    CRM Proceedings & Lecture Notes
    Volume: 492009; 242 pp
    MSC: Primary 53; Secondary 37; 58; 34

    This volume, in honor of Yakov Eliashberg, gives a panorama of some of the most fascinating recent developments in symplectic, contact and gauge theories. It contains research papers aimed at experts, as well as a series of skillfully written surveys accessible for a broad geometrically oriented readership from the graduate level onwards. This collection will serve as an enduring source of information and ideas for those who want to enter this exciting area as well as for experts.

    Titles in this series are co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
