Speaker: Richard Hind (Notre Dame University) Title: "Quantitative results in symplectic geometry" Room: MC 108 Abstract: Symplectic geometry sometimes seems much like Riemannian geometry, that is, rigid, and other times resembles differential topology, that is, there is much more flexibility in constructions. We will discuss examples like embedding and isotopy problems which are rigid only within a certain range of parameters. Quantitative symplectic geometry aims to determine the critical transition parameters. |
