Special Year 2011-12: Workshop on Symplectic Dynamics

The Euler equations for the dynamics of a fluid domain with a free surface can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system in an infinite dimensional phase space. The Hamiltonian has been derived by Zakharov, and the Hamiltonian vector field evokes the...

This talk will describe some symplectic invariants and discuss recent progress in understanding them, probably mostly concentrating on questions of symplectic embeddings.
