Hamiltonian systems in geometric mechanics and field theory.
Tid: Må 2014-10-27 kl 12.15
Plats: Room 306, building 6, Kräftriket, Department of mathematics, Stockholm university
Medverkande: Olga Rossi, University of Ostrava
The course is a continuation of the advanced course on the calculus of variations on manifolds delivered in spring 2014. The main topic will be the Hamiltonian theory for variational ODEs and PDEs on manifolds, generalizing the successful symplectic setting for classical Hamiltonian mechanics. We shall present an overview of the theory developed since 1980’s, as well as open problems.
