Symplectic geometry | Representation theory
In mathematical field of representation theory, a symplectic representation is a representation of a group or a Lie algebra on a symplectic vector space (V, ω) which preserves the symplectic form ω. Here ω is a nondegenerate skew symmetric bilinear form where F is the field of scalars. A representation of a group G preserves ω if for all g in G and v, w in V, whereas a representation of a Lie algebra g preserves ω if for all ξ in g and v, w in V. Thus a representation of G or g is equivalently a group or Lie algebra homomorphism from G or g to the symplectic group Sp(V,ω) or its Lie algebra sp(V,ω) If G is a compact group (for example, a finite group), and F is the field of complex numbers, then by introducing a compatible unitary structure (which exists by an averaging argument), one can show that any complex symplectic representation is a quaternionic representation. Quaternionic representations of finite or compact groups are often called symplectic representations, and may be identified using the Frobenius–Schur indicator. (Wikipedia).
Representation theory: Introduction
This lecture is an introduction to representation theory of finite groups. We define linear and permutation representations, and give some examples for the icosahedral group. We then discuss the problem of writing a representation as a sum of smaller ones, which leads to the concept of irr

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
