Special Year 2016-17: Homological Mirror Symmetry - Seminar

We discuss the Kadaira-Spencer gauge theory (or BCOV theory) on Calabi-Yau geometry. We explain Givental's loop space formalism at cochain level which leads to a degenerate BV theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Homotopic BV quantization together with a...

Continuing from February 28, I will attempt to explain Costello's set up of the problem of perturbative quantization of a gauge theory in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, thus allowing us to formulate the main results of Costello and Li.
