Tara Suzanne Holm is a mathematician at Cornell University specializing in algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry. [1]
Holm graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth College. [2] Holm received her Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002 under the supervision of Victor Guillemin. [3] She went on to a three-year postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley, before eventually joining the faculty at Cornell.
In 2012, Holm became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [4]
In 2013, Holm was awarded a Simons Fellowship. [5]
In 2019, Holm was awarded the Sze/Hernandez Teaching prize at Cornell. [6]
In 2019, Holm was the AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer at MAA MathFest. [7]
From 2011-2013, Holm was an American Mathematical Society Council member at large. [8]
Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry. He is currently a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, and a Professor in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London.
In mathematics, Floer homology is a tool for studying symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology. Floer homology is a novel invariant that arises as an infinite-dimensional analogue of finite-dimensional Morse homology. Andreas Floer introduced the first version of Floer homology, now called Lagrangian Floer homology, in his proof of the Arnold conjecture in symplectic geometry. Floer also developed a closely related theory for Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold. A third construction, also due to Floer, associates homology groups to closed three-dimensional manifolds using the Yang–Mills functional. These constructions and their descendants play a fundamental role in current investigations into the topology of symplectic and contact manifolds as well as (smooth) three- and four-dimensional manifolds.

Alexander Givental is a Russian-American mathematician who is currently Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. His main contributions have been in symplectic topology and singularity theory, as well as their relation to topological string theories.
The Etta Z. Falconer Lecture is an award and lecture series which honors "women who have made distinguished contributions to the mathematical sciences or mathematics education". It is sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America. The lectures began in 1996 and were named after the mathematician Etta Z. Falconer in 2004 "in memory of Falconer's profound vision and accomplishments in enhancing the movement of minorities and women into scientific careers". The recipient presents the lecture at MathFest each summer.

In differential geometry, the Kirwan map, introduced by British mathematician Frances Kirwan, is the homomorphism
This is a glossary of properties and concepts in symplectic geometry in mathematics. The terms listed here cover the occurrences of symplectic geometry both in topology as well as in algebraic geometry. The glossary also includes notions from Hamiltonian geometry, Poisson geometry and geometric quantization.
