Paul Seidel: Characteristic p methods in deformed symplectic cohomology

Date: 2025-06-24

Time: 09:30 - 10:30

Speaker
Paul Seidel, MIT

Abstract

Consider the deformed symplectic cohomology of the complement of a smooth divisor. (This is really a version of relative quantum cohomology.) I will discuss what one can say about it using Petrov-Vaintrob-Vologodsky’s construction of mod p (relative) Fontaine-Laffaille structures, and how that compares to results obtained using quantum Steenrod operations. This is joint work with Dan Pomerleano.
