Fibration and Degeneration in Calabi-Yau Geometry Workshop
Speakers
Details
Calabi-Yau manifolds occupy a central place in geometry. Their critical role as the cut-case between basic Fano building blocks and the zoo of General Type manifolds is key to the wide variety of important applications of Calabi-Yau geometry to theoretical physics. In turn, ideas from theoretical physics, such as Mirror Symmetry, help shape investigations in Calabi-Yau geometry
This workshop focuses on a structural feature of Calabi-Yau geometry identified a decade ago by Doran, Harder, and Thompson. It is an organizing principle that conjecturally underlies any and all constructions of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Put simply, the DHT Mirror Symmetry slogan is: “Degeneration is mirror to fibration.”
