Summer 2023
Symplectic Cohomology
Description: This is a reading summer happening this summer 2023 aiming to understand constructions of symplectic cohomology and its classical applications. We will go through Abouzaid's lecture notes [Ab15] first, and then discuss some papers about applications of symplectic cohomology to study symplectic topology problems.
