Tropical affine manifolds in mirror symmetry and Berkovich geometry
Enrica Mazzon (MPI Bonn)
Abstract: Mirror symmetry is a fast-moving research area at the boundary between mathematics and theoretical physics. Originated from observations in string theory, it suggests that certain geometrical objects (complex Calabi-Yau manifolds) should come in pairs, in the sense that each of them has a mirror partner and the two share interesting geometrical properties.
In this talk, I will introduce some notions relating mirror symmetry to tropical geometry, inspired by the work of Kontsevich-Soibelman and Gross-Siebert. In particular, I will focus on the construction of a so-called “tropical affine manifold” using methods of non-archimedean geometry, and the guiding example will be the case of K3 surfaces and some hyper-Kähler varieties. This is based on a joint work with Morgan Brown and a work in progress with Léonard Pille-Schneider.
