The equilibrium is supposed to be a nondegenerate minimum of the Hamiltonian. Every sphere-like component of the energy surface sufficiently close to the equilibrium contains at least two periodic orbits forming a Hopf link (Weinstein in Inv Math 20:47–57, 1973). A theorem by Hofer, Wysocki and Zehnder (Ann Math 148:197–289, 1998) implies that there are either precisely two or infinitely many periodic orbits on such a component of the energy surface. This multiplicity result follows from the existence of a disk-like global surface of section. If a certain non-resonance condition on the rotation numbers of the orbits of the Hopf link is satisfied, then by Hryniewicz, Momin and Salomão (Inv Math 199:333–422, 2015), infinitely many periodic orbits follow. This paper aims to present explicit conditions on the Birkhoff-Gustavson normal forms of the Hamiltonian function at the equilibrium point that ensure the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits on the energy surface by checking the non-resonance condition as in (Hryniewicz, Momin and Salomão in Inv Math 199:333–422, 2015) and not making use of any global surface of section.

This is the first stability result for the Einstein equations in the collapsing spacetime direction in presence of Vlasov matter that does not rely on any symmetry assumptions. Furthermore, the Vlasov distribution remains close to that of the FLRW solution as a function on the co-mass shell, and so does its momentum support if one assumes it to be close to that of the FLRW distribution initially. On the other hand, the leading order terms in components of the Vlasov energy-momentum tensor exbihit an offset in asymptotic order controlled by the perturbation size, and when viewed on the mass shell, the distribution asymptotically concentrates in certain preferred velocity directions. To ensure that this behaviour is sufficiently mitigated by the scalar field, we crucially exploit a scaling hierarchy between horizontal and vertical derivatives in the commuted Vlasov equation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":522,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Mathematical Physics","volume":"407 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13350106/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148417547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that this correspondence leads naturally to the introduction of what we call Fourier polarizations, whose real directions include the Hamiltonian vector fields of all invariant functions of the moment map. For a Fourier polarization, quantization commutes with reduction unitarily. For a general <i>G</i>-invariant polarization, <span>(mathcal {P})</span>, unitarity in the quantization commutes with reduction correspondence can then be formulated in terms of the existence of a Fourier polarization, <span>(mathcal {P}_F)</span>, such that the quantizations with respect to <span>(mathcal {P})</span> and to <span>(mathcal {P}_F)</span> are unitarily equivalent.

We consider half-form quantization in Fourier (mixed) polarizations <span>(mathcal {P}_infty )</span>, whose real directions are generated by (the Hamiltonian vector fields of the) components of the <span>(T^p)</span> moment map. We show that Fourier mixed polarizations of this type can be obtained by Mabuchi geodesic rays of toric Kähler structures, starting at a given initial structure and with velocity given by the norm square of the moment map of the torus subgroup. We lift these geodesic rays to the quantum bundle via generalized coherent state transforms, which define equivariant isomorphisms between quantum Hilbert spaces for the Kähler and Fourier polarizations, where the later are obtained at infinite geodesic time. Unitarity in quantization commutes with reduction in these cases then becomes equivalent to the unitarity of these isomorphisms. In general, however, in the toric case, these isomorphisms are not unitary.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":522,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Mathematical Physics","volume":"407 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00220-026-05685-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148433508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
