Some cute applications of Lagrangian cobordisms

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss, from a quantitative aspect, the following symplectic questions: packing Lagrangian submanifolds, displacing Lagrangian submanifolds, and constructing Lagrangian surfaces with a prescribed genus. We will illustrate some interesting features of these questions using simple examples. The focus will be put on explaining some new ideas from the point of view of Lagrangian cobordisms. This is a joint work with Jeff Hicks.
