I will survey the coherent-constructible correspondence of Bondal, which embeds the derived category of coherent sheaves on a toric variety into the derived category of constructible sheaves on a compact torus. The tools of the first lecture turn...

I will give an introduction to the microlocal theory of sheaves after Kashiwara and Schapira, and some of its recent applications in symplectic topology. I'll start with the basics, but target applications for the 75 minutes are Tamarkin's proof of...

I'll begin with a leisurely introduction to Fukaya A-infinity algebras and their bounding chains. Then I'll explain how to use bounding chains to define open Gromov-Witten invariants. The bounding chain invariants can be computed using an open...
