We are excited to announce the Proceedings Volume of the first Research Collaboration Conference for Women in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology held in July 2019 at ICERM, Brown University. This volume is expected to be out by late 2021 as a part of AWM-Springer Series.

Please follow the official link below for the updates:

The accepted papers are:

1. On Khovanov homology and related invariants [arXiv]

2. An introduction to Weinstein handlebodies for complements of smoothed toric divisors [arXiv]

3. Braids, fibered knots, and concordance questions [arXiv]

4. A Polyfold proof of Gromov's non-squeezing theorem [arXiv]

5. Infinite staircases for Hirzebruch surfaces [arXiv]

6. Constructions of Lagrangian cobordisms [arXiv]

7. Action-angle and complex coordinates on toric manifolds [arXiv]

We are calling for submissions for the Proceedings of the 2019 Women in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology (WiSCon) Workshop, entitled "Research in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology”, which will be published as a volume in the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Springer series. 

The AWM-Springer series are a new initiative by AWM:

https://www.springer.com/series/13764 

and are refereed proceedings at the level of the AMS Contemporary Mathematics standards.

This particular volume in the series is a follow-up to the first WiSCon Conference which was held at ICERM in July 2019. We solicit submissions in the area of symplectic and contact geometry and topology, broadly interpreted. 

Submission Details. 

The manuscripts should be submitted to the Editors at: wiscon2019[at]gmail.com 

Submissions should be reports on original work or survey papers. Please indicate (in the title of the message) whether your contribution is a research or a review paper. While priority will be given to submissions co-authored by participants in the workshop, we expect to have room for additional papers, and welcome contributions from any WiSCon network member or ally.

Deadline. 

We would like to receive all contributions by 

***February 15, 2020***. 

All submitted papers will undergo a refereeing process immediately upon submission. 

Please direct questions to the Editors at: wiscon2019[at]gmail.com 

We will be looking forward to your contributions!
