Title of Talk: Gromov-Tischler theorem for symplectic stratified spaces

Venue: AG-77
Abstract: Singular symplectic spaces appear naturally as examples of reduced Hamiltonian phase spaces in physics as well as singular projective algebraic varieties in mathematics. We give a unified and geometric definition for these objects, and prove a singular variant of the Gromov-Tischler theorem: such a space with an integral symplectic form can always be embedded symplectically inside the complex projective space. On the way we discuss the topology of stratified spaces, symplectic reduction and $h$-principles.
