In generality\, an h-principle is a method for constructing global solutions to underdetermi ned PDEs on manifolds by systematically localizing boundary conditions. In symplectic and contact geometry\, these strategies typically are well sui ted for general constructions and partial classifications. Some of the res ults we discuss are the characterization of smooth manifolds admitting con tact structures\, high dimensional overtwistedness\, the symplectic classi fication of flexibile Stein manifolds\, and the construction of exotic Lag rangians in C^n.\n DTSTART:20190322T200000Z DTEND:20190322T210000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy\, 201 Ave. Preside nt-Kennedy SUMMARY:Emmy Murphy\, Northwestern University URL:/mathstat/channels/event/emmy-murphy-northwestern- university-295521 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
