Category theory | Symplectic geometry
In mathematics, Weinstein's symplectic category is (roughly) a category whose objects are symplectic manifolds and whose morphisms are canonical relations, inclusions of Lagrangian submanifolds L into , where the superscript minus means minus the given symplectic form (for example, the graph of a symplectomorphism; hence, minus). The notion was introduced by Alan Weinstein, according to whom "Quantization problems suggest that the category of symplectic manifolds and symplectomorphisms be augmented by the inclusion of canonical relations as morphisms." The composition of canonical relations is given by a fiber product. Strictly speaking, the symplectic category is not a well-defined category (since the composition may not be well-defined) without some transversality conditions. (Wikipedia).
Exploring Symplectic Embeddings and Symplectic Capacities
Speakers o Alex Gajewski o Eli Goldin o Jakwanul Safin o Junhui Zhang Project Leader: Kyler Siegel Abstract: Given a domain (e.g. a ball) in Euclidean space, we can ask what is its volume. We can also ask when one domain can be embedded into another one without distorting volumes. These

Definition of a Surjective Function and a Function that is NOT Surjective
We define what it means for a function to be surjective and explain the intuition behind the definition. We then do an example where we show a function is not surjective. Surjective functions are also called onto functions. Useful Math Supplies https://amzn.to/3Y5TGcv My Recording Gear ht
