Laurent Côté (Universität Bonn): On Floer homotopy theory
Abstract
Floer theory is a rather general framework for producing invariants in symplectic and low-dimensional topology by counting solutions to non-linear elliptic PDEs. Traditionally, Floer theory outputs invariants which are linear over a discrete ring (e.g. Hamiltonian Floer cohomology, the Fukaya category, etc). The subject of Floer homotopy theory is concerned with lifting these constructions to ring spectra. I will give an introduction to this circle of ideas, assuming no background in symplectic geometry (and with the important caveat that I am an interested but mostly innocent bystander).
