10.4 Symplectomorphisms assigned to lines
In this section we are going to assign to each line a symplectomorphism
giving for each a transformation . This symplectomorphism in local coordinates will belong to the subgroup where is the slope of . More precisely, we demand that is of the form
where , operation is the Poisson bracket on and is an analytic function of one variable satisfying the following condition. Let us consider the pullback (by the exponential map) of the function to a section of the sheaf on vector space considered as a manifold with -affine structure. Then this pullback should admit an analytic continuation from to the half-plane , and obey there the bound
Let us explain the construction of , leaving the justification for the next sections.
Symplectomorphisms are constructed by an inductive procedure. Let be (in standard affine coordinates) a line in the half-plane emerging from (there is another such line in the half-plane ). Assume that is sufficiently small. Then we define on topological generators by the formula (as in Section 8)
Notice that , where is convergent for .
In order to extend to the interval , where is not small, we cover the corresponding segment of by open charts. Notice that change of affine coordinates transforms into a monomial multiplied by a constant from . Therefore extends analytically in a unique way to a global section over of the sheaf . Moreover, the norm strictly decreases as increases, and remains strictly smaller than . Hence can be canonically extended for all .
Each symplectomorphism is defined by a series which converges in the half-plane . Using the exponential map associated with the affine structure as well as estimates of , we can extend analytically into a neighborhood of .
Let us now assume that and collide at , generating the line . Then is defined with the help of factorization theorem in the group . More precisely, we set and the angle to be the intersection of half-planes . By construction elements and belong respectively to and . Then we can use the factorization Theorem 6 and write down the formula
where and the product on the right is in the increasing order. There is no clash of notations because it is easy to see that the boundary factors in the decomposition from above are indeed equal to and . Each term with corresponds to the newborn line with the direction covector . Then we set . This transformation is defined by a series which is convergent in a neighborhood of , and using the analytic continuation as above, we obtain for . The decomposition identity can be rewritten as
where each factor corresponds to half-lines at the collision point (see Figure 5), and the meaning of the identity is that the infinite composition of symplectomorphisms in the natural cyclic order on half-lines, is trivial.
