Beyond Symplectic Geometry KU Leuven
Symplectic geometry was created as the mathematical foundation of classical mechanics. At the start of the
twentieth century it became the foundation also of quantum mechanics. And since the advent of string theory it
has played a key role in quantum field theory too. The aim of this project is to take the ideas and techniques of
symplectic geometry and apply them to new fields, not in physics, but in geometry itself. We will ...
