This workshop is an integral part of the program entitled “Moduli Spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves and their applications to symplectic topology.” The program and the workshop focus on two basic approaches to understanding the structure of these moduli spaces:
(1) local finite-dimensional models derived from the local Kuranishi obstruction picture, and
(2) infinite dimensional analysis — the polyfold approach.

The purpose of this program is to examine foundational analytic and topological questions associated with these approaches, especially in key examples such as the closed case (Gromov-Witten theory), Hamiltonian- and Lagrangian-Floer theory and contact homology. The aim is to compare and contrast the approaches with each other and with alternative methods, such as those in algebraic geometry or those provided by Joyce’s derived smooth manifold theory.

This workshop provides an opportunity for those not able to attend the entire program to participate for a week in the program’s activities. This workshop, the second of two workshops tied to the program, will provide a forum to summarize the results of the semester-long activity.

This workshop is a part of the Spring 2014 program, Moduli Spaces of Pseudo-holomorphic curves and their applications to Symplectic Topology , which is organized by Kenji Fukaya, Dusa McDuff, and John Morgan. This program takes place from January 2 – June 30, 2014. 

All workshop talks and discussion periods will be held in the Simons Center Lecture Hall (Room 102).

Tea time will either be in the Simons Center Lobby or on the patio outside of the Art Gallery (weather permitting).
