Notes on GIT and symplectic reduction for bundles and varieties
read the original abstract
These notes give an introduction to Geometric Invariant Theory and symplectic reduction, with lots of pictures and simple examples. We describe their applications to moduli of bundles and varieties, and their infinite dimensional analogues in gauge theory and the theory of special metrics on algebraic varieties. Donaldson's "quantisation" link between the infinite and finite dimensional situations is described, as are surprisingly strong connections between the bundle and variety cases.

The Geometry Underlying the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator
Eigenfunctions of the 2D quantum harmonic oscillator map to Z_n-invariant classical particle motions along circles in lens spaces S^3/Z_n inside the reduced phase space C^2/Z_n.
