Introduction to Symplectic Topology

Introduction to Symplectic Topology, 3rd Edition, presents the modern global theory of symplectic topology. Originally published in 1995 as the subject's first comprehensive textbook, the work incorporates major developments driven by analytical and topological methods.

The text establishes foundational concepts in linear geometry and almost complex structures alongside the geometry and construction of symplectic manifolds. It also explores symplectomorphisms and key topological invariants, illustrating how analytical techniques address problems such as the Arnold conjecture.

Published within the Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics series, this edition serves as an accessible resource for graduate students beginning their study while providing an enduring reference for specialists.
