Abstract Mirror symmetry is a conjectured duality which relates the symplectic geometry of a space X to the complex geometry on a mirror space Y. A proposed mechanism for this duality comes from the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture, which states that X and Y should have dual Lagrangian torus fibrations. In this setting, mirror symmetry can be recovered by reducing the symplectic and complex geometry of X and Y to tropical geometry on the base of the fibration.  We provide a different construction of the tropical Lagrangian submanifolds exhibited in the recent work of Matessi and Mikhalkin via Lagrangian cobordisms. I will then explain how we can use cobordisms to prove that these tropical Lagrangian submanifolds are homologically mirror to sheaves supported on divisors with matching tropicalization in a mirror toric variety.

Abstract I will describe joint work with Paul Biran that makes use of the Fukaya category machinery to induce some notions of distance on the space of Lagrangians. A particular application is related to a conjecture of Viterbo that claims the existence of a global bound for the spectral distance between two compact Lagrangians, Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero section, in a fixed unit co-tangent bundle.

Abstract We establish a relation between elliptic curves and symplectomorphsims in the setting of rational and ruled surfaces. It turns out that it is possible to set up one-to-one correspondence between elliptic curves and normal generators of the symplectic mapping class group for a ruled surface of genus one. If time permits we will also discuss the construction of these elliptic symplectomorphisms via fibered Dehn twists introduced by Biran-Giroux.

Titel Symmetric periodic orbit and a conjecture of Seifert

Abstract A symmetric periodic orbit is a special kind of periodic orbit which arises in a Hamiltonian system equipped with an antisymplectic involution. An interesting example is so-called "retrograde periodic orbit" in the planar circular restricted three-body problem, discovered by Birkhoff in 1915. In this talk I will explain Seifert's conjecture on the minimal number of symmetric periodic orbits and give a partial answer to this conjecture. The main ingredients for the proof are equivariant wrapped Floer homology and a suitable assumption on the Robbin-Salamon indices.

Abstract Given a Stein manifold X, under what conditions can we ensure that X is symplectomorphic to C^n? For n>2 the condition of X being diffeomorphic to C^n does not suffice, and many counterexamples have been constructed which are detected by symplectic cohomology and the Fukaya category. One might conjecture that the diffeomorphism type together with a vanishing Fukaya category characterizes C^n. While this question is currently well of of reach, we present some new partial results. The main tools we'll discuss are arboreal singularities, microlocal sheaf theory, and loose Legendrians -- and how they fit together to approach this question.

Abstract Poisson bracket invariants for triples and quadruples of sets we reintroduced by Buhovski, Entov and Polterovich (2012) as a means to study the C^0 symplectic topology of closed subsets of a symplectic manifold.They were found to have applications to the study of Hamiltonian chords (Entov-Polterovich, 2016) and were also applied to the study of asymplectic topological invariant of Lagrangian submanifolds (Entov-G-Membrez, 2016). Interestingly, they manifest various aspects of both rigid and flexible phenomena. We suggest a homotopically flavoured description of the Poisson bracket invariants for tuples of closed sets in symplectic manifolds. It implies a flexibility themed result; namely, that in fact these invariants depend only on the union of the sets, along with some topological data which encodes the manner of decomposition into a tuple of sets.

Abstract It is known (or believed) that quantum cohomology usually has a "real structure" (which is not related to counting real curves). This comes from physics and mirror symmetry, but has interesting mathematical aspects. I will give a review with some historical background, leading upto recent developments.
