Frédéric Bourgeois (ULB):  A long exact sequence for symplectic and contact homology

Abstract:

Given a symplectic manifold with convex boundary, one can define its symplectic homology and the contact homology of its boundary. The aim of this talk is to show that these invariants are related by a long exact sequence and to illustrate this relationship with several examples. This is a joint work in progress with Alexandru Oancea.
