This is one in a series of papers devoted to the foundations of Symplectic Field Theory sketched in [Y Eliashberg, A Givental and H Hofer, Introduction to Symplectic Field Theory, Geom. Funct. Anal. Special Volume, Part II (2000) 560--673].…
We will show the usefulness of the tools of Symplectic and Presymplectic Geometry and the corresponding Lie algebraic methods in different problems in Geometric Optics.
This paper highlights the similarities between even-dimensional geometry (symplectic) and odd-dimensional geometry (cosymplectic). We study the Lagrangian Grassmannian in the cosymplectic setting. The space of compatible co-complex…
A survey on recent developments in (algebraic) integral geometry is given. The main focus lies on algebraic structures on the space of translation invariant valuations and applications in integral geometry.
The work consists of solutions of metric problems for convex and finite subsets of geodesic spaces.
We show that symplectic Runge-Kutta methods provide effective symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems with index one constraints. These include the Hamiltonian description of variational problems subject to position and velocity…
We give an explicit formula for the Gromov width for a class of symplectic toric manifolds constructed from simple graphs. As a corollary, we show a version of non-squeezing theorem with respect to the inclusion of connected graphs.
This paper uses a generalization of symplectic geometry, known as $n$-symplectic geometry and developed by Norris, to find observables on three-dimensional manifolds. It will be seen that for the cases considered, the $n$-symplectic…
Multisymplectic geometry is an adequate formalism to geometrically describe first order classical field theories. The De Donder-Weyl equations are treated in the framework of multisymplectic geometry, solutions are identified as integral…
We introduce the concept of pseudo symplectic capacities which is a mild generalization of that of symplectic capacities. As a generalization of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity we construct a Hofer-Zehnder type pseudo symplectic capacity and…
We show how to systematically apply the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic method to General Relativity (GR) and to GR extensions. This provides a new coherent frame for Hamiltonian analyses of gravitational theories. The emphasis is on the…
This paper presents a proof of the existence of standard symplectic coordinates near a set of smooth, orthogonally intersecting symplectic submanifolds. It is a generalization of the standard symplectic neighborhood theorem. Moreover, in…
In this paper we discuss three distance functions on the set of convex bodies. In particular we study the convergence of Delzant polytopes, which are fundamental objects in symplectic toric geometry. By using these observations, we derive…
Convex geometry and complex geometry have long had fascinating interactions. This survey offers a tour of a few.
We consider a sequences of symplectic twist maps corresponding to Frenkel Kontorova variational functional. For such a sequence without conjugate points we construct an invariant Lagrangian subbundle. Using the ideas by E.Hopf from…
We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
In light of recent attempts to extend the Cieliebak-Mohnke approach for constructing Gromov-Witten invariants to positive genera, we compare the absolute and relative Gromov-Witten invariants of compact symplectic manifolds when the…
We introduce new invariants associated to collections of compact subsets of a symplectic manifold. They are defined through an elementary-looking variational problem involving Poisson brackets. The proof of the non-triviality of these…
After reformulating Gromov's non-squeezing theorem as an area-inequality, we discuss a seemingly natural higher dimensional generalization.
We extend the famous convexity theorem of Atiyah, Guillemin and Sternberg to the case of non-Hamiltonian actions. We show that the image of a generalized momentum map is a bounded polytope times a vector space. We prove that this picture is…
