Lie derivatives of differential forms
Introduces the lie derivative, and its action on differential forms. This is applied to symplectic geometry, with proof that the lie derivative of the symplectic form along a Hamiltonian vector field is zero. This is really an application of the wonderfully named "Cartan's magic formula"

11_7_1 Potential Function of a Vector Field Part 1
The gradient of a function is a vector. n-Dimensional space can be filled up with countless vectors as values as inserted into a gradient function. This is then referred to as a vector field. Some vector fields have potential functions. In this video we start to look at how to calculat

Equivariant structures in mirror symmetry - James Pascaleff
James Pascaleff University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign October 17, 2014 When a variety XX is equipped with the action of an algebraic group GG, it is natural to study the GG-equivariant vector bundles or coherent sheaves on XX. When XX furthermore has a mirror partner YY, one can ask

Erlend Fornæss Wold: Symplectic Carleman approximation on co-adjoint orbits
For a complex Lie group $G$ with a real form $G_{0}\subset G$, we prove that any Hamiltionian automorphism $\phi$ of a coadjoint orbit $\mathcal{O}_{0}$ of $G_{0}$ whose connected components are simply connected, may be approximated by holomorphic $O_{0}$-invariant symplectic automorphism

Alberto Cattaneo: An introduction to the BV-BFV Formalism
Abstract: The BV-BFV formalism unifies the BV formalism (which deals with the problem of fixing the gauge of field theories on closed manifolds) with the BFV formalism (which yields a cohomological resolution of the reduced phase space of a classical field theory). I will explain how this
