Location:  3096 East Hall (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM)

Title:  An introduction to SYZ mirror symmetry

Abstract:   The study of mirror symmetry discovered by string theorists has led to revolutionary developments in enumerative geometry in the past two decades. In this talk, I will illustrate mirror symmetry by a simple example, and explain a mathematical approach to study mirror symmetry proposed by Strominger-Yau-Zaslow, which has closed relations with Lagrangian intersection theory.
