Summer school: 2 - 6 June 2025
Conference: 9 - 13 June 2025
The summer school is aimed at graduate students in low-dimensional topology. The goal is to make students familiar with the novel techniques in the field that have led to recent advances in our understanding of four-dimensional manifolds.
The program will consist of four mini-courses of 5 lectures each, all accompanied by discussion sessions:
2. Real Seiberg-Witten theory (by Hokuto Konno and Ian Montague) 3. Kontsevich invariants from configuration spaces (by Jianfeng Lin and Danica Kosanovic) 4. Lefschetz fibrations and closed exotic 4-manifolds (by Andras Stipsicz and Zoltan Szabo)
The conference will consist of several research talks on topics of current interest in low dimensional topology, including four-manifolds, knot invariants, categorification, gauge theory, and connections to physics.
