Chris Woodward (Rutgers):   Pseudoholomorphic quilts and applications

Abstract:

This is joint work with Katrin Wehrheim (MIT). I will survey how functoriality of monotone Lagrangian Floer cohomology for Lagrangian correspondences leads to topological invariants of three-manifolds, possibly containing links marked with conjugacy classes of a compact Lie group, discuss an extension to the Ainfinity setting, and time permitting the connection with symplectic vortices.
