Special Lagrangian submanifolds from tropical-like data

Abstract: Special Lagrangian submanifolds are volume-minimizing Lagrangians in Calabi-Yau manifolds. Their existence not only provides a rich source of higher-codimensional minimal submanifolds, but also plays a central role in the SYZ picture of mirror symmetry. However, existence results remain scarce, especially in the compact case. In this talk, I will present two gluing constructions: (1) special Lagrangians in K3-fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds, and (2) special Lagrangians in the simplest SYZ fibration, $T^*T^n$. In both cases, the starting point is a tropical-like graph in the base of the fibration, which guides the gluing of local models. Based on joint works with Yang Li and Yu-Shen Lin.
