SUMMARY:Deformations of Landau-Ginzburg models and their fibers
DESCRIPTION:Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar \nSpeaker: Andrew Harder\, Lehigh University \nTitle: Deformations of Landau-Ginzburg models and their fibers \nAbstract: In mirror symmetry\, the dual object to a Fano variety is a Landau-Ginzburg model. Broadly\, a Landau-Ginzburg model is quasi-projective variety Y with a superpotential function w\, but not all such pairs correspond to Fano varieties under mirror symmetry\, so a very natural question to ask is: Which Landau-Ginzburg models are mirror to Fano varieties? In this talk\, I will discuss a cohomological characterization of mirrors of (semi-)Fano varieties\, focusing on the case of threefolds. I’ll discuss how this characterization relates to the deformation and Hodge theory of (Y\,w)\, and in particular\, how the classification of (semi-)Fano threefolds is related to questions about moduli spaces of lattice polarized K3 surfaces.

SUMMARY:Impossibility results in classical dynamical systems
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matthew Foreman (UC Irvine) \nTitle: Impossibility results in classical dynamical systems \nAbstract: In 1932\, motivated by questions in statistical and celestial mechanics\, von Neumann proposed classifying the statistical behavior of dynamical systems. In the 1960’s\, motivated by work of Poincaré\, Smale proposed classifying the qualitative behavior of dynamical systems.  These questions laid the groundwork for enormous amounts of work\, but the fundamental questions remain open. This talk shows that they are impossible to answer in a rigorous sense. The talk will discuss various kinds of impossibility results and describe how they apply to von Neumann’s program and Smale’s program. \n
