This workshop aims at bringing together mostly young researchers to spend one week studying the topic of symplectic structures and trisections. Following is a draft list of topics for 16 talks, which will of course be adapted to current trends closer to the actual event.
TALKS
- Symplectic vector spaces
- Definitions of symplectic and contact structures, and basic examples.
- Submanifolds: Lagrangian and Legendrian.
- Review of handle decompositions in smooth topology.
- Weinstein manifolds and Stein surfaces via handles.
- The symplectic geometry of the complex projective plane.
- The moment map for the complex projective plane.
- “Four dimensions from two in symplectic geometry”, following Symington.
- Trisections of smooth 4–manifolds.
- Stein trisections part 1.
- Stein trisections part 2.
- Bridge trisections of surfaces in 4–manifolds.
- Grid diagrams and Lagrangians part 1.
- Grid diagrams and Lagrangians part 2.
- Symplectic surfaces and the symplectic isotopy problem.
- Bridge trisections of complex algebraic curves.
