2021-T2 Symplectic topology, contact topology and interactions
Symplectic topology, contact topology and interactions, Paris
IHP
Amphithéatre Darboux
Paris
Thematic trimester program at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris (Back to main page)
It has been more than 25 years ago that the previous thematic program on symplectic topology took place at Institut Henri Poincaré. Since then, the field has undergone a spectacular transformation earning itself a central position in the mathematical landscape. It interacts strongly with other fields such as dynamical systems, low dimensional topology, homotopical algebra, and algebraic geometry.
Main events:
- April 19th to 23th: Introductory Spring School (online):
Spring school main page
- April 26th to 30th, research conference

- Friday June 18th : Symplectic online seminar
10h45 : Sushmita Venugopalan (IMSc Chennai) : Tropical Fukaya Algebras Abstract: A multiple cut operation on a symplectic manifold produces a collection of cut spaces, each containing relative normal crossing divisors. We explore what happens to curve count-based invariants when a collection of cuts is applied to a symplectic manifold. The invariant we consider is the Fukaya algebra of a Lagrangian submanifold that is contained in the complement of relative divisors. The ordinary Fukaya algebra in the unbroken manifold is homotopy equivalent to a `broken Fukaya algebra' whose structure maps count `broken disks' associated with rigid tropical graphs. Via a further degeneration, the broken Fukaya algebra is homotopy equivalent to a `tropical Fukaya algebra' whose structure maps are sums of products over vertices of tropical graphs. This is joint work with Chris Woodward.

- Friday June 11th : Symplectic online seminar
10h45 : Pierre Dehornoy (U. Grenoble Alpes) : The genus-one question for open book decomposition Abstract: In dimension 3, every contact structure is supported by an open book decomposition. When the structure is overtwisted one can strengthen the statement and have an OBD with genus-zero pages. For tight structures, there are many examples of OBD with genus-one pages, and Etnyre asked around 2006 whether it always exists. The question is still open. I will discuss a parallel and related question, for Anosov flows instead of contact structures. I will explain some constructions of genus-one OBD, and report on a partial result for OBD with genus-two pages (with the assistance of a computer).

13h45 : Octav Cornea (U. de Montréal) : Triangulation and persistence Abstract: Mixing triangulation (in the sense of triangulated categories) with persistence
(as in persistence modules) leads to a class of interesting pseudo-metrics in a variety of examples: metric spaces, Tamarkin categories, filtered topological spaces, Fukaya categories. I will discuss some generalities concerning this machinery and how it specifically applies to the symplectic context. The talk is based on joint work with Paul Biran (ETH) and Jun Zhang (CRM). |
- Friday June 4th : Symplectic online seminar
10h45 : Alfonso Sorrentino (U. Rome Tor Vergata) : Rigidity phenomena in Billiard and Hamiltonian Dynamics Abstract: In this talk I shall address several rigidity questions appearing in the study of billiard maps and Hamiltonian dynamical systems, with a particular focus on their integrability and their action-spectral properties.
|
13h45 : Yusuke Kawamoto (ENS & Sorbonne Université) : Around a Question of Entov-Polterovich-Py Abstract: In this talk I will discuss a celebrated question posed by Entov, Polterovich and Py on quasimorphisms. First I will explain my partial answer to this question which is based on my preprint and then I will explain other phenomena related to this topic which is a joint work with Egor Shelukhin.

- Friday May 28th : Symplectic online seminar
10h45 : Alberto Abbondandolo (Bochum) : Bi-invariant Lorentz-Finsler structures on the linear symplectic group and contactomorphism group Abstract: It is well known that the linear symplectic group and the contactomorphism group do not admit any bi-invariant metric which is compatible with the Lie group topology. In this talk, I will discuss two mutually related bi-invariant Lorentz-Finsler structures on these groups. The talk is based on some work in progress with Gabriele Benedetti and Leonid Polterovich.
