Introduction to Symplectic Field Theoryby Y. Eliashberg, A. Givental, H. Hofer - arXiv
We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field theory.
