"On symplectic measurements and convexity"
Beginn: 16:15 Uhr
Ort: HS 1.04, VSP 1
Abstract:
Inspired by Gromov’s non-squeezing theorem, at the end of the eighties Ekeland and Hofer introduced the notion of symplectic capacity of a subset of the phase space in classical mechanics.
Even when restricted to the class of convex bodies, the behaviour of these symplectic measurements is still quite mysterious and is related to billiard dynamics and to a classical conjecture in convex geometry.
I will take you on a walk through this circle of questions.
