Cracked Polytopes and Fano Manifolds

Thomas Prince
(Oxford)
Abstract

Combining work of Galkin, Christopherson-Ilten, and Coates-Corti-Galkin-Golyshev-Kasprzyk we see that all smooth Fano threefolds admit a toric degeneration. We can use this fact to uniformly construct all Fano threefolds: given a choice of a fan we classify reflexive polytopes which break into unimodular pieces along this fan. We can then construct closed torus invariant embeddings of the corresponding toric variety using a technique - Laurent inversion - developed with Coates and Kaspzryk. The corresponding binomial ideal is controlled by the chosen fan, and in low enough codimension we can explicitly test deformations of this toric ideal. We relate the constructions we obtain to known constructions. We study the simplest case of the above construction, closely related to work of Abouzaid-Auroux-Katzarkov, in arbitrary dimension and use it to produce a tropical interpretation of the mirror superpotential via broken lines. We expect the computation to be the tropical analogue of a Floer theory calculation.

Microlocal Sheaves on Pinwheels

Dogancan Karabaş
(Kings College London)
Abstract

It is shown by Kashiwara and Schapira (1980s) that for every constructible sheaf on a smooth manifold, one can construct a closed conic Lagrangian subset of its cotangent bundle, called the microsupport of the sheaf. This eventually led to the equivalence of the category of constructible sheaves on a manifold and the Fukaya category of its cotangent bundle by the work of Nadler and Zaslow (2006), and Ganatra, Pardon, and Shende (2018) for partially wrapped Fukaya categories. One can try to generalise this and conjecture that Fukaya category of a Weinstein manifold can be given by constructible (microlocal) sheaves associated to its skeleton. In this talk, I will explain these concepts and confirm the conjecture for a family of Weinstein manifolds which are certain quotients of A_n-Milnor fibres. I will outline the computation of their wrapped Fukaya categories and microlocal sheaves on their skeleta, called pinwheels.

If you type fundamental anagram of calculus into Google you will be led eventually to the string of symbols 6accdæ13eff7i3l9n4o4qrr4s8t12ux, probably accompanied by an explanation more or less as follows: this is a recipe for an anagram - take six copies of a, two of c, one of d, one of æ and so on, then rearrange these letters into a chunk of Latin.
