Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The goal of this project was to provide analytical foundations for symplectic field theory (SFT), a unified theory of holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds, and apply them to questions in symplectic topology. The realization early in the project that the envisioned techniques are not suitable for the most general cases of SFT led to a course correction of the corresponding subproject. After this, the following results were obtained: A rigorous definition of higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants on general symplectic manifolds; • foundations for the algebraic structures arising in SFT, higher genus Lagrangian Floer homology, and string topology; • transversality for holomorphic curves in the complement of a Lagrangian embedding with applications, among them the proof of Audin’s conjecture that every Lagrangian torus in Cn has minimal Maslov number 2; • a proof of the isomorphism between the cord algebra of a knot in R3 and the Legendrian contact homology of its conormal bundle; • a partial Giroux correspondence between stable Hamiltonian structures and open books; • a new connection between the Euler equations of hydrodynamics and stable Hamiltonian structures; • a partial classification result for monotone Lagrangian tori in S2 × S2.
