Explore the fundamental concepts of the h-principle in symplectic geometry in this Members' Seminar talk delivered by Emmy Murphy from Northwestern University. Delve into topics such as equivalence relation, symplectic diffeomorphism, subharmonic functions, and hyperplane distribution. Examine the concept of looseness and its applications, while also investigating algebraic examples and their relevance to contact geometry and structures. Gain insights into this complex mathematical field through clear explanations and illustrative examples provided by an expert in the field.
