Symplectic capacities from positive S1–equivariant symplectic homology

J Gutt, M Hutchings - Algebraic & geometric topology, 2018 - msp.org
We use positive S 1–equivariant symplectic homology to define a sequence of symplectic
capacities ck for star-shaped domains in ℝ 2 n. These capacities are conjecturally equal to …
