Various

The workshop will focus on recent developments in low-dimensional topology, with a particular emphasis on modern homological invariants such as Heegaard Floer homology. The workshop is open to anyone; if you wish to register and be included in the mailing list for workshop related updates, please see the conference website at: https://web.math.princeton.edu/~sucharit/TopologyWorkshop15Monday, June 15
