Framing Duality

Abstract: I will describe joint work in progress with Linhui Shen and Gus Schrader, in which we study moduli spaces of Fukaya objects and conjecture about their relationship to BPS and open Gromov-Witten invariants. This unabashedly synthesize previous works of many other groups, whom I will credit in the talk. I will try to highlight some new aspects: 1) a definition of phases and framings and their combinatorial origins; 2) conjectures on open Gromov-Witten invariants for Lagrangians bounding certain Legendrian surfaces; 3) a “framing duality” relating Dondaldson-Thomas and open Gromov-Witten invariants.

Western Hemisphere colloquium on geometry and physics

Series comments: Description: Biweekly colloquium of geometers and physicists

This weekly online colloquium features geometers and physicists presenting current research on a wide range of topics in the interface of the two fields. The talks are aimed at a broad audience. They will take place via Zoom on alternate Mondays at 3pm Eastern, noon Pacific, 4pm BRT. Each session features a 60 minute talk, followed by 15 minutes for questions and discussion. You may join the meeting 15 minutes in advance. Questions and comments may be submitted to the moderator via the chat interface during the talk, or presented in person during the Q&A session. These colloquia will be recorded and will be available (linked from the website) asap after the event.
