Title: Bordism valued GW invariants
Abstract: The geometric input of Gromov-Witten theory are moduli spaces of (pseudo)-holomorphic curves with target a (closed) symplectic manifold. It has long been known that these are not in general manifolds, because of the presence of symmetries, and that they are not in general orbifolds either, since symmetries can obstruct transversality. One model for the structure they carry is that of derived orbifolds. This motivates the study of the bordism groups of stably complex derived orbifolds as a universal receptacle for Gromov-Witten invariants in symplectic topology. I will describe joint work with Shaoyun Bai, which uses the functoriality of the resolution of singularities algorithm for complex algebraic varieties, together with refinements of Fukaya and Ono's old idea of normally complex perturbations, to split the inclusion of the bordism group of stably complex manifolds (unitary bordism) into this mysterious group, and thus proving the existence of well-defined GW invariants valued in complex cobordism groups.

Title: Mirror symmetry for affine cusp singularities
Abstract: In this talk we will consider the Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds given by affine cusp singularities with the non-maximal symmetry groups. We will build the Dubrovin-Frobenius manifold associated to such a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold and prove the mirror symmetry isomorphism to the Gromov-Witten theory of the Geigle-Lenzing lines.

Title: Mirror symmetry for minuscule varieties
Abstract: We will discuss the minuscule varieties, the orbits of highest vectors in minuscule representations of complex reductive Lie groups. Then we will describe the minuscule descent, a procedure of transfer from minuscule variety to a minuscule variety for another reductive group, which has many appearance in mathematics and physics. Then we describe toric degenerations and mirror symmetry for minuscule varieties. This is a joint work with S. Galkin.

Title: Mirrors of invertible curve singularities via Floer theory
Abstract: Berglund-Hübsch mirror symmetry is a duality between two invertible polynomials and their symmetry groups. Given an invertible curve singularity, we explain how to construct its mirror transpose polynomial intrinsically via Floer theory. This enables us to define a canonical functor that takes curves in the Milnor fiber of one singularity to the matrix factorizations of its mirror polynomial. This is a joint work with Choa and Jeong.

Title: Derived symmetries for crepant resolutions of hypersurfaces
Abstract: Given a singularity with a crepant resolution, a symmetry of the derived category of coherent sheaves on the resolution may often be constructed using the formalism of spherical functors. I will introduce this, and new work (arXiv:2409.19555) on general constructions of such symmetries for hypersurface singularities. This builds on previous results with Segal, and is inspired by work of Bodzenta-Bondal.

Title: On the non-existence of tilting objects and noncommutative resolutions
Abstract: During this talk we discuss the existence of tilting objects and noncommutative resolutions for various singularities.
The first half of the talk will discuss the topological obstruction theorem for tilting objects, which is the main theorem of this talk.
As applications of the main theorem, the second half will provide examples including
(1) threefold crepant resolutions that admit no tilting object, and
(2) higher dimensional flops in which the DK conjecture holds but tilting objects do no exist This is all joint work with Michael Wemyss.

Title: xy swap duality in topological recursion
Abstract: The topological recursion or the Chekhov-Eunard-Orantin recursion is an inductive procedure allowing one to solve in a uniform way many enumerative problems. The initial data of recursion involves two meromorphic functions on a Riemann surface denoted usually by x and y. The xy swap relations relate solutions of two topological recursions with the roles of the x and y functions swapped. The very existence of such relations implies numerous applications clarifying the nature of topological recursion, in particular:
- it leads to explicit closed formulas for the resulting differentials of the recursion in many cases that avoid the inductive procedure
- it allows one to extend the recursion to the case of degenerate pairs of x and y functions and to analyze the dependence of the resulting differentials on x and y functions
- it explains KP integrablilty property observed in many enumerative problems
The talk is based on a series joined papers with A.Alexandrov, B.Bychkov, P.Dunin-Barkowsky, S.Shadrin.

Title: Universal Equations for Gromov-Witten Invariants
Abstract: Relations among tautological classes on moduli spaces of stable curves have important applications in cohomological field theory. For example, relations among psi-classes and boundary classes give universal equations for generating functions of Gromov-Witten invariants of all compact symplectic manifolds. In this talk, I will talk about such relations and their applications to Gromov-Witten theory and integrable systems.

Title: Seiberg-like duality for resolutions of determinantal varieties
Abstract: There are two natural resolutions of the determinantal variety, known as the PAX model, and the PAXY model, resp. In this talk, I will discuss how we can realize each model as lying in a quiver bundle, I will describe how the two quivers are related by mutation, and finally give a relationship between the Gromov-Witten theory of the two resolutions via a specific cluster change of variables. This is joint work with Mark Shoemaker and Yaoxiong Wen.

Title: Exceptional collections, rationality, and fibers of Landau-Ginzburg models
Abstract: We discuss a relation of exceptional collections in derived categories of smooth Fano varieties and singularities of their Landau–Ginzburg models. We also relate rationality of Fano varieties and a monodromy of their Landau–Ginzburg models. The main example for the talk will be Picard rank one smooth Fano threefolds.

Title: Geometry from Categorical Enumerative Invariants
Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the problem of extracting geometric structures on moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau 3-folds from the B-model categorical enumerative invariants. Roughly speaking, we shall see that the genus zero part is essentially the underlying variation of Hodge structures; the genus one part may be packaged as a holomorphic connection on the canonical bundle of the Calabi-Yau moduli space; while the higher genus part yields a D-module structure. Such structures were previously proposed by Costello, Kontsevich-Soibelman, both inspired by Witten’s interpretation of the holomorphic anomaly equation.

Title: On the Fukaya categories of projective hypersurfaces of general type
Abstract: We discuss the relation between Fukaya categories of affine and projective hypersurfaces from two points of view. One is that of deformations, and the other is that of functors defined by Lagrangian correspondences. Homological mirror symmetry for projective hypersurfaces whose degree is sufficiently large follows as a corollary.

Title: Quasimap wall-crossing, generalizations and applications
Abstract: Gromov-Witten theory counts curves in a smooth projective manifold via intersection theory on the moduli of stable maps. The theory of quasimaps provide a family of alternative compactifications of the mapping space, depending on a stability parameter epsilon. The space of stability conditions is divided into chambers and the invariants are related by wall-crossing formulas. In this talk I will discuss quasimap wall-crossing via master space technique, and then I will talk about some generalizations and applications.
