Hansol Hong, Harvard Title: Homological Mirror Functors Abstract: I will first give a brief introduction to mirror symmetry, which intertwines symplectic geometry and complex geometry of a pair of Kahler manifolds, and explain mirror construction using formal deformation of a Lagrangian submanifold. We will see that counting of holomorphic discs bounding Lagrangian naturally gives rise to a mirror space (Landau-Ginzburg […]

Speaker: Masahito Yamazaki (IMPU) Title: Geometry of 3-manifolds and Complex Chern-Simons Theory Abstract: The geometry of 3-manifolds has been a fascinating subject in mathematics. In this talk I discuss a "quantization" of 3-manifold geometry, in the language of complex Chern-Simons theory. This Chern-Simons theory in turn is related to the physics of 3-dimensional supersymmetric field theories through the so-called 3d/3d correspondence, whose […]
