Transversality in contact homology December 8 to December 12, 2014 American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, CA Organizers: Joel Fish, Michael Hutchings, Joanna Nelson, and Katrin Wehrheim Description: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring together specialists in symplectic and contact topology with the goals of clarifying the gaps in current arguments concerning the definition of contact homology and of moving forward to fill these gaps and build precise foundations for the cylindrical, linearized, local, and possibly other versions of contact homology. Deadline: August 8, 2014 Details: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/transcontacthom
