Subcritical manifolds and algebraic structures

In the morning we will go through the computation of symplectic cohomology for affine space. Using Cieliebak's result that subcritical Weinstein manifolds split, we'll obtain a computation for this class of manifolds.

The easiest way to do this is to follow the second approach, and compute the Conley-Zehnder index of the unique time-1 Hamiltonian orbit of the function t\|r\|^2 when t is not a multiple of 2pi.

   Introduce the notion of a Weinstein manifold, and that of a subcritical Weinstein manifold. Explain Cieliebak's splitting result for subcritical manifolds (see Theorem 14.16 of \[Cieliebak-Eliashberg\]).

In the afternoon, we will discuss algebraic structures on symplectic cohomology.

1. Discuss the construction of operations on symplectic cohomology coming from moduli spaces of Riemann surface. Make sure to include a discussion of the BV operator. The construction of these operations is outlined in Section (8a) of [Seidel], which [Ritter] elaborates upon.
2. Define the product on symplectic cohomology by counting pairs of pants. Explain the proof of associativity, and the construction of the unit.
