Quadrilateral mutations and symplectic embeddings
Nicki Magill
We study the relationship between almost toric base diagrams, perfect exceptional classes, and optimal ellipsoid embeddings for $H_b=\mathbb{CP}^2_1 \# \overline{\mathbb{CP}\!}\,{}…

Curvy points, the perimeter, and the complexity of convex toric domains
Dan Cristofaro-Gardiner, Nicki Magill, Dusa McDuff
We study the related notions of curvature and perimeter for toric boundaries and their implications for symplectic packing problems in dimension 4; a natural setting for this is a…

A classification of infinite staircases for Hirzebruch surfaces
Nicki Magill, Ana Rita Pires, Morgan Weiler
The ellipsoid embedding function of a symplectic manifold gives the smallest amount by which the symplectic form must be scaled in order for a standard ellipsoid of the given eccen…
