     Relying on Gromov's nonsqueezing theorem for finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems, the argument is to approximate the solutions to the original infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system by a frequency truncated finite dimensional system, and then the nonsqueezing property is transferred to the infinite dimensional system.
