The Gamma and SYZ conjectures

Abstract: I will give some background on the Gamma Conjecture, which says that mirror symmetry does *not* respect integral cycles: rather, the integral cycles on a complex manifold correspond to integral cycles on the symplectic mirror, multiplied by a certain transcendental characteristic class called the Gamma class. In the second part of the talk I will explain a new geometric approach to the Gamma Conjecture, which is based on the SYZ viewpoint on mirror symmetry. We find that the appearance of zeta(k) in the asymptotics of period integrals arises from the codimension-k singular locus of the SYZ fibration. This is based on joint work with Abouzaid, Ganatra, and Iritani.

Longitudinal Algebra and Geometry Open ONline Seminar (LAGOON)

Series comments: Description: Research webinar series

The LAGOON webinar series was supported as part of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) and the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) Online Mathematical Sciences Seminars and is now sponsored by the University of Cologne and the University of Pavia. Please register here to obtain the Zoom link and password for the meetings.

LAGOON will take place online every last Wednesday of the month from 14:00-15:00 (Time Zone Berlin, Rome, Paris).

Videos of the talks can be viewed here.

Video recordings of past talks until April 2022 can still be viewed on the ICMS webpage here.
