Johanna Bimmermann : From Magnetically Twisted to Hyperkähler The tangent bundle of a Kähler manifold admits in a neighborhood of the zero section a hyperkähler structure. From a symplectic point of view, this means we have three symplectic structures all compatible with a single metric. Two of the three symplectic structures are easy to describe in terms of the canonic symplectic structure. The third one is harder to describe, but in the case of hermitian symmetric spaces, there is an explicit formula found by Biquard and Gauduchon. In this talk, I will construct a surprising diffeomorphism of the tangent bundle of a hermitian symmetric space that identifies this third symplectic structure with the magnetically twisted symplectic structure, where the twist is given by the Kähler form on the base. Soham Chanda : Augmentation Varieties and Disk Potential Dimitroglou-Rizell-Golovko constructs a family of Legendrians in prequantization bundles by taking lifts of monotone Lagrangians. These lifted Legendrians have a Morse-Bott family of Reeb chords. We construct a version of Legendrian Contact Homology (LCH) for Rizell-Golovko's lifted Legendrians by counting treed disks. Our formalism of LCH allows us to obtain augmentations from certain non-exact fillings. We prove a conjecture of Rizell-Golovko relating the augmentation variety assoiciated to the LCH of a lifted Legendrian and the disk potential of the base Lagrangian. As an application, we show that lifts of monotone Lagrangian tori in projective spaces with different disk-potentials, e.g. as constructed by Vianna, produce non-isotopic Legendrian tori in contact spheres. The above work is a joint project with Blakey, Sun and Woodward Valerio Assenza : On the Geometry of Magnetic Flows A magnetic system is the toy model for the motion of a charged particle moving on a Riemannian manifold endowed with a magnetic force. To a magnetic flow we associate an operator, called the magnetic curvature operator. Such an operator encodes together the geometrical properties of the Riemannanian structure together with terms of perturbation due to magnetic interaction, and it carries crucial informations of the magnetic dynamics. For instance, in this talk, we see how a level of the energy positively curved, in this new magnetic sense, carries a periodic orbit. We also generalize to the magnetic case the classical Hopf's rigity and we introduce the notion of magnetic flatness for closed surfaces
