A SURVEY ON SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY

A symplectic manifold is a pair (M, $\omega$) consisting of a smooth manifold M and a non-degenerate closed 2-form $\omega$ on M. Locally, $\omega$ = (equation omitted) and d$\omega$ = 0, when n = dimM. The condition d$\omega$ = 0 implies that locally $\omega$ = d${\alpha}$ with ${\alpha}$ = (equation omitted). There are three main sources of symplectic manifolds.(omitted)
