Mirror Symmetry and Lagrangian torus fibrations
Jeff Hicks (Edinburgh)
Abstract: Mirror symmetry is a predicted equivalence between certain aspects of algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry. The Strominger–Yau–Zaslow conjecture proposes that this equivalence appears on pairs of algebraic and symplectic spaces which have dual torus fibrations. In this pretalk, we look at a first example: the complex torus which is fibered by real tori, and the cotangent bundle of the real torus. We'll see how both geometries can be related to affine geometry on real n-dimensional space.
