• Curve-counting with fixed domain (“Tevelev degrees”)

    Virtual

    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

    Virtual

    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

    Virtual

    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

    Virtual

    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

    Virtual

    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

    Virtual

    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 […]

  • Applications of Higher Determinant Map

    Virtual

    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 […]

  • Modularity of mirror families of log Calabi–Yau surfaces

    Virtual

    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

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    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 […]

  • Scattering Diagrams from Holomorphic Discs in Log Calabi-Yau Surfaces

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Sam Bardwell-Evans, Boston University Title: Scattering Diagrams from Holomorphic Discs in Log Calabi-Yau Surfaces Abstract: In this talk, we construct special Lagrangian fibrations […]
