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.
