Abstract

Contact structures on 3-manifolds are given by a hyperplane distribution in the tangent bundle satisfying a condition called "complete non-integrability". Contact structures fall into one of two classes: tight or overtwisted. Ozsvath and Szabo introduced invariants of contact structures using Heegaard Floer homology. In this talk, I will survey some recent results about the tightness and contact invariants of contact 3-manifolds via contact surgery. The talk is based on joint work with Fan Ding and Zhongtao Wu.

Algebraic Geometry Seminar | Contact loci of arcs
Abstract：Contact loci are sets of arcs on a variety with prescribed contact order along a fixed subvariety. They appear in motivic integration, where motivic zeta functions are generating series for classes of contact loci in appropriate Grothendieck groups. We give an overview of recent results relating the basic topology of contact loci of hypersurfaces with a Floer theory and with log minim...

Rigidity in contact topology
AbstractLegendrian links play a central role in low dimensional contact topology. A rigid theory uses invariants constructed via algebraic tools to distinguish Legendrian links. The most influential and powerful invariant is the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra, which set apart the first non-classical Legendrian pair and stimulated many subsequent developments. The functor of poi...
