Length and width of Lagrangian cobordisms
3:10pm|S-101

In this talk, I will discuss two measurements of Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds in symplectizations: their length and their relative Gromov width. The Gromov width, in particular, is a fundamental global invariant of...

Monotone Lagrangians in cotangent bundles
Luis Diogo
1:30pm|S-101

We show that there is a 1-parameter family of monotone Lagrangian tori in the cotangent bundle of the 3-sphere with the following property: every compact orientable monotone Lagrangian with non-trivial Floer cohomology is not Hamiltonian...

Gauss-Manin connections from a TQFT viewpoint
1:15pm|S-101

Classically, the Gauss-Manin connection relates the de Rham cohomology of different smooth fibres of a map. Its point of origin is the fact that vector fields act trivially on de Rham cohomology (the Cartan homotopy formula). That fact has an...
