Clifford Lectures
Tulane University March 25th-28th, 2004
Our annual Clifford
Lectures is featuring a week long series of lectures on Symplectic
Field Theory and its Applications by Professor Yakov
Eliashberg from Stanford
University.
The lectures will be
accompanied by the 2004 Clifford Conference Holomorphic Curves:
Algebra, Geometry, and Analysis.
Most participants
are
being housed at the Hampton Inn, 3626 St. Charles Avenue, corner of St.
Charles Ave. and Foucher St.

Professor
Eliashberg's lectures
Symplectic Field Theory and its
Applications
Symplectic Field
Theory (SFT) lies on the borderline of many areas of Mathematics and
Theoretical Physics, and studies algebraic structures associated with
moduli spaces of holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds.
Besides the general
structure of SFT the lectures will be focused on application of SFT to
symplectic and contact topology, and its interaction with
low-dimensional topology and the theory of integrable systems.
