"Hamiltonian Group Actions"


Abstract: Lie groups act on symplectic manifolds on many occasions: symmetries in classical mechanics, the "orbit method" in the representation theory of Lie groups, and even the study of convex polytopes. We will concentrate on classification results for torus actions.
