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.

Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in geometry and topology.

• Chapters
• A Lagrangian quantum homology
• A survey of contact homology
• Minimal atlases of closed contact manifolds
• The role of string topology in symplectic field theory
• A Morse theoretic description of string topology
• A version of rational SFT for exact Lagrangian cobordisms in 1-jet spaces
• Canonical models of filtered $A_\infty$-algebras and Morse complexes
• Constructing Stein manifolds after Eliashberg
• Floer homology groups in hyperkähler geometry
• The embedded contact homology index revisited
• Positive Legendrian regular homotopies
• Symplectic birational geometry
• Heegaard Floer homology, double points and nice diagrams

• Reviews

• ...an important book that needs to be read.
