BIG CAMERA SHOW presents the work of current students and recent alumni of various BFA and MFA programs working with view camera technologies. For the non-photo nerd, picture an older box camera where the photographer has a dark cloth over their head to focus an upside down and backward image onto a pane of ground glass. Each photograph is made on an individual sheet of large film - for example, the formats most commonly used are 4 by 5 inches and 8 by 10 inches. While they may seem old-school...

Title: Moment Maps and Symplectic Reduction.Abstract: Moment (or more accurately momentum) maps are a tool used to study Hamiltonian actions of Lie groups on symplectic manifolds and generalize the notions of linear and angular momentum in physical systems. Moment maps also appear in the construction of Symplectic quotients, as in the Marsden-Weinstein Theorem. One can think of this Symplectic quotient as a generalization of Noether's Principle, where continuous symmetries correspond to...
