Maximal Weinstein neighborhoods of symmetric R-spaces and their symplectic capacities

Abstract

Symmetric R-spaces can be characterized as real forms of Hermitian symmetric spaces, and as such, they are all embedded as Lagrangian submanifolds. We show that their maximal Weinstein tubular neighborhoods are dense and use this property to compute both the Gromov width and the Hofer--Zehnder capacity of the corresponding disc (co)tangent bundles of the symmetric R-spaces.
