## Homological Mirror Symmetry for singularities of type $T_{pqr}$

We present some homological mirror symmetry statements for the singularities of type $T_{p,q,r}$. Loosely, these are one level of complexity up from so-called 'simple' singularities, of types $A$, $D$ and $E$. We will consider some symplectic invariants of the real four-dimensional Milnor fibres of these singularities, and explain how they correspond to coherent sheaves on certain blow-ups of the projective space $\mathbb P^2$, as suggested notably by Gross-Hacking-Keel.

## Subflexible symplectic manifolds

After recalling some recent developments in symplectic flexibility, I will introduce a class of open symplectic manifolds, called "subflexible", which are not flexible but become so after attaching some Weinstein handles. For example, the standard symplectic ball has a Weinstein subdomain with nontrivial symplectic topology. These are exotic symplectic manifolds with vanishing symplectic cohomology.
