Clifford lectures

 
 
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.
