Tentative syllabus:

The course will be divided into 3 parts:

Part I - Basics of symplectic geometry

This part will closely follow the book

"Lectures on symplectic geometry" by Ana Cannas da. Silva. Available at https://people.math.ethz.ch/~acannas/Papers/lsg.pdf

We will also discuss Lefschetz fibrations (which one can read about in Section 1 of this article by Paul Seidel) and generating families (here

is an introduction, written by Sheila Sandon).

 

Part II - Basics of contact geometry

This part will follow the articles

"Contact geometry" by Hansj?rg Geiges, available at https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0307242

"Legendrian and Transversal Knots" by John B. Etnyre, available at https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0306256

"Legendrian contact homology in R^3" by John B. Etnyre and Lenhard L. Ng , available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.10966

 

Part III - Stein manifolds and exotic symplectic structures
