FLOER HOMOLOGY, DYNAMICS AND GROUPS [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We discuss some recent results on algebraic properties of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold. We focus on two topics which lie at the interface between Floer theory and dynamics: 1) Restrictions on Hamiltonian actions of finitely generated groups, including a Hamiltonian version of the Zimmer program dealing with actions of lattices; 2) Quasi-morphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The unifying theme is the study of distortion of cyclic and one-parameter subgroups with respect to various metrics on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms.
