symplectic reduction
Symplectic reduction is a mathematical technique used in symplectic geometry to obtain a reduced symplectic manifold by effectively eliminating certain symmetries or constraints from the original manifold. It involves imposing appropriate constraints on the symplectic forms present and then quotienting out the resulting symmetries, leading to a simplified and smaller symplectic manifold.
