Date and hour: Fridays, 9:15 - 10:45 (Montreal/Princeton
hour).
Regular research talks are of 60 minutes; 30 minutes are
reserved for discussion at the end of each talk (see VARIA
below).
It is intended that talks be accessible to a global community in
symplectic geometry/topology and beyond (thus, they should
contain an introduction of interest to a broad
audience).
The Zoominar promotes an atmosphere
of collegiality, equity and respect and is committed to creating
a welcoming and inclusive environment for all
participants, enabling them to fully focus on mathematics.
Once a month we intend to have a seminar consisting of three 20
min talks (followed each by 10 min of discussion time) reserved
to young researchers/recent PhD's. In case you want to talk or
to nominate someone, see VARIA 4 below.
At the bottom of the page will be
announced graduate zoom/distance courses in Symplectic Topology.
In case you want to announce such a course see below.
The Zoominar will take a break starting July 25 and
will restart on September 4.

Varia:
1. Please do not hesitate to ask questions: first indicate
your intention (or even the question) by chat, then, when invited
by the host/organizer, use your microphone and video (if
available).
3. There will be 30 min at the
end of each talk reserved for discussion. The first 15
minutes (roughly) are, mainly, for questions addressed to
the speaker. After that, questions and answers may involve
different participants.
3. We post links to the slides
of the talks as well as links to recordings of the talks
(thanks to the IAS who are recording).
4. Starting with June 5, 2020, we intend to have once
a month a seminar consisting of three 20min talks (followed
each by 10min of discussion time) given by young researchers/recent
PhD's. Suggestions, nominations, and volunteers (including a
title and short abstract) should be sent to Egor Shelukhin ategorshel@gmail.com
(with cc tooctav.cornea@gmail.com
).
Zoominar Organizers: Octav Cornea (Montreal), Egor Shelukhin
(Montreal), Dan Cristofaro-Gardiner (IAS), Daniel Álvarez-Gavela
(Princeton), Helmut Hofer (IAS), Yaron Ostrover (IAS), Zhengyi Zhou
(IAS), Leonid Polterovich (Tel Aviv), Claude Viterbo (Paris)
Graduate Courses:
Will be posted below graduate courses (through zoom or other
``at distance'' systems) in symplectic topology. In case you want to
post such an announcement please send it to octav.cornea@gmail.com.

course takes place, starting date, weekly schedule, and a link
to a more complete description of the course that also contains
the zoom link.
