Cylindrical contact homology in dimension 3 via intersection theory and more.
Abstract: After reviewing the difficulties in proving d²=0 for dynamically convex
contact manifolds, we explain how intersection theory and automatic
transversality come to the rescue, as implemented by Hutchings-Nelson.
So that these methods do not remain shrouded
in mystery, we provide an overview of the relevant ideas from
intersection theory for pseudoholomorphic in 4-dimensional
symplectizations a la Siefring and Hutchings. Time permitting we end
with a brief sketch of how to obtain invariance of cylindrical contact
homology over Q via nonequivariant formulations, obstruction bundle
gluing, domain dependent almost complex structures, and S¹-equivariant
constructions. The discussion of invariance is based on work in
progress by Hutchings-Nelson..

Orientability in real Gromov-Witten theory.
Résumé: The orientability problem in real Gromov-Witten theory is
one of the fundamental hurdles to enumerating real curves. In this
talk I will describe topological conditions on the target manifold
which ensure that the uncompactified moduli spaces of real maps are
orientable for all genera of and for all types of involutions on the
domain. In the case of a fixed-point free involution on the target the
result yields real Gromov-Witten invariants of arbitrary genus. This
is a joint work with A. Zinger..
