Theory Briefing
- Harvard's CMSA hosts a week-long workshop on Lagrangian Floer theory, a framework counting intersections of geometric surfaces to study space's shape.
- Floer theory bridges symplectic geometry and topology, using algebraic invariants to solve problems once thought intractable in higher-dimensional spaces.
- Running September 28 to October 2, 2026, the event signals Floer theory's growing applications beyond pure math into mirror symmetry and physics.
