• Resumen

  • This article introduces a new method to construct volume-filling symplectic embeddings of 4-dimensional ellipsoids by employing polytope mutations in toric and almost toric varieties. The construction uniformly recovers the full sequences for the Fibonacci Staircase of McDuff–Schlenk, the Pell Staircase of Frenkel–Müller and the Cristofaro-Gardiner–Kleinman Staircase, and adds new infinite sequences of ellipsoid embeddings. In addition, we initiate the study of symplectic-tropical curves for almost toric fibrations and emphasize the connection to quiver combinatorics.
