Math-Physics Joint Seminar

Saturday, November 7, 2015 - 9:00am

Location

University of Pennsylvania

DRL A8

The inaugural conference of the Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry will take place at the University of Pennsylvania on November 5-8, 2015. This event is supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation.

We are planning to have a few lecture series as well as some stand-alone talks, with the goal of highlighting prospects for important developments in the study of homological mirror symmetry. We are planning for about 50 participants.

The program will include lecture series on the following topics:

Categorical geometry (M. Kontsevich) The SYZ program (S.-T. Yau, S.-C. Lau) Family Floer theory (M. Abouzaid, K. Fukaya) From HMS to enumerative mirror symmetry (S. Ganatra, T. Perutz, N. Sheridan) Tropical instanton corrections and log geometry (B. Siebert) BCOV quantization (K. Costello)
