A special trimester on Contact and Symplectic Topology
will be held at Nantes University during the summer 2011.
Researchers in the field will be invited for
extended periods at Laboratoire Jean Leray throughout the trimester. Researchers are welcome to
interact and to give mini lectures on their favorite topics.
The peak of the activity held from
may 30th to june 18th 2011 will consist of
a two weeks summer
school (may 30th - june 10th 2011) and
an international conference (june 14th - june 18th 2011).
Organising Committee : Yann Rollin, Vincent Colin and Paolo Ghiggini
Focus of the trimester
- Interactions between contact topology, symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology
- Applications of gauge theory and Heegaard Floer homology to contact topology
- Contact homology and Symplectic Field Theory
- Contact topology in higher dimension
- Floer homologies
