A biased view of symplectic cohomology

Symplectic Geometry 2010-02-15 v6

Abstract

These are lecture notes from my talks at the "Current Developments in Mathematics" conference (Harvard, 2006). They cover a variety of topics involving symplectic cohomology. In particular, a discussion of (algorithmic) classification issues in symplectic and contact topology is included.

37 pages, 2 figures; v2 has added references, slightly expanded discussion of algorithmic recognizability, more balanced account of early developments; v3 has clarifications in the discussion of equivariant symplectic cohomology; v4 with terminology change (Liouville instead of Weinstein), by popular request; v5, one nasty typo removed
