Ivan Smith (Cambridge), “Plumbings and flops”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


ABSTRACT: I will explain a toy and ad hoc instance of mirror symmetry which relates compact Fukaya categories of certain simple plumbings of 3-spheres to derived categories arising from pairs of floppable curves in 3-folds. The appropriate big picture is largely absent. This talk reports on joint work in regress with Jonny Evans and Michael Wemyss.
