Joint IAS/PU Symplectic Geometry Seminar

A Contact Flow Category

We adapt the construction of global Kuranishi charts to the moduli space of genus 0 SFT buildings. Using these charts, we associate a flow category with any non-degenerate contact manifold where the objects are collections of Reeb orbits and morphisms are moduli of buildings. This is joint work with Amanda Hirschi.
