»Hamiltonian persistence modules and nondegeneracy of the Hofer metric: the aspherical and monotone stories«

Abstract:
That Hamiltonian Floer theory carries a natural action filtration allows us to produce, in the symplectically aspherical case, persistence modules whose barcodes are stable with respect to Hofer’s metric. Combining this stability theorem with a simple barcode comparison between a small Morse Hamiltonian and the identity gives a barcode-based proof of the nondegeneracy of Hofer’s metric. This talk will review this proof and the intervening concepts and then focus on what changes in the monotone setting. When $\pi_2(M)
eq 0$, the action functional becomes multi-valued, sphere bubbling can occur, and the correct algebraic framework involves Novikov fields, valuations, and Floer-type complexes. Following the work of Usher–Zhang, one obtains verbose and concise barcodes for Floer–Novikov complexes, together with stability results and a chain-level interpretation of boundary depth as the maximal finite bar length. We will explain how these tools suggest a route toward a barcode proof of Hofer nondegeneracy in the monotone case, what is already known, and where the argument still falls short.
