Among all the Hamiltonian systems, the integrable ones have special geometric properties; in particular, their solutions are very regular and quasi-periodic. The quasi-periodicity of the solutions of an integrable system is a result of the fact that the system is invariant under a (semi-global) torus action. It is thus natural to investigate the symplectic manifolds that can be endowed with a (global) torus action. This leads to symplectic toric manifolds (Part B of this book). Physics makes a surprising come-back in Part A: to describe Mirror Symmetry, one looks for a special kind of Lagrangian submanifolds and integrable systems, the special ... Read more

Reviews for Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems
"This book, an expanded version of the lectures delivered by the authors at the 'Centre de Recerca Matemàtica' Barcelona in July 2001, is designed for a modern introduction to symplectic and contact geometry to graduate students. It can also be useful to research mathematicians interested in integrable systems. The text includes up-to-date references, and has three parts. The first part, ... Read more
