Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

A nodal fibration is a Lagrangian T^2-fibration on a symplectic manifold potentially with some singular fibers which are required to be nodal. Using relative Floer theory, it is possible to associate a sheaf of Novikov field algebras to a certain topology on the base of the fibration. In the first lecture, I will review some definitions, and discuss the sheaf property in a more general context. In the second lecture, I will give a progress report on computing the aforementioned sheaf for a nodal fibration. The first part is my thesis work. The second part is joint work in progress with Yoel Groman.
