We survey the approach to mirror symmetry via Laurent polynomials, outlining some of the main conjectures, problems, and questions related to the subject. We discuss: how to construct Landau--Ginzburg models for Fano varieties; how to apply…
We review some recent results on random polynomials and their generalizations in complex and symplectic geometry. The main theme is the universality of statistics of zeros and critical points of (generalized) polynomials of degree $N$ on…
We introduce the notion of a conical symplectic variety, and show that any symplectic resolution of such a variety is isomorphic to the Springer resolution of a nilpotent orbit in a semisimple Lie algebra, composed with a linear projection.
We compare the performances of symplectic and non-symplectic integrators for the computation of normal geodesics and conjugate points in sub-Riemannian geometry at the example of the Martinet case. For this case study we consider first the…
We study the orthogonal projections of symplectic balls in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ on complex subspaces. In particular we show that these projections are themselves symplectic balls under a certain complexity assumption. Our main result is a…
We study the Landau-Ginzburg mirror of toric/non-toric blowups of (possibly non-Fano) toric surfaces arising from SYZ mirror symmetry. Through the framework of tropical geometry, we provide an effective method for identifying the precise…
Witten's Gauged Linear $\sigma$-Model (GLSM) unifies the Gromov-Witten theory and the Landau-Ginzburg theory, and provides a global perspective on mirror symmetry. In this article, we summarize a mathematically rigorous construction of the…
Using a basic idea of Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, one can see a Lie groupoid as the fundamental groupoid of its Lie algebroid. This paper studies analogues of Lie algebroids with non-trivial higher homotopy. Using various homotopy…
Symplectic and Poisson geometry emerged as a tool to understand the mathematical structure behind classical mechanics. However, due to its huge development over the past century, it has become an independent field of research in…
We describe mirror symmetry for weak toric Fano manifolds as an equivalence of D-modules equipped with certain filtrations. We discuss in particular the logarithmic degeneration behavior at the large radius limit point, and express the…
These are the notes of rather informal lectures given by the first co-author in UPMC, Paris, in January 2017. Practical goal is to explain how to compute or estimate the Morse index of the second variation. Symplectic geometry allows to…
For oriented surfaces $\Sigma$ with boundary, we consider the infinite-dimensional deformation space of projective structures on $\Sigma$ with nondegenerate boundary, up to isotopies fixing the boundary. We show that this space carries a…
We introduce an explicit class of tempered Laurent polynomials in the sense of Villegas and Doran--Kerr in $n \leqslant 4$ variables including all Landau--Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds with very ample anticanonical class. We…
Call a Laurent polynomial $W$ `complete' if its Newton polytope is full-dimensional with zero in its interior. We show that if $W$ is any complete Laurent polynomial with coefficients in the positive part of the field $K$ of generalised…
This article is concerned with a geometric tool given by a pair of projector operators defined by almost product structures on finite dimensional manifolds, polarized by a distribution of constant rank and also endowed with some geometric…
We build a bridge between Floer theory on open symplectic manifolds and the enumerative geometry of holomorphic disks inside their Fano compactifications, by detecting elements in symplectic cohomology which are mirror to Landau-Ginzburg…
A synaptic algebra is a generalization of the Jordan algebra of selfadjoint elements of a von Neumann algebra. We study symmetries in synaptic algebras, i.e., elements whose square is the unit element, and we investigate the equivalence…
By using help of algebraic operad theory, Leibniz algebra theory and symplectic-Poisson geometry are connected. We introduce the notion of cohomological vector field defined on nongraded symplectic plane. It will be proved that the…
We study a broad class of polynomial optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions exhibit sparsity patterns. We give two characterizations of the number of critical points to these problems, one as a mixed volume and one…
Recently it has been argued, that Poincar\'{e} supersymmetric field theories admit an underlying loop space hamiltonian (symplectic) structure. Here shall establish this at the level of a general $N=1$ supermultiplet. In particular, we…
