Lectures on symplectic manifolds

By: Weinstein, AlanMaterial type: TextTextSeries: Regional Conference Series in Mathematics ; 29Publication details: USA: AMS, [c1977]Description: 48 pISBN: 9780821816790LOC classification: QA1
Contents:
Introduction Lecture 1 - Symplectic manifolds and lagrangian submanifolds, examples Lecture 2 - Lagrangian splittings, real and complex polarizations, Kähler manifolds Lecture 3 - Reduction, the calculus of canonical relations, intermediate polarizations Lecture 4 - Hamiltonian systems and group actions on symplectic manifolds Lecture 5 - Normal forms Lecture 6 - Lagrangian submanifolds and families of functions Lecture 7 - Intersection Theory of Lagrangian submanifolds Lecture 8 - Quantization on cotangent bundles Lecture 9 - Quantization and polarizations Lecture 10 - Quantizing Lagrangian submanifolds and subspaces, construction of the Maslov bundle
Summary: The first six sections of these notes contain a description of some of the basic constructions and results on symplectic manifolds and lagrangian submanifolds. Section 7, on intersections of largrangian submanifolds, is still mostly internal to symplectic geometry, but it contains some applications to machanics and dynamical systems. Sections 8, 9, and 10 are devoted to various aspects of the quantization problem. In Section 10 there is a feedback of ideas from quantization theory into symplectic geometry itslef.

The first six sections of these notes contain a description of some of the basic constructions and results on symplectic manifolds and lagrangian submanifolds. Section 7, on intersections of largrangian submanifolds, is still mostly internal to symplectic geometry, but it contains some applications to machanics and dynamical systems. Sections 8, 9, and 10 are devoted to various aspects of the quantization problem. In Section 10 there is a feedback of ideas from quantization theory into symplectic geometry itslef.
