The word symplectic is never used in the paper, but one of the first fact he proves is Liouville's theorem: a Hamiltonian flow on the standard symplectic $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ preserves the symplectic volume. In any case, it is an excellent read for a mathematician. | |

I put this paper on my table since usually Kapranov's papers are very insightful, unfortunately I did not have time to read it... | |
