Symplectic packing in dimension 4
Abstract
Description
We discuss closed symplectic 4-manifolds which admit full symplectic packings by $N$ equal balls for large $N$'s. We give a homological criterion for recognizing such manifolds. As a corollary we prove that ${\Bbb C}P^2$ can be fully packed by $N$ equal balls for every $N\geq 9$.
