Arnold's fixed-point conjecture for Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms
Arnold's fixed-point conjecture for Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms
Let be a compact symplectic manifold, and let be a symplectomorphism exactly homotopic to the identity. A fixed point of is nondegenerate if its differential is nonsingular. A Morse function on is a smooth function whose critical points are all nondegenerate.
Arnold's conjecture. The number of fixed points of satisfies
If all fixed points are nondegenerate, then
This is a fundamental fixed-point problem in symplectic geometry. The conjecture has been proven using Floer homology by Conley--Zehnder, Floer, Hofer--Salamon, Ono, Fukaya--Ono, and Liu--Tian.
