I will give an introduction to how symplectic techniques can be usedÌýÌý to better understand some aspects of Hamiltonian systems.Ìý My talk will survey a beautiful body of work due to Floer, Hofer, Ginzburg, and others on the existence problem for periodic orbits of autonomous and non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems.Ìý I will also briefly discuss some applications to the planar restricted three-body problem.Ìý No prerequisite knowledge of symplectic geometry will be required.
