3d mirror symmetry is a mysterious duality for certian pairs of hyperk\"ahler manifolds, or more generally complex symplectic manifolds/stacks. In this paper, we will describe its relationships with 2d mirror symmetry. This could be…
We describe new autoequivalences of derived categories of coherent sheaves arising from what we call $\mathbb P^n$-objects of the category. Standard examples arise from holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Under mirror symmetry these…
Certain limits of the duality between M-theory on ${T^5/Z_2}$ and IIB on K3 are analyzed in Matrix theory. The correspondence between M-theory five-branes and ALE backgrounds is realized as three dimensional mirror symmetry. Non-critical…
We show that the base spaces of the semiuniversal unfoldings of some weighted homogeneous singularities can be identified with moduli spaces of $A_\infty$-structures on the trivial extension algebras of the endomorphism algebras of the…
In the case of toric varieties, we continue the pursuit of Kontsevich's fundamental insight, Homological Mirror Symmetry, by unifying it with the Mori program. We give a refined conjectural version of Homological Mirror Symmetry relating…
We study topological D-branes of type B in N=2 Landau-Ginzburg models, focusing on the case where all vacua have a mass gap. In general, tree-level topological string theory in the presence of topological D-branes is described…
These lecture notes are a friendly introduction to monopole Floer homology. We discuss the relevant differential geometry and Morse theory involved in the definition. After developing the relation with the four-dimensional theory, our…
In this expository paper, we discuss how Fourier-Mukai-type transformations, which we call SYZ mirror transformations, can be applied to provide a geometric understanding of the mirror symmetry phenomena for semi-flat Calabi-Yau manifolds…
In this paper we define an equivariant Floer $A_\infty$ algebra for $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C} P^1$ by using Cartan model. We then prove an equivariant homological mirror symmetry, i.e. an equivalence between an $A_\infty$ category of…
We use twisted Fourier-Mukai transforms to study the relation between an abelian fibration on a holomorphic symplectic manifold and its dual fibration. Our reasoning leads to an equivalence between the derived category of coherent sheaves…
This paper establishes an isomorphism between endomorphism algebras from the wrapped Fukaya category of a type of punctured surface, and the class of A-infinity algebras related to bordered knot Floer homology, called star algebras, which…
We use mirror symmetry to establish the first concrete arena of spacetime topology change in string theory. In particular, we establish that the {\it quantum theories} based on certain nonlinear sigma models with topologically distinct…
The aim of this article is to study certain categorical-algebraic frameworks for basic homological algebra, introduced in arXiv:2404.15896, with the aim of better understanding the differences between them. We focus on homological…
The main result of the present paper concerns finiteness properties of Floer theoretic invariants on affine log Calabi-Yau varieties $X$. Namely, we show that: (a) the degree zero symplectic cohomology $SH^0(X)$ is finitely generated and is…
We construct a class of supersymmetric boundary interactions in N=2 field theories on the half-space, which depend on parameters that are not at all renormalized or not renormalized in perturbation theory beyond one-loop. This can be used…
We construct two dimensional gauge theories with $N= (4,4)$ supersymmetry from branes of type IIA string theory. Quantum effects in the two dimensional gauge theory are analyzed by embedding the IIA brane construction into M-theory. We find…
We discuss aspects of topological B-type D-branes in the framework of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold X. We analyze the link between massless D-branes and monodromies in the CFT moduli space. A classification…
The goal of this introduction to symmetries is to present some general ideas, to outline the fundamental concepts and results of the subject and to situate a bit the following lectures of this school. [These notes represent the write-up of…
In this lecture I review how a matrix/Azumaya-type noncommutative geometry arises for D-branes in string theory and how such a geometry serves as an origin of the master nature of D-branes; and then highlight an abundance conjecture on…
These are notes from lectures given at the Clay Institute Summer School on "Floer homology, gauge theory and low-dimensional topology" (Budapest, 2004). The first part describes as background some of the geometry of symplectic fibre bundles…
