Hamiltonian Systems
by Albert Chern (University of California, San Diego)
This talk explores the geometry of the space of codimension-2 submanifolds. We implicitly represent these submanifolds by a class of complex-valued functions. This reveals a prequantum bundle structure over the space of submanifolds, equipped with the well-known Marsden-Weinstein symplectic structure. This bundle allows a new physical interpretation of the Marsden-Weinstein structure as the curvature of a connection form, which measures the average of volumes swept by the deformation of the S^1-family of hypersurfaces, defined as the phases of a complex function implicitly representing a submanifold. This is a joint work with Sadashige Ishida.
