Description
This workshop brings together researchers in contact and symplectic geometry, cluster algebras, and skein theory. It aims to foster collaboration and cross-pollination between these fields, with a focus on the connections between Legendrian knots, Lagrangian fillings, cluster algebras, Floer theory, microlocal sheaf theory, and skein theory. The event encourages the exchange of new ideas and methods at the intersection of geometry, topology, and algebra, and will include a poster session for participants.
