Floer cohomology of Lagrangian spheres in symplectic manifolds

Jean-Yves Welschinger
(Lyons)
Abstract

I will associate, to every pair of smooth transversal

Lagrangian spheres in a symplectic manifold having vanishing first Chern

class, its Floer cohomology groups. Hamiltonian isotopic spheres give

rise to isomorphic groups. In order to define these Floer cohomology

groups, I will make a key use of symplectic field theory.
