example 0.0.1

An example that will be especially relevant later is \((\CC^*)^n\). We will equip this with a different symplectic form than the one inherited as a subset of \(\CC^n=\RR^{2n}\). Since \((\CC^*)^n\) is a group, it is natural to ask for a symplectic form on \((\CC^*)^n\) which is invariant under the group action. The symplectic form \[ \omega=\frac{1}{2\pi} d(\log |z|)\wedge d\theta \] gives an example of such a symplectic form. When \(n=1\), then this is the area form on \((\CC^*)\) which embeds into three dimensional space as an infinitely long cylinder, as drawn in figure 0.0.2.
figure 0.0.2:The symplectic structure that we choose for \(\CC^*\) makes it an infinitely long cylinder.
