On Cosymplectic Dynamics I

This paper is an introduction to cosymplectic topology. Through it, we study the structures of the group of cosymplectic diffeomorphisms and the group of almost cosymplectic diffeomorphisms of a cosymplectic manifold (M, ω, η): (i)− we define and present the features of the space of almost cosymplectic vector fields (resp. cosymplectic vector fields); (ii)− we prove by a direct method that the identity component in the group of all cosymplectic diffeomorphisms is C0−closed in the group Diff∞ (M) (a rigidity result), while in the almost cosymplectic case, we prove that the Reeb vector field determines the almost cosymplectic nature of the C0−limit ϕ of a sequence of almost cosymplectic diffeomorphisms (a rigidity result). A sufficient condition based on Reeb’s vector field which guarantees that ϕ is a cosymplectic diffeomorphism is given (a ˛exibility condition), the cosymplectic analogues of the usual symplectic capacity-inequality theorem are derived and the cosymplectic analogue of a result that was proved by Hofer-Zehnder follows.
