In the context of symplectic geometry and geometric invariant theory, orbits refer to the paths traced by points in a symplectic manifold as they are acted upon by a symplectic group or a Lie group. These orbits encapsulate the notion of symmetry within the manifold and are fundamental in understanding how the structure of the manifold interacts with these groups, particularly when considering quotients formed from these actions.
congrats on reading the definition of Orbits. now let's actually learn it.
