Mini-Workshop: Topology of closed one-forms and Cohomology Jumping Loci

Abstract

The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers from the two different fields mentioned in the title, and to create more interaction and connections between these fields. Among the topics which appear in both subjects are Lusternik-Schnirelmann category, Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants and a spectral sequence introduced by Farber and Novikov.
