Exact Lagrangian Fillings of Legendrian links and Weinstein 4-manifolds
… collaboration which studies the complement of smoothings of toric divisors in toric $4$-manifolds. We show that for certain smoothings, these complements have a particular Weinstein structure, and we provide an algorithm to construct the Weinstein handlebody diagram of such complements.</p>

Tightening curves and graphs on surfaces
Any continuous deformation of closed curves on a surface can be decomposed into a finite sequence of local changes on the structure of the curves; we refer to such local operations as homotopy moves. Tightening is the process of deforming given curves into their minimum position; that is, those …
