Abstract:
Symplectic Geometry Seminar IV - We study the structure of the symplectic group of a linear symplectic space, proving that it contains the unitary group as a maximal compact subgroup. Then we introduce the Maslov index and its relation with the Lagrange Grassmannian. The discussion on the Maslov index will be completed in the next seminar.
