Harvard UniversityEmbedded contact homology and its applications
Abstract:
Embedded contact homology (ECH) is a tool for relating the
topology of three and four dimensional manifolds to information about
their contact and symplectic geometry. I will give an introduction to
ECH, and discuss some of its applications; an emphasis will be recent
joint work with Hind on using ECH to study high dimensional symplectic
embedding problems.
