Originating Calendar: Groups, Geometry, and Topology Calendar; Abstract: I’ll describe a non-trivial endofunctor on the Fukaya A_infty category of the SU(2) character variety of
a Conway sphere (S^2,4) induced by a cobordism obtained by adding a marking to the product (S^2,4) x I. (You don’t need to know what any of these words mean, I intend the talk to be elementary.)
