Birational Geometry and Quantum Invariants: October 30-November 3, 2023

Participant ListScheduleDANFORDS SHUTTLEView Videos

Organized by:

  • Daniel Halpern-Leistner (Cornell)
  • Melissa Liu (Columbia)
  • Mark McLean (Stony Brook)
  • Tony Pantev (UPenn)
  • Daniel Pomerleano (UMass Boston)

This Workshop is focused on quantum invariants in birational geometry. The main themes under consideration will be the behavior of quantum cohomology and the Fukaya category under birational transformations. The workshop will also examine Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-Yu’s recent proposal to extract birational invariants from quantum cohomology as well as interactions between manifold of stability conditions on the derived category of coherent sheaves with quantum cohomology.
