Length minimizing paths in Ham(M,\omega)

Abstract: We will discuss the Hofer and spectral geometry of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of any closed symplectic manifold. Many authors have worked in this area, and the goal of the lecture will be to discuss the scope of this problem and recent results. Attention will be paid to the Floer theoretical side of the story.

We meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, with the third meeting of each month in Altoona. If you are interested in giving a talk in our seminar please contact one of the coordinators for the Fall 2007 semester: Young Choi and Aissa Wade.
