Contact convexity from Giroux to Honda-Huang

Appears in collection : Giroux 60 - Convexity in contact and symplectic topology

Contact convexity theory which was pioneered 30 years ago by Emmanuel Giroux played and continue to play an important role in contact and symplectic geometry. More recently, Ko Honda and Yang Huang discovered new surprising flexibility phenomena in the high dimensional contact convexity. In the talk I will discuss a simplified approach (joint with Dishant Pancholi) to Honda-Huang’s results.
