Heegaard Floer Homology
Symplectic Geometry Seminar at HU Berlin
This is a working group seminar run by Prof. Chris Wendl, Prof. Klaus Mohnke and Prof. Thomas Walpuski. The main topic of the seminar this semester is going to be Heegaard--Floer homology. A basic understanding of topology and differential geometry is sufficient to follow the talks in this seminar. If you're interested in giving a talk or have any questions, feel free to send an email to Chun-Sheng Hsueh or Naageswaran Manikandan.
If you plan to participate in the seminar, please join the moodle (the enrollment key is "Heegaard"). The moodle will be used for time-sensitive announcements. If you don't have an HU account, you can still register for the HU Moodle with an external e-mail address by following the procedure given in this webpage.

There will be the 4th edition of Berlin Brandenburg Workshop: Knot theory and its application on December 9, 2024 and atleast one of those talks in the workshop will be on Heegaard--Floer homolgy. Save the date!
The first seminar will be held on October 21, 2024. There will be a brief introductory talk on Heegaard Floer homology, followed by the assignment of talks to participants. If you're interested in giving a talk but cannot attend the first session, please email Chun-Sheng Hsueh or Naageswaran Manikandan with the topics you're interested in.
