We prove that the group of compactly supported symplectomorphisms of the standard symplectic ball admits a continuum of linearly independent real-valued homogeneous quasimorphisms. In addition these quasimorphisms are Lipschitz in the Hofer metric and have the following property: the value of each such quasimorphism on any symplectomorphism supported in any "sufficiently small" open subset of the ball equals the Calabi invariant of the symplectomorphism. By a "sufficiently small" open subset we mean that it can be displaced from itself by a symplectomorphism of the ball. As a byproduct we show that the (Lagrangian) Clifford torus in the complex projective space cannot be displaced from itself by a Hamiltonian isotopy.

In this paper, we find that the asymptotic nonlinear Maslov index defined on the universal cover of the group of all contact Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the standard (2n - 1)-dimensional contact sphere is a quasimorphism. Then we show our main result: Let M be standard (n - 1)-dimensional complex projective space. We prove that the value of the pullback of the asymptotic nonlinear Maslov index to the universal cover of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of M, when evaluated on a diffeomorphism supported in a sufficiently small open subset of M, equals [Formula: see text] times the Calabi invariant of this diffeomorphism.

In a previous paper it was shown how to associate with a Lagrangian submanifold satisfying Chen's equality in 3-dimensional complex projective space, a minimal surface in the 5-sphere with ellipse of curvature a circle. In this paper we focus on the reverse construction.

Stable holomorphic vector bundles over complex projective space ℙnhave been studied from both the differential-geometric and the algebraic-geometric points of view.On the differential-geometric side, the stability ofE-→ ℙncan be characterized by the existence of a unique hermitian–Einstein metric onE, i.e. a metric whose curvature matrix has trace-free part orthogonal to the Fubini–Study Kähler form of ℙn(see [6], [7], and [13]). Very little is known about this metric in general and the only explicit examples are the metrics on the tangent bundle of ℙnand the nullcorrelation bundle (see [9] and [10]).
