Synopsis

In this paper we show that symplectic maps have surprising topological properties. In particular, we construct an interesting metric for the symplectic diffeomorphism groups, which is related, but not obviously, to the topological properties of symplectic maps and phase space geometry. We also prove a certain number of generalised symplectic fixed point theorems and give an application to a Hamiltonian system.
