PIMS Symplectic Geometry Seminar: Coisotropic submanifolds, deformation, and models for the leaf space of a foliation
- Date: 03/25/2010
Lecturer(s):
Noah Kieserman (Bowdoin College)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Description:
Coisotropic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds are canonically foliated. Their deformation is described by an L-infinity algebra with a known geometric description. I will describe some calculations with the obstruction theory of this L-infinity algebra, and my attempts to relate this to models for the leaf space of the foliation.
Schedule:
2:00 - 3:00pm, WMAX 216.
