3d A & B models, mirror symmetry, and HOMFLY homology
Tudor Dimofte (University of California, Davis/ University of Edingurgh)
Abstract: I will review some what's known about topological A and B twists of 3d N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories, in particular the algebraic/categorical structures that they contain. The physical duality known as 3d mirror symmetry exchanges 3d A and B twists, and should manifest mathematically as a higher analogue of homological mirror symmetry. I will then explain how these ideas may be concretely applied to reproduce and connect several different constructions of HOMFLY-PT homology (soon to appear in work with Garner, Hilburn, Oblomkov, and Rozansky).
