"Local Normal Forms for Hamiltonian Actions of Poisson-Lie Groups"
In this talk, we'll discuss what it means for a Poisson-Lie group to act Hamiltonianly on a symplectic manifold, the bridge between classical and Poisson-Lie Hamiltonian actions, and the analogue to the classical local normal form theory for Hamiltonian actions of Poisson-Lie groups on symplectic manifolds. We will restrict our attention to compact Poisson-Lie groups, where these constructions can be made explicit enough to provide a class of computable (in theory) examples. This talk is based on a project supervised by Dr. Harada and Dr. Lane at McMaster University.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
