Abstract
- ECH capacities give obstructions to symplectically embedding one symplectic four-manifold with boundary into another. We compute the ECH capacities of a large family of symplectic four-manifolds with boundary, called "concave toric domains". Examples include the (nondisjoint) union of two ellipsoids in $\mathbb{R}^4$. We use these calculations to find sharp obstructions to certain symplectic embeddings involving concave toric domains. For example: (1) we calculate the Gromov width of every concave toric domain; (2) we show that many inclusions of an ellipsoid into the union of an ellipsoid and a cylinder are "optimal"; and (3) we find a sharp obstruction to ball packings into certain unions of an ellipsoid and a cylinder.<br />Comment: 31 pages, 2 figures; fixed one typo, updated references, to appear in Journal of Topology
