Floer sections in multisymplectic geometry

In symplectic geometry, Floer theory is the most important tool to prove the existence of time-periodic solutions in Hamiltonian mechanics. The core observation is that the L 2 -gradient lines of the symplectic action functional are pseudo-holomorphic curves, enabling the use of elliptic PDE methods. Multisymplectic geometry is the geometric framework underlying Hamiltonian field theory, where the time line is replaced by higher-dimensional manifolds. In the case of two dimensions and using complex structures, we introduce a novel multisymplectic framework that is fit for the generalization of the elliptic methods from symplectic geometry. Besides proving a Darboux theorem, we show that the L 2 -gradient lines of our multisymplectic action functional are now pseudo-Fueter curves defined using a compatible almost hyperkähler structure.
