| Beschreibung: | "Mirror symmetry" is a phenomenon discovered by physicists around 1990 in the context of superconformal field theories. It claims a deep connection between the complex geometry of a space with the symplectic geometry of another space, its mirror partner. This correspondence works best for pairs of so-called Calabi-Yau manifolds, a class of Kähler manifolds admitting a holomorphic volume form. In the talk I want to give a view on mirror symmetry via the approach pursued jointly with Mark Gross (UCSD). It is based on degenerations of algebraic varieties and their description by discrete data, fashionably called "tropical geometry". |
