symplectic cohomology of circle subbundles of this disk bundle over $\mathbb{Z}$ in terms of the quantum cohomology of $D$. This relative symplectic cohomology depends on the radius of the circle bundle relative to a certain critical radius. For a broad class of pairs $(M,D)$, we prove that the relative symplectic cohomology over $\mathbb{Z}$ does not vanish for supercritical radii. Therefore, circle bundles of supercritical radii are heavy subsets, which yields infinite dimensional quasi-flats in the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group with respect to both the Hofer metric and the spectral metric over $\mathbb{Z}$. We also establish that if the degree $k$ of $D$ is greater than one, the skeleton of $M\setminus D$ is SH-full over $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, and hence non-displaceable in $M$ by any symplectomorphism.
