But this is false, and we present a counterexample. We also provide a criterion for the Poisson commutativity of such subalgebras ${mathcal Z}$. As a by-product, we prove that ${mathcal Z}$ is Poisson commutative if $mathfrak h$ is abelian and describe ${mathcal Z}$ in the special case when $mathfrak h$ is a Cartan subalgebra.

As a corollary, we show that Arnold chord conjecture holds for the following four cases: (1) $Y$ admits an exact filling with $SH^*(W)=0$ (for some ring coefficient); (2) $Y$ admits a symplectically aspherical filling with $SH^*(W)=0$ and simply connected Legendrians; (3) $Y$ admits an exact filling with a $k$-semi-dilation and the Legendrian is a $K(pi,1)$ space; (4) $Y$ is the cosphere bundle $S^*Q$ with $pi_2(Q)to H_2(Q)$ nontrivial and the Legendrian has trivial $pi_2$.

Like convex bodies, hedgehogs can be identi…ed with their support functions. Adopting a pro-jective viewpoint, we prove that any holomorphic function h : C n ! C can be regarded as the 'support function' of a complex hedgehog H h in C n+1. In the same vein, we introduce the notion of evolute of such a hedgehog H h in C 2 , and a natural (but apparently hitherto unknown) notion of complex curvature, which allows us to interpret this evolute as the locus of the centers of complex curvature. It is of course permissible to think that the development of a 'Brunn-Minkowski theory for complex hedgehogs' (replacing Euclidean volumes by symplectic ones) might be a promising way of research. We give …rst two results in this direction. We next return to real hedgehogs in R 2n endowed with a linear complex structure. We introduce and study the notion of evolute of a hedgehog. We particularly focus our attention on R 4 endowed with a linear Kahler structure determined by the datum of a pure unit quaternion. In parallel, we study the symplectic area of the images of the oriented Hopf circles under hedgehog parametrizations and introduce a quaternionic curvature function for such an image. Finally, we consider brie ‡y the convolution of hedgehogs, and the particular case of hedgehogs in R 4n regarded as a hyperkahler vector space.","PeriodicalId":50029,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Symplectic Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87191255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
