The graph unitary of a positive symplectic path is a positive unitary path
ProvedHryniewiczCriterion.graphUnitary4_positive_pathhamiltonian-dynamicssymplectic-geometry
Let solve with , where every is symmetric positive definite and is the standard complex structure in the coordinates . Let be the graph unitary (graphUnitary4). Then , every is unitary, and is a positive path:
Proof idea: is symplectic, so is Lagrangian in and is unitary. For a unitary frame of a Lagrangian path, with real antisymmetric and the crossing form, so . On the graph the crossing form is .
