The Symplectic Geometry Of Connections
This talk will explore the questions "Why might symplectic geometry reproduce gauge theoretic invariants for 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds, and why might one care?"
All symplectic notions will be introduced -- at the infinite/finite dimensional examples of connections on trivial bundles and (holonomy)-representations of fundamental groups.
For background, citations, and speculations see https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04908.
