Contact 3-Manifolds And Gauge-Theoretic Invariants
A contact structure on a 3-manifold is a 2-plane field satisfying a non-degeneracy condition. We'll discuss important features of contact structures and explain why they are interesting, how gauge-theoretic invariants help understand contact 3-manifolds, and how contact structures combined with gauge theory lead to important results in low-dimensional topology.
