Introduction to symplectic topology
Tuesday, February 19, 2019
3:00-4:00 PM
1866 East Hall Map
In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the basic concepts in symplectic topology. I will start by outlining the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and showing how symplectic structures naturally arise in this context. I will then discuss and give examples of Hamiltonian flows, symplectomorphisms and moment maps. Speaker(s): Karen Butt (University of Michigan)
