The Micro-Internship Programme offers Oxford students the chance to gain hands-on experience by observing and supporting real projects across a wide range of sectors, from academia and heritage to law, publishing, tech, and beyond.. These short placements last up to five days, run in Weeks 9 and 10 of Hilary term, and may be in person, remote, or hybrid. Apply by 1 February.

On the conifold gap for local P2
Andrea Brini
(Sheffield)
Abstract
The `conifold gap' conjecture asserts that the polar part of the Gromov-Witten potential of a Calabi-Yau threefold near its conifold locus has a universal expression described by the logarithm of the Barnes G-function. In this talk I will describe a proof of the Conifold Gap Conjecture for the local projective plane, whereby the higher genus conifold Gromov-Witten generating series of local P2 are related to the thermodynamics of a certain statistical mechanical ensemble of repulsive particles on the positive half-line. As a corollary, this establishes the all-genus mirror principle for local P2 through the direct integration of the BCOV holomorphic anomaly equations.
