Abstract

We define and solve the toric version of the symplectic ball packing problem, in the sense of listing all 2n-dimensional symplectic–toric manifolds which admit a perfect packing by balls embedded in a symplectic and torus equivariant fashion.In order to do this we first describe a problem in geometric–combinatorics which is equivalent to the toric symplectic ball packing problem. Then we solve this problem using arguments from Convex Geometry and Delzant theory.Applications to symplectic blowing-up are also presented, and some further questions are raised in the last section.
