The Breadth of Symplectic and Poisson Geometry: Festschrift in Honor of Alan Weinstein

by Tudor S. Ratiu and J.E. Marsden

One of the world's foremost geometers, Alan Weinstein has made deep contributions to symplectic and differential geometry, Lie theory, mechanics, and related fields. Contributors to this text in Weinstein's honor cover a broad range of topics: Induction and reduction for systems with symmetry, symplectic geometry and topology, geometric quantization, the Weinstein Conjecture, Poisson algebra and geometry, Dirac structures, deformations for Lie...
