Singular algebraic curves and quantitative symplectic embeddings
Overview
This workshop aims to bridge connections between two specific areas of mathematics: (i) singular algebraic curve theory, and (ii) the study of quantitative symplectic embeddings. Although relations between these areas have been observed going back to Gromov’s foundational pseudoholomorphic curves paper, the relevant groups of researchers are still largely isolated from one another, partly due to a lack of widespread familiarity with each other’s terminology, literature, and motivating questions. Thanks to many important developments in the last two decades, and especially in the last few years, this is an opportune time to bring researchers from these areas together, in order to discuss how recent techniques might shed light on major questions in both fields. We expect that a small amount of overhead in conveying background results and terminology could open up significant new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations, with the potential for fruitful flow of information in multiple directions.
