Abstract

Symplectic topology has a long history. It has its roots in classical mechanics and geometric optics and in its modern guise has many connections to other fields of mathematics and theoretical physics ranging from dynamical systems, low-dimensional topology, algebraic and complex geometry, representation theory, and homological algebra, to classical and quantum mechanics, string theory, and mirror symmetry. One of the origins of the subject is the study of the equations of motion arising from the Euler–Lagrange equations of a one-dimensional variational problem. The Hamiltonian formalism arising from a Legendre transformation leads to the notion of a ...
