Let $(E , \omega)$ be a symplectic vector space of dimension $n = 2m$. Using the results of questions 34--39, prove the following theorem: Every symplectic endomorphism of $E$ can be written as the composition of at most $2n = 4m$ symplectic transvections of $E$: if $u \in \operatorname { Symp } _ { \omega } ( E )$, there exist an integer $p \leqslant 4 m$ and $\tau _ { 1 } , \tau _ { 2 } , \ldots , \tau _ { p }$ symplectic transvections of $E$ such that $u = \tau _ { p } \circ \cdots \circ \tau _ { 2 } \circ \tau _ { 1 }$.
We equip the space $\mathcal { M } _ { n } ( \mathbb { R } )$ with its topology as a normed vector space. Show that the symplectic group $\mathrm { Sp } _ { n } ( \mathbb { R } )$ is an arc-connected subset of this space.
We fix $n = 2m \geqslant 4$. The closed Euclidean ball of radius $r$ is $$B ^ { 2 m } ( r ) = \left\{ \left( x _ { 1 } , \ldots , x _ { m } , y _ { 1 } , \ldots , y _ { m } \right) \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } , \quad x _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + \cdots + x _ { m } ^ { 2 } + y _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + \cdots + y _ { m } ^ { 2 } \leqslant r ^ { 2 } \right\}$$ and the symplectic cylinder of radius $r$ is $$Z ^ { 2 m } ( r ) = \left\{ \left( x _ { 1 } , \ldots , x _ { m } , y _ { 1 } , \ldots , y _ { m } \right) \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } , \quad x _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + y _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \leqslant r ^ { 2 } \right\}.$$ Show that, for all $r > 0$, there exists $u \in \mathrm { SL } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } \right)$ such that $u \left( B ^ { 2 m } ( 1 ) \right) \subset Z ^ { 2 m } ( r )$.
We fix $n = 2m \geqslant 4$.

Let $U \in \mathcal { M } _ { 2 m } ( \mathbb { R } )$ denote the matrix of $u$ in the canonical basis of $\mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m }$. Let $\lambda \in \mathbb { C }$ be a complex eigenvalue of the matrix $U$. Show that $| \lambda | \leqslant r$.
For the case $\lambda$ non-real, if $P$ and $Q$ in $\mathcal { M } _ { 2 m , 1 } ( \mathbb { R } )$ are such that $Z = P + \mathrm { i } Q$ is an eigenvector column of $U$ for the eigenvalue $\lambda$, one may show that $\| U P \| ^ { 2 } + \| U Q \| ^ { 2 } = | \lambda | ^ { 2 } \left( \| P \| ^ { 2 } + \| Q \| ^ { 2 } \right)$.

We denote by $M \in \operatorname { Sp } _ { 2 m } ( \mathbb { R } )$ the matrix of $\psi$ in the canonical basis $\left( e _ { 1 } , \ldots , e _ { m } , f _ { 1 } , \ldots , f _ { m } \right)$ of $\mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m }$ and by $\psi ^ { \top }$ the endomorphism canonically associated with $M ^ { \top }$. Show that $\left| b _ { s } \left( \psi ^ { \top } \left( e _ { 1 } \right) , \psi ^ { \top } \left( f _ { 1 } \right) \right) \right| = 1$ then that $\left\| \psi ^ { \top } \left( e _ { 1 } \right) \right\| \geqslant 1$ or $\left\| \psi ^ { \top } \left( f _ { 1 } \right) \right\| \geqslant 1$.

Using the result of Q47, show that $1 \leqslant r$.
We fix $n = 2m \geqslant 4$. The closed Euclidean ball of radius $R$ is $B ^ { 2 m } ( R )$ and the symplectic cylinder of radius $R'$ is $Z ^ { 2 m } ( R' ) = \left\{ \left( x _ { 1 } , \ldots , x _ { m } , y _ { 1 } , \ldots , y _ { m } \right) \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } , \quad x _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + y _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \leqslant R'^{ 2 } \right\}$. Prove the linear non-squeezing theorem: For $R > 0$ and $R ^ { \prime } > 0$, there exists $\psi \in \operatorname { Symp } _ { b _ { s } } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } \right)$ such that $\psi \left( B ^ { 2 m } ( R ) \right) \subset Z ^ { 2 m } \left( R ^ { \prime } \right)$ if and only if $R \leqslant R ^ { \prime }$.

Show that if for every compact $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, there exists $C_K > 0$ such that $\mathcal{F}$ satisfies: $$\forall x, y \in K, \forall v_x \in \mathcal{F}(x), \forall v_y \in \mathcal{F}(y), \quad \langle v_x - v_y, x - y \rangle \leqslant C_K \|x - y\|^2$$ then problem (2) admits at most one maximal solution. (Hint: You may look at $\|X(t) - Y(t)\|^2$ for $X$ and $Y$ two solutions.)
