Symplectic Geometry and Applications

This is one in a series of meetings organised by the London Dynamical Systems Group, a collaboration between Imperial College London, Queen Mary University of London, and the University of Surrey. The meetings are supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the London Mathematical Society.

• 10.00 - 11.00 Coffee

• 11.00 - 11.45 Tom Bridges (Surrey)
  From classical mechanics to elliptic operators on manifolds via multi-symplecticity

• 11.45 - 12.30 Jeff Lawson (Trinity University)
  Frame bundle techniques for multisymplectic and covariant-Lagrangian field theories

• 12.30 - 1.45 Lunch

• 1.45 - 2.30 Jonathan Munn (Imperial)
  Singular solutions of the EPDiff equations on surfaces with symmetry

• 2.30 - 3.15 Ian Roulstone (Surrey)
  Quaternionic structures in hydrodynamics

• 3.15 - 4.00 Tea

• 4.00 - 4.45 James Montaldi (UMIST)
  Fibering the momentum map

• 4.45 - 5.30 Darryl Holm (LANL/Imperial)
  Singular solitons and momentum maps

• 5.30 - 7.00 Wine etc

The talks will be given in room 10AA04 and coffee, tea and wine consumed in room 31AA04.

Those surviving the day will celebrate by going to a local restaurant for an evening meal.

Directions to the University, including a location map and a map of the campus are available.
