Polytopes, dualities, and Floer homology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperResearch

Abstract

This article is an exposition of a body of existing results, together with an announcement of recent results. We discuss a theory of polytopes associated to bipartite graphs and trinities, developed by Kálmán, Postnikov and others. This theory exhibits a variety of interesting duality and triality relations, and extends into knot theory, 3-manifold topology and Floer homology. In recent joint work with Kálmán, we extend this story into contact topology and contact invariants in sutured Floer homology.

Conference

ConferenceGromov-Witten Theory, Gauge Theory and Dualities, 2016
Country/TerritoryAustralia
CityKioloa
Period6/01/1616/01/16
OtherThe event consists of two parts, a series of introductory mini-courses held at the ANU Canberra from 6-9 Jan,2016 followed by an international conference at the ANU Kioloa campus, from 10-16 Jan, 2016. The aim of the mini-courses are to familiarise postgraduate students and early career researchers with some of the mathematical techniques for the study of moduli spaces from gauge theory and Gromov-Witten theory, while the conference brings together leading international researchers in this area.
