Symplectic topology of Brieskorn singularities – Cagri Karakurt (Bogazici University)
ZoomAbstract: Cagri will talk about some symplectic/contact topological aspects of Brieskorn singularities $x^p+y^q+z^r=0$. He’ll tell how to draw the surgery diagrams of their canonical contact structures and prove that the
