Sectorial Decompositions of Symmetric Products and Homological Mirror Symmetry

Symmetric products of Riemann surfaces play a crucial role in symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology. They are essential ingredients for defining Heegaard Floer homology and serve as important examples of Liouville manifolds when the surfaces are open. In this talk, I will discuss ongoing work on the symplectic topology of these spaces through Liouville sectorial methods, along with examples as applications of this decomposition construction to homological mirror symmetry.
