First Steps Towards a Symplectic Dynamics
by Barney Bramham, Helmut Hofer
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 60
Description:
Both the field of dynamical systems and the field of symplectic geometry have rich theories and the time seems ripe to develop the common core with highly integrated ideas from both fields. We discuss problems which show how dynamical systems questions and symplectic ideas come together in a nontrivial way.

Lectures on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometryby Vincent Bouchard - arXiv
These are introductory lecture notes on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometry. We first define basic concepts of complex and Kahler geometry. We then proceed with an analysis of various definitions of Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Geometry of Quantum Mechanicsby Ingemar Bengtsson - Stockholms universitet, Fysikum
These are the lecture notes from a graduate course in the geometry of quantum mechanics. The idea was to introduce the mathematics in its own right, but not to introduce anything that is not directly relevant to the subject.
