We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field theory, and at the same time serves as a rich source of new invariants of contact manifolds and their Legendrian submanifolds. Moreover, we hope that the applications of SFT go far beyond this framework.1

Symplectic field theory and its applications
Symplectic field theory (SFT) attempts to approach the theory of holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds (also called Gromov-Witten theory) in the spirit of a topological field theory. This…
A field theory for symplectic fibrations over surfaces
We introduce in this paper a field theory on symplectic manifolds that are fibered over a real surface with interior marked points and cylindrical ends. We assign to each such object a morphism…
Coherent orientations in symplectic field theory revisited
In symplectic field theory (SFT), the moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves can be oriented coherently (compatible with gluing). In this note, we correct the signs involved in the generating function…
Coherent orientations in symplectic field theory
Abstract.We study the coherent orientations of the moduli spaces of holomorphic curves in Symplectic Field Theory, generalizing a construction due to Floer and Hofer. In particular we examine their…
Lectures on Symplectic Field Theory
This is the preliminary manuscript of a book on symplectic field theory based on a lecture course for PhD students given in 2015-16. It covers the essentials of the analytical theory of punctured…
Homological algebra related to surfaces with boundary
In this article we describe an algebraic framework which can be used in three related but different contexts: string topology, symplectic field theory, and Lagrangian Floer theory of higher genus. It…
Note on Floer theory and integrable hierarchies
In this short note we show how Dubrovin's integrable hierarchies, defined using the Gromov-Witten theory of a closed symplectic manifold, generalizes to Hamiltonian Floer theory. In particular, we…
Lectures on symplectic and contact homology
We shall give the geometric definition of several holomorphic curve invariants for symplectic and contact manifolds, such as contact homology, symplectic homology and some of their variants. We shall…
Poisson brackets and symplectic invariants
We introduce new invariants associated with collections of compact subsets of a symplectic manifold. They are defined through an elementary-looking variational problem involving Poisson brackets. The…
Contact homology of Hamiltonian mapping tori
In the general geometric setup for symplectic field theory the contact manifolds can be replaced by mapping toriMO of symplectic manifolds (M,ω) with symplectomorphisms O. While the cylindrical…

Gromov-Witten invariants of general symplectic manifolds
We present an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants that works on arbitrary (closed) symplectic manifolds. We avoid genericity arguments and take into account singular curves in the very formulation.…

In the following we look for conditions on a finite energy plane ũ : = (a, u) : ℂ → ℝ × M, which allow us to conclude that the projection into the manifold M, u : ℂ → M, is an embedding. For this…
