Mathematicians work across an ever-expanding range of disciplines, from the physical and medical sciences to economics and the social sciences. These three short films display that diversity.
The Mathematical Institute is pleased to announce the launch of its new website. The new website has been reworked from the ground up to be modern, flexible, engaging and inviting to current and future mathematicians and friends. A collaboration with William Joseph produced an initial design which was then developed and implemented in-house and, being based on modern technologies, is compatible with mobile devices.

Mirror symmetry for varieties of general type
Mark Gross
(Cambridge)
Abstract
I will discuss joint work with Ludmil Katzarkov and Helge Ruddat. Given a hypersurface X in a toric variety of positive Kodaira dimension, (with a certain number of hypotheses) we construct an object which we believe can be viewed as the mirror of X. In particular, it exhibits the usual interchange of Hodge numbers expected in mirror symmetry. This may seem puzzling at first. For example, a curve of genus g would be expected to have a mirror such that h^{0,0}=g, which is not possible for a variety. However, our mirror is a singular scheme Y along with a perverse sheaf F, whose cohomology carries a mixed Hodge structure. It then makes sense to compute Hodge numbers for F, and we find the traditional exchange of Hodge numbers.
