Title: A DGA Invariant for Legendrian Knots
Speaker: Wei Zhou (Madrid, Universidad Complutense & ICMAT)
In contact geometry, Legendrian submanifolds are fundamental objects, though their classification remained poorly understood until the 1990s. In this talk, we will review some classical invariants and introduce the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGA invariant in R^3, whose ideas stem from the framework of pseudoholomorphic curves.
Note that this talk will take place at the VU, NU9A46
