The Breadth of symplectic and poisson geometry : Festschrift in Honor of Alan Weinstein
One of the world s foremost geometers, Alan Weinstein has made deep contributions to symplectic and differential geometry, Lie theory, mechanics, and related fields. Written in his honor, the invited papers in this volume reflect the active and vibrant research in these areas and are a tribute to We...
