The theory of
holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds leads
to rich algebraic structures. The study of these structures is
increasingly important both for understanding the theory itself, and
for actual computations and applications. The aim of the workshop
is to survey ongoing developments in the area. Some of the topics of
interest are:
- cohomological field theories;
- relative and tropical
Gromov-Witten invariants;
- Symplectic Field Theory (SFT) and connections
with string topology;
- theories of holomorphic curves with Lagrangian
boundary conditions, such as relative SFT, open Gromov-Witten theory,
and Fukaya categories.
This workshop is part of the
2009-2010 Symplectic
and Contact Topology program at MSRI.
