Cohomologous Symplectic Forms with Different Gromov Widths
Shengzhen Ning
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

For closed symplectic manifolds, the Gromov width is among the most fundamental symplectic capacities: it measures the size of the largest embedded symplectic ball and is sensitive to the perturbation of the symplectic forms. A natural question...

Invariant Distances on Legendrian Spaces
Pierre-Alexandre Arlove
9:15am|Remote Access

I will begin by motivating the study of invariant distances on spaces of Legendrians. I will then discuss two main results:
(a) the construction of a new unbounded invariant distance on the universal cover of many Legendrian isotopy classes ;
(b) the...
