Title: Floer theory and 3-dimensional topology
Abstract: Floer theory has drastically advanced our understanding of topology in dimension 3 and 4. In this talk we give an introduction to Morse homology and Lagrangian-Floer theory. The goal is to set the framework necessary to introduce Heegaard-Floer invariants and to describe some applications in low dimensional topology.
