Comprehensive Exam Presentation
Time: 13:30
Speaker: Chandra Rajamani (Western)
Title: "PhD Comprehensive Presentation"
Room: MC 108

Abstract: Let M be a symplectic manifold. It has a group of structure preserving automorphisms called the Symplectomorphism group. This group has a lie subgroup called the Hamiltonian group. It is known that the number of conjugacy classes of maximal tori in Ham by Symp is finite for 4 dimensional M. This result also holds in general when the torus has half the dimension of M. We hope to generalize this result to Symplectic orbifolds. This result leads to implications on conjugacy classes of maximal tori in the Contactomorphism group of a compact contact manifold.
