Riemannian geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies Riemannian manifolds, defined as smooth manifolds with a Riemannian metric (an inner product on the tangent space at each point that varies smoothly from point to point). This gives, in particular, local notions of angle, length of curves, surface area and volume.
Symplectic manifolds arise from classical mechanics; in particular, they are a generalization of the phase space of a closed system. [1] In the same way the Hamilton equations allow one to derive the time evolution of a system from a set of differential equations, the symplectic form should allow one to obtain a vector field describing the flow of the system from the differential of a ...

Let :, (,) be a (left) group action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold ; it is called a Lie group action (or smooth action) if the map is differentiable. Equivalently, a Lie group action of G {\displaystyle G} on M {\displaystyle M} consists of a Lie group homomorphism G → D i f f ( M ) {\displaystyle G\to \mathrm {Diff} (M)} .
