Sheel Ganatra, "Bulk deformations in Floer cohomology."
Abstract: I will define bulk deformations, following Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono and will use them to show that CP2 blown up at 2 points admits a toric Kahler structure in which there is a continuum of non-displaceable Lagrangian tori.
Tova Brown, "Bordered Heegaard Floer homology on mapping cylinders."
Abstract: Bordered Heegaard Floer homology extends Heegaard Floer theory down a dimension, giving invariants of surfaces and of three-manifolds with parametrized boundary. I'll give an overview of this theory, followed by an introduction to the bordered Heegaard Floer invariant for mapping cylinders.
