The role of string topology in symplectic field theory

arXiv:0706.3284

Abstract

We outline a program for incorporating holomorphic curves with Lagrangian boundary conditions into symplectic field theory, with an emphasis on ideas, geometric intuition, and a description of the resulting algebraic structures.

40 pages, 19 figures, last section changed into a joint appendix with K. Mohnke
