Semester | Spring Semester 2020 |
Lecturers | P. Biran |
Periodicity | non-recurring course |
Language of instruction | English |
Abstract | This will be an introductory course in symplectic geometry and topology. We will cover the simplest instances of symplectic rigidity phenomena, and techniques to detect and study them. The last part of the course will be devoted to more advanced techniques such as Floer theory. |
Objective | Get acquainted with the basics of symplectic topology and phenomena of symplectic rigidity. |
Literature | 1) Book: "Introduction to Symplectic Topology", 3'rd edition, by McDuff and Salamon. Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics 2) Some published articles that will be announced during the semester. |
