Summary
Symplectic geometry serves Hamiltonian dynamics and symplectic mappings occur as time-1-maps of Hamiltonian flows. Studies in the last few years have been done to show that certain things cannot be done by a symplectic mapping, such as mapping a ball into a thinner cylinder. Schlenk shows that certain other things can be done, through elementary an
