Zero displacement energy for a compact set in a hyperplane

ID: zero-displacement-energy-for-a-compact-set-in-a-hyperplane

Use the standard symplectic form and convention . The Hamiltonian translates by . A fixed compactly supported cutoff equal to one near the set swept for leaves that translation unchanged on the original compact set. Its supremum norm is at most , so the translation displaces the set at arbitrarily small cost. This proves zero Hamiltonian displacement energy for either Hofer normalization.
