The symplectic geometry seminars are held Mondays 2:10--3:00 PM in BA 6183, unless otherwise indicated. Symplectic Lunches: We go to lunch at Sylvester's Cafe at 16 Bancroft Avenue on Mondays right before the seminars. We meet there at 12:30PM. Please join us. Informal Seminar: The seminar is often followed, at 3pm in BA 6180, by a more informal discussion. Topics of discussion can vary, possibly related to recent or upcoming seminar talks. Information about this is announced through the mailing list and during the main seminar.If you would like to join our mailing list, or if you would like to give a talk, email Johan Martens at jmartens@math.toronto.edu
