Dr. Yiming Long (Nankai University)

University of British Columbia
Topic:
The fundamental solution of a linear Hamiltonian system is a symplectic matrix path starting from the identity matrix. The study of the index theory of symplectic paths aims at understanding properties of solutions of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems via their linearizations.
