In this talk we explain how the Toda lattice model, one of the earliest examples of nonlinear completely integrable systems, can demonstrate that certain configurations in the classical phase space are, in fact, symplectic balls in disguise. No background in symplectic geometry is needed. The talk is based on a joint work with Vinicius Ramos and Daniele Sepe.
Important information: A light lunch will be served right after. From now on, announcements regarding our Mathematics Colloquium will be sent only to the pure math department mailing list. If you are not on that list and wish to receive future announcements, please REGISTER to this mailing list. There is also a calendar you can add to your own google calendar, it'll be updated whenever a talk is added to the schedule.
We greatly encourage all faculty, students and postdocs to attend.
See you there!
Shira and Shachar.
