Characteristic classes in symplectic topology (with an appendix by Ludmil Katzarkov) (Q1126917)

This interesting survey on characteristic classes in symplectic topology has the following content: 0. Introduction, 1. Invariant polynomials and cohomology of the symplectomorphism groups, symplectic Chern-Weil Theory and characteristic classes of symplectic fibrations, 2. Cohomology of the symplectomorphism group made discrete: Relation to the regulators in algebraic \(K\)-theory, 3. Secondary invariants of Lagrangian submanifolds and estimates for Lagrangian volumes, 4. Futaki-type characters for the symplectomorphism groups, with applications to the structure of the Torelli group and automorphism groups of one-relator groups, 5. Digression: Evens multiplicative transfer and fixed point theory, 6. Volumes of moduli spaces and the Von Staudt Theorem for Witten's Zeta-function, 7. Canonical complex I: Symplectic Hodge Theory, and characteristic classes of symplectic actions, Appendix A: The Thom-Dold theorem and transfer for non-free actions, Appendix B: Canonical complex II: Non-commutative Poisson manifolds, Appendix C: The Fourier-Donaldson transform in group cohomology and geometric structures of representation varieties with application to three-manifolds, List of open problems, Appendix D: (L. Katzarkov), Fixed point sets on the moduli space of parabolic bundles.
