Curve-counting with fixed domain (“Tevelev degrees”)
Abstract: We will consider the following problem: if (C,x_1,…,x_n) is a fixed general pointed curve, and X is a fixed target variety with general points y_1,…,y_n, then how many maps f:C -> […]
SYZ Conjecture beyond Mirror Symmetry
Abstract: Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture is one of the guiding principles in mirror symmetry, which not only predicts the geometric structures of Calabi-Yau manifolds but also provides a recipe for mirror construction. Besides mirror […]
Virtual Coulomb branch and quantum K-theory
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a virtual variant of the quantized Coulomb branch constructed by Braverman-Finkelberg-Nakajima, where the convolution product is modified by a virtual intersection. The resulting virtual […]
Higgs-Coulomb correspondence in abelian GLSM
Abstract: We construct a certain type of Gauged Linear Sigma Model quasimap invariants that generalize the original ones and are easier to compute. Higgs-Coulomb correspondence provides identification of generating functions of […]
Virtual localization for Artin stacks
Abstract: This is a report about work in progress with: Adeel Khan, Aloysha Latyntsev, Hyeonjun Park and Charanya Ravi. We will describe a virtual Atiyah-Bott formula for Artin stacks. In the Deligne-Mumford […]
2-categorical 3d mirror symmetry
Abstract: It is by now well-known that mirror symmetry may be expressed as an equivalence between categories associated to dual Kahler manifolds. Following a proposal of Teleman, we inaugurate a program […]
Regularized integrals on Riemann surfaces and correlations functions in 2d chiral CFTs
Abstract: I will report a recent approach of regularizing divergent integrals on configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces, introduced by Si Li and myself in arXiv:2008.07503, with an emphasis on genus […]
Applications of Higher Determinant Map
Abstract: In this talk I will explain the construction of a determinant map for Tate objects and two applications: (i) to construct central extensions of iterated loop groups and (ii) to […]
Equivariant Verlinde algebra and quantum K-theory of the moduli space of vortices
Abstract: In studying complex Chern-Simons theory on a Seifert manifold, Gukov-Pei proposed an equivariant Verlinde formula, a one-parameter deformation of the celebrated Verlinde formula. It computes, among many things, the graded dimension of the space […]
Modularity of mirror families of log Calabi–Yau surfaces
Abstract: In “Mirror symmetry for log Calabi–Yau surfaces I,” given a smooth log Calabi–Yau surface pair (Y,D), Gross–Hacking–Keel constructed its mirror family as the spectrum of an explicit algebra whose […]
GLSM, Homological projective duality and nc resolutions
Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Mauricio Romo, Tsinghua University Title: GLSM, Homological projective duality and nc resolutions Abstract: Kuznetsov's Homological projective duality (HPD) in algebraic geometry is a powerful theorem that allows to extract information about semiorthogonal decompositions of […]
