| Aug 31, 2016 at 1:20 | comment | added | Daniel Pomerleano | One can take a slightly broader view of what SFT is, giving rise to different algebraic structure. For example for a fixed completed Liouville domain, you can define a version of symplectic cohomology (but with holomorphic curves instead of Floer solutions) as a non-equivariant version of linearized contact homology. This has many of the same algebraic/TQFT structures as those defined using Gromov-Witten invariants (pair of pants product, homotopy S^1 action etc...). In the equivariant setting, you have arxiv.org/pdf/0706.3284.pdf and homotopy refinements by the same authors + Fukaya. | |
