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…

Four-periodic infinite staircases for four-dimensional polydisks

Caden Farley, Tara Holm, Nicki Magill +4

The ellipsoid embedding function of a symplectic four-manifold measures the amount by which its symplectic form must be scaled in order for it to admit an embedding of an ellipsoid…

Unobstructed embeddings in Hirzebruch surfaces

Nicki Magill

This paper continues the study of the ellipsoid embedding function of symplectic Hirzebruch surfaces parametrized by , the size of the symplectic blow-up. Cristofaro-G…

Staircase Patterns in Hirzebruch Surfaces

Nicki Magill, Dusa McDuff, Morgan Weiler

The ellipsoidal capacity function of a symplectic four manifold measures how much the form on must be dilated in order for it to admit an embedded ellipsoid of eccentricity…

Staircase symmetries in Hirzebruch surfaces

Nicki Magill, Dusa McDuff

This paper continues the investigation of staircases in the family of Hirzebruch surfaces formed by blowing up the projective plane with weight b, that was started in Bertozzi, Hol…

On the regularity of solutions to the generalized Hunter-Saxton system

Jaeho Choi, Nitin Krishna, Nicole Magill +1

The generalized Hunter-Saxton system comprises several well-known models from fluid dynamics and serves as a tool for the study of fluid convection and stretching in one-dimensiona…
