SUMMARY:Faculty Colloquium
LOCATION:Cardwell Hall 102
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lino Amorim Title: Counting curves via categories Abs
 tract: Counting algebraic curves is a classical problem in geometry. Mirr
 or symmetry revealed that some of these counts\, known as Gromov-Witten i
 nvariants\, can be computed from unrelated complex-geometric data in a di
 fferent space. Later\, Kontsevich’s Homological Mirror Symmetry conjectur
 e suggested that these invariants can be recovered from certain categorie
 s. More ambitiously\, it should be possible to define analogues of Gromov
 -Witten invariants for categories equipped with additional structures. I 
 will briefly describe Gromov-Witten theory and give a sample computation.
  Then I will introduce Categorical Enumerative Invariants\, which are a c
 onjectural solution to the problem of assigning curve counts to categorie
 s\, and explain how this construction aims to connect homological mirror 
 symmetry with enumerative geometry.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/d4cf70
