Homological Mirror Symmetry Reading Group

A proof of Gamma conjecture in some cases via mirror symmetry
Hiroshi Iritani
10:45am|West Building Lecture Hall

I will discuss Gamma conjecture and its proof in some examples (such as complete intersections in toric varieties) using mirror symmetry. Specifically, I will talk about the B-model $D$-module associated with a LG model, Dubrovin conjecture, and...

Riemann-Hilbert correspondence revisited
10:45am|West Building Lecture Hall

Conventional Riemann-Hilbert correspondence relates the category of holonomic $D$-modules (de Rham side) with the category of constructible sheaves (Betti side). I am going to reconsider this relationship from the point of view of deformation...

Homological Mirror Symmetry (Mini-Course)

Logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants
10:45am|S-101

Following Katz-Nishinou, we will compute the number of lines on a quintic threefold in $\mathbb P^4$ by degenerating the quintic to the union of coordinate hyperplanes. This motivates degeneration formulae in Gromov-Witten theory that I will give...

Homological Mirror Symmetry (Mini-Course)

Logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants
10:45am|S-101

Logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants generalize usual and relative Gromov-Witten invariants and were first suggested by Siebert and then recently introduced by Gross-Siebert and Abramovich-Chen. Applications include more general degeneration...
