Symplectic Geometry

by Dietmar Salamon (Editor)

Overview

The area of symplectic geometry has developed rapidly in the past ten years with major new discoveries that were motivated by and have provided links with many other subjects such as dynamical systems, topology, gauge theory, mathematical physics, and singularity theory. The contributions to this volume reflect the richness of the subject and include expository papers as well as original research.
