Symplectic four-manifolds and conformal blocks
Ivan Smith
We apply ideas from conformal field theory to study symplectic four-manifolds, by using modular functors to "linearise" Lefschetz fibrations. In Chern-Simons theory this leads to t…

Symplectic surgeries from singularities
I. Smith, R. P. Thomas
We describe a variety of symplectic surgeries (not a priori compatible with Kahler structures) which are obtained by combining local Kahler degenerations and resolutions of singula…
