DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Katrin Wehrheim (UC Berkeley/MPIM)\n\nMPIM Topology 
 Seminar\nThe answer that I will propose is a higher categorical structure 
 in symplectic geometry that includes all Fukaya categories and geometric f
 unctors between them. Its highly involved algebraic and analytic details a
 re the topic of joint work with Nate Bottman. However\, its basic structur
 e can be understood as a natural -- yet not previously studied -- extensio
 n of the category of topological spaces and continuous maps. So the goal o
 f this talk is to make broadly accessible the two underlying ideas: The no
 tion of quilts (collections of maps related by ``seam conditions'') and th
 e string diagram approach to constructing and making sense of 2-categories
