Yakov Eliashberg is currently interested in symplectic and contact geometry and topology. While at IAS, he will continue his explorations of boundaries of symplectic flexibility, and will be working on a book on symplectic h-principles. He also intends to learn about applications of h-principle techniques in fluid dynamics.
