Appears in collection : Not Only Scalar Curvature Seminar
Stein manifolds arise naturally in the theory of several complex variables. This talk will give an informal introduction to some of their topological and symplectic aspects such as: handlebody construction of Stein manifolds; their symplectic counterparts; Weinstein manifolds; flexibility (h-principles) versus rigidity.
