Generalizing symplec tic topology from 1 to 2 dimensions and beyond

Symplektic geometry has flourished since the 1980s as a powerful tool for studyi ng systems of classical mechanics. When the ordinary differential equ ations from classical mechanics are replaced by the partial different ial equations from classical field theory, another formalism is neede d to study this. However, the existing formalisms lack the same power ful tools that exist in symplektic geometry. 

In this diss ertation, a formalism is developed in which these tools can be applie d in classical field theory.

DESCRIPTION: Generalizing symplectic topology from 1 to 2 dimensions a nd beyond Symplektic geometry has flourished since the 1980s as a pow erful tool for studying systems of classical mechanics. When the ordi nary differential equations from classical mechanics are replaced by the partial differential equations from classical field theory, anoth er formalism is needed to study this. However, the existing formalism s lack the same powerful tools that exist in symplektic geometry.&nbs p;In this dissertation, a formalism is developed in which these tools can be applied in classical field theory.More information on the thesis.
