Symplectic Geometry, Contact Dynamics and Billiards
Science / Mathematics
My research lies at the intersection of symplectic geometry, billiard theory, and Hamiltonian dynamics, exploring the intricate connections between these diverse mathematical fields. Symplectic geometry, a fundamental branch of mathematics, provides a natural framework for studying classical mechanics in any space, including the intricate trajectories of billiard balls on a table. I aim to comprehend how the knowledge about billiard trajectories across different tables can impact the type of symplectic geometry and, subsequently, the Hamiltonian dynamics of a related space. Furthermore, I seek to determine if symplectic geometry can aid in resolving open-ended questions regarding the existence of billiard trajectories on complex tables.
