About:
Symplectic topology is a rapidly developing branch of mathematics, which originated as a geometric tool for understanding qualitative problems of classical mechanics and geometric optics. Symplectic manifolds represent the phase spaces of mechanical systems, and their morphisms play the role of admissible motions. Gromov understood that holomorphic curves can be used to study symplectic manifolds and Hamiltonian systems. The conference was held in honour of Dusa McDuff's 70th birthday.
Symplectic topology has become so vast a field that this workshop focused on holomorphic curves, groups of symplectic diffeomorphisms, symplectic packings and symplectic structures.
