Floer theory for Hamiltonian PDE using model theory

Abstract: Under natural restrictions it is known that a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is a Hamiltonian PDE which defines a symplectic flow on a symplectic Hilbert space preserving the Hilbert norm. When the potential is one-periodic in time and after passing to the projectivization, it makes sense to ask whether the natural analogue of the Arnold conjecture holds. By employing methods from non-standard model theory we show how Hamiltonian Floer theory can be generalized from finite to infinite dimensions. While our proof entirely builds on finite-dimensional results, we do not ask for any prior knowledge of non-standard model theory.
