News: SQuaREs Grant
Our research group from the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) workshop on Legendrian and Transverse Knots in September 2008 has been awarded a SQuaREs grant. The grant will allow the eight of us to reconvene at AIM to continue our collaboration.
My research concerns distinguishing Legendrian links and surfaces using invariants derived from generating families and the Chekanov-Eliashberg Differential Graded Algebra. The very long story can be found in my Research Statement (.pdf).
Papers:"Connections between Floer-type invariants and Morse-type invariants of Legendrian knots," 2009, (submitted), arXiv:0911.1735, 57 pages, 37 figures.
