An introduction to link homology
In this talk we'll review approaches to link homology theories that categorify
quantum link invariants.
Dmitry Tonkonog (UC Berkeley)
Disk potentials and mirror symmetryIt is well known that the mirror of a Fano manifold is a Landau-Ginzburg model; the SYZ approach constructs it by appropriately gluing together the holomorphic disk potentials of Lagrangian tori. I will explain how to approach mirror symmetry predictions using Floer theory, staying purely within the holomorphic disk point of view on the mirror LG model. I will focus on two examples: the period integral formula for quantum periods of Fanos, and the quantum Lefschetz formula.
