The goal of these notes is to give a short introduction to Fukaya categories and some of their applications. The first half of the text is devoted to a brief review of Lagrangian Floer (co)homology and product structures. Then we introduce the Fukaya category (informally and without a lot of the necessary technical detail), and briefly discuss algebraic concepts such as exact triangles and generators. Finally, we mention wrapped Fukaya categories and outline a few applications to symplectic…
A Quick View of Lagrangian Floer Homology
In this note we present a brief introduction to Lagrangian Floer homology and its relation to the solution to the Arnol’d Conjecture, on the minimal number of non-degenerate fixed points of a
Generalizations of Hodge-de-Rham degeneration for Fukaya categories
Above, δ denotes the Connes operator, reviewed in Section 2.2.1, and ch is the noncommutative Chern character, reviewed in Section 3.2.2. Symplectic geometry is a source of particularly interesting
The Fukaya category of the pillowcase, traceless character varieties, and Khovanov Cohomology
• Mathematics

For a diagram of a 2-stranded tangle in the 3-ball we define a twisted complex of compact Lagrangians in the triangulated envelope of the Fukaya category of the smooth locus of the pillowcase. We

We define an elementary relatively $\mathbb Z/4$ graded Lagrangian-Floer chain complex for restricted immersions of compact 1-manifolds into the pillowcase, and apply it to the intersection diagram
FLOER COHOMOLOGY AND FUKAYA CATEGORY

This paper aims to give an introduction to Floer Theory and relevant topics such as Arnold’s conjecture and Fukaya categories. We mostly follow the survey [1]. More details on the proofs and examples
INTRODUCTION TO HOMOLOGICAL INVARIANTS IN LOW-DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGY
There is a common main idea in various constructions of low-dimensional topological invariants. One takes a topological object, associates a geometric construction to it, which involves some choices,
On the Fukaya category of a Fano hypersurface in projective space
This paper is about the Fukaya category of a Fano hypersurface X⊂CPn$X \subset \mathbf {CP}^{n}$. Because these symplectic manifolds are monotone, both the analysis and the algebra involved in the

Let’s look at these composition maps (up to signs): If d = 1, then we have that μ(μ(a1)) = 0. In fact, we will form the cohomological category of A, where μ1 will be the differential. If d = 2, we

We did not cover the analytical foundations (transversality, Gromov compactness, gluing) of Floer theory in the lecture. Here are some helpful references for learning this material: [MS04], [Sal99],

We prove that adjoint orbits of semisimple Lie algebras have the structure of symplectic Lefschetz fibrations. We then describe the topology of the regular and singular fibres, in particular

Fukaya categories and deformations
This is an informal (and mostly conjectural) discussion of some aspects of Fukaya categories. We start by looking at exact symplectic manifolds which are obtained from a closed Calabi-Yau by removing
A geometric criterion for generating the Fukaya category
Given a collection of exact Lagrangians in a Liouville manifold, we construct a map from the Hochschild homology of the Fukaya category that they generate to symplectic cohomology. Whenever the

We describe various approaches to understanding Fukaya categories of cotangent bundles. All of the approaches rely on introducing a suitable class of noncompact Lagrangian submanifolds. We review the

The main goal of this paper is to discuss a symplectic interpretation of Lipshitz, Ozsvath and Thurston's bordered Heegaard-Floer homology in terms of Fukaya categories of symmetric products and

The Fukaya category of a Weinstein manifold is an intricate symplectic inva- riant of high interest in mirror symmetry and geometric representation theory. This paper informally sketches how, in
A topological model for the Fukaya categories of plumbings
We prove that the algebra of singular cochains on a smooth manifold, equipped with the cup product, is equivalent to the A-infinity structure on the Lagrangian Floer cochain group associated to the
Fukaya categories and bordered Heegaard-Floer homology
We outline an interpretation of Heegaard-Floer homology of 3-manifolds (closed or with boundary) in terms of the symplectic topology of symmetric products of Riemann surfaces, as suggested by recent

Given an exact relatively Pin Lagrangian embedding Q in a symplectic manifold M, we construct an A-infinity restriction functor from the wrapped Fukaya category of M to the category of modules on the

Consider the Fukaya category associated to a Lefschetz fibration. It turns out that the Floer cohomology of the monodromy around ∞ gives rise to natural transformations from the Serre functor to the

In this preprint, we look at exact Lagrangian submanifolds with Legendrian boundary inside a Liouville domain. The analogue of symplectic cohomology for such submanifolds is called “wrapped Floer
