More recently holomorphic curves entered Physics through the String theory, Symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology after seminal works of M. Gromov, C. Taubes and others. The goal of the program is to explore different aspects of the theory of holomorphic curves in their interaction. A special accent will be made on applications to Symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology. Yakov Eliashberg will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor and in residence for the year. Junior mathematicians with an established interest in the domain or a desire to learn about it are encouraged to apply for membership for the year, and if necessary for a grant.
Senior mathematicians are also welcome to apply.
