We will read research papers related to skein lasagna modules, starting with Manolescu-Neithalath's paper on 4-dimensional 2-handlebodies:
[MN]
If we have enough time, we might also look at Floer lasagna modules, and skein lasagna modules with 1-dimensional inputs.
We will plan to more or less work through the paper linearly.
