Abstract:
I will recall loop spaces, natural structures on their homology and the relation to symplectic geometry of the cotangent bundle (specifically to chain level structures defined by counting holomorphic curves). I will then zoom in on the equivariant case and a chain model based on de Rham forms and Chern-Simons theory. I will show some computations and explain how this structure appears in various contexts.
We shall meet in the blue lecture room in Zitna 25 and at ZOOM at the same time.
The lecture room and ZOOM shall be opened at 11.15 and closed at 13.00.
