Description

Abstract
Motivated by geometric quantisation, Alan Weinstein famously proposed using Lagrangian correspondences as morphisms in a symplectic category. Analytic difficulties plague this idea in the smooth setting, but a holomorphic version of Weinstein's symplectic category overcomes such difficulties. The evaluation space for the moduli stack of holomorphic curves in a log Calabi--Yau 3-fold has a natural holomorphic symplectic structure constructed from the 3-fold's holomorphic volume form. Moreover, the image of the moduli stack of holomorphic curves is a holomorphic Lagrangian, and the pushforward of the virtual fundamental is a holomorphic Lagrangian cycle. 

This will be a relatively gentle talk, introducing and motivating the holomorphic Weinstein category.
