Homological Mirror Symmetry (Mini-Course)

Noncommutative geometry, smoothness, and Fukaya categories
10:45am|S-101

Noncommutative geometry, as advocated by Konstevich, proposes to replace the study of (commutative) varieties by the study of their (noncommutative) dg/A-infinity categories of perfect complexes. Conveniently, these techniques can then also be...

Homological Mirror Symmetry Reading Group

Gamma class from Gauged Linear Sigma Models and B-brane transport
10:45am|Dilworth Room

I'll explain the main result on my paper with Kentaro 1308.2438 [hep-th], which recovers (and generalizes) Iritani's central charge expression, that can be found, for example, in 0903.1463[math.AG]. For this physics derivation I'll have to introduce...
