This article introduces a new method to construct volume-filling symplectic embeddings of 4-dimensional ellipsoids by employing polytope mutations in toric and almost-toric varieties. The construction uniformly recovers the sharp sequences for the Fibonacci Staircase of McDuff-Schlenk, the Pell Staircase of Frenkel-Muller and the Cristofaro-Gardiner-Kleinman's Staircase, and adds new infinite sequences of sharp ellipsoid embeddings. In addition, we initiate the study of symplectic tropical… Expand

We explore the question of when an infinite staircase describes part of the ellipsoid embedding function of a convex toric domain. For rational convex toric domains in four dimensions, we conjectureExpand

ECH embedding obstructions for rational surfaces

Let $(Y,A)$ be a smooth rational surface or a possibly singular toric surface with ample divisor $A$. We show that a family of ECH-based, algebro-geometric invariants $c^{\text{alg}}_k(Y,A)$ proposedExpand
Infinite staircases for Hirzebruch surfaces.
We consider the ellipsoid embedding functions $c_{H_b}(z)$ for symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids of eccentricity $z$ into the family of nontrivial rational Hirzebruch surfaces $H_b$ with symplecticExpand

Symplectic embeddings from concave toric domains into convex ones
Embedded contact homology gives a sequence of obstructions to four-dimensional symplectic embeddings, called ECH capacities. In "Symplectic embeddings into four-dimensional concave toric domains",Expand
Symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids
We study the rigidity and flexibility of symplectic embeddings in the model case in which the domain is a symplectic ellipsoid. It is first proved that under the conditionrn2≤2r12 the symplecticExpand

Symplectic embeddings of 4‐dimensional ellipsoids
We show how to reduce the problem of symplectically embedding one 4-dimensional rational ellipsoid into another to a problem of embedding disjoint unions of balls into ℂP 2 . For example, the problemExpand
