Towards Relative Symplectic Field Theory
September 24 to September 28, 2007
CUNY Graduate Center, New York City

Organizers:
Kai Cieliebak, Tobias Ekholm, Yakov Eliashberg, Kenji Fukaya,
Dennis Sullivan, and Michael Sullivan

Description:
The goal of this workshop, sponsored by AIM, NSF, CUNY Graduate Center
and Stanford Mathematical Research Center (MRC), is to understand
the structure of  relative Symplectic Field Theory (SFT), discuss
and reconcile different versions of  its algebraic formalism, and
to work towards building rigorous foundations of the theory.
There will also be explored  applications of relative SFT to symplectic
and contact topology, as well as low-dimensional topology. 

Deadline:
May 21, 2007
