Pair-of-pants decompositions
Wednesday January 30, 2008
01:30PM - 02:30PM
Speakers:
Paul Seidel
Abstract:
I will explain some of the facts about pair-of-pants decompositions as they occur in low-dimensional topology; higher-dimensional generalizations suggested by tropical geometry (Mikhalkin); and some hints of how this might be useful in symplectic geometry. This subject is still young but hopefully we'll find out more in 2009/10, when all of these fields will be represented at MSRI.
