GESTA School

Symplectic Geometry with Algebraic Techniques with applications to Mathematical Physics. December 2019

GESTA is the acronym for "Geometry Simpléctica con Técnicas Algebraicas" and corresponds to the name of the Spanish group of mathematicians interested in geometry symplectic, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. The group was part of the European Research Network CAST, Contact and Symplectic Topology (http://www.cast-math.net), and organizes the workshop every year and several itinerant activities between Barcelona, Madrid, Toulouse and Lyon.

With this edition we intend to integrate various aspects of the study of Geometry and Symplectic Topology in problems of mathematics and physics with a special interest in the study of periodic orbits in celestial mechanics problems (which is one of the axes priority of the program). In addition, as already happened in GESTA 2014, we opened the theme of the school to include Poisson Geometry among the subjects of study counting with world experts in this area.

Dates: 10-13 December
