How to calculate the exterior derivative on manifolds of smooth mappings?
Let $S$ be a compact finite-dimensional manifold $S$ and $(M, \omega)$ a symplectic manifold. The space of smooth maps from $S$ to $M$, denoted by $\mathcal{M}$, has a canonical infinite-dimensional ...

Is the symplectic quotient $\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ unique up to something?
Given a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, we may choose a moment map $\mu \colon M\to \mathfrak{g}^* $ and obtain the symplectic reduction $M/\!\!/G =...
