Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Floer theory of symmetric products and Hilbert schemes ---------------------------------------------------------------- December 5 to December 9, 2022 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/floerhilbert ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to recent developments in the study of Lagrangian Floer theory of symmetric products of Riemann surfaces and Hilbert schemes of symplectic 4-manifolds, and their applications both to symplectic topology and the low dimensional topology. The workshop is organized by Mohammed Abouzaid, Kristen Hendricks, Robert Lipshitz, and Cheuk Yu Mak. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/floerhilbert Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than July 20, 2022. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
