Sard's Theorem for Min-functions According to Yomdin
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Consider a $Ck$ function $F : M^m \times N^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined on the product of the manifold $Mm$ of dimension $m$ with the compact manifold $Nn$ of dimension $n$. 

The function defined by ${\textstyle\inf_{N^n} F} : M^m...

Stably Folded Hamiltonian Manifolds and the Singular Symplectic Topology of Moduli Spaces of Pseudoholomorphic Curves
Dustin Connery-Grigg
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

A basic object in the modern study of symplectic topology is the space M_g(A,J) of J-holomorphic curves of genus g representing the homology class A in a symplectic manifold (M,w). In a wide variety of situations, this space is a compact manifold...
