Title: The second term in knot Floer homology Abstract:  It is well known that the genus g of a knot is the highest Alexander grading for which the knot Floer homology is

Title: Fixed Q under the reverse operation in the RSK correspondence  Abstract: The RSK correspondence is a bijection between permutations and pairs of standard Young tableaux with identical shape, where the tableaux

Title: The non-orientable 4-ball genus of torus knots Abstract: The non-orientable 4-ball genus of a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is the minimal first Betti number of any smoothly embedded non-orientable surface

Title: On Anosovity, divergence and bi-contact surgery Abstract: I will revisit the relation between Anosov 3-flows and invariant volume forms, from a contact geometric point of view. Consequently, I will

Title: Detection results in link Floer homology  Abstract: In this talk I will briefly describe link Floer homology toolbox and its usefulness. Then I will show how link Floer homology can

Title: Symplectic fillings of lens spaces Abstract: Many contact 3-manifolds arise as boundaries of symplectic 4-manifolds, and we are often interested in the filling problem for a given contact 3-manifold.  That

Title: Slice links and smooth 4-manifolds Abstract: We vary the trace embedding lemma in order to prove results about smooth, closed, simply connected 4-manifolds, studying smoothly slice links in them. We focus

Title: Infinitely many Lagrangian Tori in Milnor fibers constructed via Lagrangian Fillings of Legendrian links Abstract: One approach to studying symplectic manifolds with contact boundary is to consider Lagrangian submanifolds with Legendrian

Title: The homotopy type of a finite 2-complex with non-minimal Euler characteristic Abstract: Two presentations for a group G which have the same deficiency are called exotic if the corresponding presentation complexes
