Symplectic and inverse spectral geometry of integrable systems: A glimpse and open problems

Abstract

We first give a glimpse of finite dimensional classical integrable Hamiltonian systems from the point of view of symplectic geometry and briefly discuss their quantum counterparts, with an emphasis on recent progress on inverse spectral geometry. Then we propose several open problems about the geometry, topology and dynamics of these systems. The problems are largely motivated by the works of a number of authors, including Arnold, Atiyah, Colin de Verdière, Delzant, Duistermaat, Eliasson, Fomenko, Guillemin, Kolmogorov, Kostant, Moser and Sternberg.
