Abstract
- Classical mechanical systems are systems where the time evolution depends only on position and momentum. One can describe them with a vector field on the so called phase space - the Hamiltonian vector field. The studies of the dynamics of such a vector field (for example the motion of our planetary system or the 3-body problem) motivated the notion of symplectic and contact structures. In my talk I will explain some of these concepts and describe how they arise from the classical setup.
