  Symplectic manifold
Fundamental examples of symplectic manifolds are given by the cotangent bundles of manifolds; these arise in classical mechanics, where the set of all possible configurations of a system is modelled as a manifold, and this manifold's cotangent bundle describes the phase space of the system.
Since the symplectic form on a symplectic manifold is nondegenerate, it sets up an isomorphism between the tangent bundle and the cotangent bundle, thus establishing a one-to-one correspondence between tangent vectors and one-forms.
A Riemann surface mapped into a symplectic manifold compatibly with the almost complex structure is called a pseudoholomorphic curve, and Gromov proved a compactness theorem for such curves; this result has led to the development of a fairly large subdiscipline of symplectic topology.

The symplectic group of degree 2''n'' over a field (mathematics),field ''F'', denoted Sp(2''n'', ''F''), is the group (math),group of ''2n'' by ''2n'' symplectic matrix,symplectic matrices with entries in ''F'', and with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
Since all symplectic matrices have unit determinant, the symplectic group is a subgroup of the special linear group SL(2''n'', ''F'').
More abstractly, the symplectic group can be defined as the set of linear transformations of a 2''n''-dimensional vector space over ''F'' that preserve a nondegenerate, skew-symmetric, bilinear form.

 ENIGMA-RANDOM MATRICES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
A related class of matrix integrals (in a certain sense the ``holomorphic square roots'' of normal matrix integrals) have recently made their appearance in the string literature, after the seminal paper of R.Dijkgraaf and C.Vafa,and are expected to be important objects in supersymmetric gauge theory and strings.
The Hermitian matrix integrals are tau-functions for the Toda lattice, whereas Adler-van Moerbeke show the symmetric and symplectic matrix integrals are tau-functions for a new lattice, the Pfaff lattice and also they satisfy a subalgebra of Virasoro constraints.
Another generalization is to replace the unitary group invariance by orthogonal or symplectic, and further extend the results obtained for the 1-matrix model to all symmetric-spaces ensembles of random matrices.

A new method is presented for the numerical computation of the generalized eigen- values of real Hamiltonian or symplectic pencils and matrices.
The method is strongly backward stable, i.e., it is numerically backward stable and preserves the structure (i.e., Hamiltonian or symplectic).
In the case of a Hamiltonian matrix the method is closely related to the square reduced method of Van Loan, but in contrast to that method which may suffer from a loss of accuracy of order sqrt(epsilon), where epsilon is the machine precision, the new method computes the eigenvalues to full possible accuracy.
