This is a working group seminar run by Klaus Mohnke and Chris Wendl on recent developments in symplectic geometry. Participants are expected to be familiar with the basics of symplectic geometry, including some knowledge of holomorphic curves and/or Floer-type theories. The seminar will be conducted in English.
Our main objective this semester will be to understand the paper Subflexible symplectic manifolds by Emmy Murphy and Kyler Siegel. As background to prepare for this, we are likely to also talk about the following papers:
Scheduling (updated!):
Starting in the second week (October 24), the seminar will meet
on Mondays 9:30 - 11:00 (s.t.) in 1.315
(Rudower Chaussee 25).
