Lecture Notes on Embedded Contact Homologyby Michael Hutchings - arXiv
These notes give an introduction to embedded contact homology (ECH) of contact three-manifolds, gathering many basic notions which are scattered across a number of papers. We also discuss the origins of ECH, including various remarks and examples.
