Legendrian contact homology for Seifert fibered spaces

Series
Geometry Topology Seminar
Time
Monday, October 4, 2010 - 2:00pm for 1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Location
Skiles 269
Speaker
Joan Licata – Stanford University
Organizer
John Etnyre
In this talk, I'll focus on Seifert fibered spaces whose fiber structure is realized by the Reeb orbits of an appropriate contact form. I'll describe a rigorous combinatorial formulation of Legendrian contact homology for Legendrian knots in these manifolds. This work is joint with J. Sabloff.
