A Harvard math workshop on Lagrangian Floer theory reveals how cutting-edge topology uses infinite-dimensional geometry to count intersections and unlock deep truths about space itself.

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.
