Abstract The geometry of a symplectic manifold is often studied by studying its Lagrangian submanifolds. In our talk, we consider the relation of Lagrangian cobordisms between Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, we carefully define Lagrangian cobordisms and give the main examples (Lagrangian suspension and surgery cobordisms) along with some pictures. Lagrangian cobordisms induce an equivalence relation on the set of Lagrangian submanifolds. We indicate through examples how to classify all exact Lagrangian submanifolds of punctured Riemann surfaces up to Lagrangian cobordisms.

Abstract In the first talk, we cover the basics of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann (short LS) theory in the context of closed geodesics. The goal of this talk is to provide a partial proof of the existence of at least one closed geodesic on a compact Riemannian manifold, following Lusternik and Fet. In the second part we present a Hamiltonian version of LS theory by defining spectral invariants and then explain how these are related to classical LS Theory. Along the way, we define the Hofer-Zehnder capacity and show that the finiteness thereof has striking dynamical consequences. At the end, we will discuss a Theorem of Irie that asserts the finiteness of certain Hofer-Zehnder capacities using the machinery of spectral invariants.

Abstract We will discuss the topological origin of A_infinity-algebras by looking at loop spaces: The failure of the concatenation map to be associative can be measured in a rigorous way by an infinite sequence of higher homotopies. We will see how this allows us to recognise loop spaces and how it leads to the notion of A_infinity-algebras. In the second part we will introduce pearly Floer cohomology for certain exact Lagrangian immersions and provide some examples of computations. At the end, we will discuss the product structure on pearly cohomology and mention how to obtain an A_infinity-algebra associated to a Lagrangian immersion.

Abstract Open book decompositions have been a versatile tool in the study of contact manifolds and their topology. In addition to providing several examples and outlining fundamental results concerning these objects, we explain how they naturally arise in the context of Lefschetz fibrations in symplectic geometry. Another important notion in studying contact and symplectic geometry on a smooth manifold is symplectic fillability. In the second part of the talk, we will describe the interplay between open book decompositions and Lefschetz fibrations in the context of symplectic fillings.

Abstract In recent year there have been several developments in the study of Reeb dynamics on non-compact hypersurfaces - on one hand the tools of b-symplectic and b-contact geometry, on the other hand the Rabinowitz Floer homology for tentacular hyperboloids. However, up to now it was not clear if those two methods are related. In our talk we will present the first result in establishing a link between those two settings. In other words, we will show how to use the McGeehe transformation to endow a certain class of symplectic hyperboloids with a b-contact structure.

Abstract Liouville manifolds are a well known example of symplectic manifolds. In our talk we extend this definition to include manifolds with boundary and introduce a special example called the Liouville Sectors. Further on we will analyze and discuss the duality between the analytic and topological conditions describing Liouville Sectors. The talk is based on the work by Ganatra, Pardon, and Shende.
