Symplectic Reading Seminar

This weekly online seminar is joint-organized by ShanghaiTech University, USTC-IGP, Yonsei University, and Zhejiang University. See also our joint symplectic seminar.

This reading seminar aims to study various interesting topics and machinery in symplectic geometry. The topic in this semester (Spring 2023) is the virtual techniques, in particular, the global Kuranishi charts based on the work from Abouzaid-McLean-Smith. Here is a rough plan of the reading seminar. We will post the notes and recorded videos.

This reading seminar series expects to expand in its size in the future, hoping to include more students/postdocs to get involved. The tentative topic for the next semester (2023 Fall) will be "Symplectic dynamics on surfaces" led by Jun Zhang. You are encouraged to email us to propose future topics that could be of interests to a larger group of young symplectic geometers or if you want to lead such a seminar in a future semester.

Organizing committee: Hansol Hong, Junwu Tu, Weiwei Wu, Jun Zhang.
