Symplectic ball chart in complex projective space

ID: symplectic-ball-chart-in-complex-projective-space

Normalize the Fubini-Study form so that a complex projective line has symplectic area . The displayed map takes the unit symplectic ball in diffeomorphically onto the complement of the last-coordinate hyperplane. Its lift to the unit sphere has last coordinate positive real, so that coordinate contributes zero to the pulled-back standard symplectic form. The map is therefore a symplectomorphism.
