Complexity of Hofer's geometry in higher dimensional manifolds

This paper establishes robust obstructions to representing Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms as $k$-th powers ($k \geq 2$) or embedding them in flows for certain higher-dimensional symplectic manifolds $(M,ω)$, including surface bundles. We prove that in the Hamiltonian group $(\mathrm{Ham}(M,ω), d_H)$ eq
