Comparison of symplectic capacities

Abstract

In this paper, we compare the symplectic (co)homology capacity with the spectral capacity in the relative case. This result establishes a chain of inequalities of relative symplectic capacities, which is an analogue of the non-relative case. This comparison gives us a criterion for the relative almost existence theorem in terms of heaviness. Also, we investigate a sufficient condition under which the symplectic (co)homology capacity and the first Gutt-Hutchings capacity are equal in both non-relative and relative cases. This condition is less restrictive than the dynamical convexity.
