Reading Group on Mirror Symmetry by Examples

Mirror symmetry for a toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold
4:00pm

I will describe the non-homological (i.e. enumerative) aspect of mirror symmetry for a particular toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold, the total space of the canonical bundle over $\mathbb P^2$. In this case, there is a simpler B-model on its mirror curve which...

Reading Group on Quantization of BCOV and the Higher-Genus B-Model

Computing a categorical Gromov-Witten invariant
Andrei Căldăraru
1:00pm

In his 2005 paper "The Gromov-Witten potential associated to a TCFT" Kevin Costello described a procedure for recovering an analogue of the Gromov-Witten potential directly out of a cyclic A-inifinity algebra or category. Applying his construction...

Reading Group on Quantization of BCOV and the Higher-Genus B-Model

Givental's quantization of semi-simple Frobenius manifolds
4:00pm

Givental's quantization formula describes higher genus invariants from genus zero data, the Frobenius manifold. I will describe this quantization and state Teleman's result that this quantization actually describes all semisimple cohomological field...
