UC Berkeley/UMass BostonEmbedding Singular Poisson Varieties
Abstract:
Poisson varieties arise as models for mechanical systems
with symmetry. In this talk, I will introduce Poisson
Manifolds/Varieties and discuss an easy-to-state embedding problem for
Poisson varieties. I'll outline the problem of extending such a
Poisson structure to an ambient affine space and provide evidence of a
surprising rigidity displayed by these spaces.
