We started this blog at the summer school in Budapest in 2012, as a forum to discuss and better understand recent developments in 4-manifold topology, symplectic topology, contact topology, gauge theory, Floer theories, and related topics. We are not experts, just graduate students hoping to pool our knowledge, work out some details of theories we’ve heard about, and get ideas about what is new and interesting in our field. Questions, ideas, comments, and explanations are encouraged. Gossip and politics are not. We hope this provides a mathematical community for graduate students still figuring things out, so we can continue having conversations even when we are not together at a conference. Young mathematicians interested in contributing blog posts should contact Peter or Laura to be added as authors.
