Abstract: Mirror symmetry relates complex and symplectic manifolds which come in mirror pairs, and homological mirror symmetry is an equivalence of categories on each. In forthcoming joint work with Haniya Azam, Heather Lee, and Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu, we prove a global homological mirror symmetry result for genus 2 curves. We consider genus 2 curves as hypersurfaces of principally polarized abelian surfaces, on the complex side. In a follow-up paper, we allow the abelian variety to have arbitrary dimension, and hypersurfaces are now theta divisors. This talk will overview the results of these papers.
