   SYZ for hypersurfaces in toric varieties

   2024

   First year miniproject

   Abs PDF

   Notes on SYZ for hypersurfaces in toric varieties, following the paper by Auroux, Abouzaid and Katzarkov. Includes a summary of the construction and a worked out example: homological mirror symmetry for T^*S^2

2. 

   Derived categories and cubic fourfolds

   2024

   First year miniproject

   Abs PDF

   Joint miniproject on derived categories. I focused on cubic fourfolds and their Kuznetsov components. Included are some foundations and for example, the proof that the Kuznetsov component is CY2. I focus in particular on cubic fourfolds containing a plane and show they are associated to a twisted K3 surface. Also, I briefly discuss Addington-Thomas’ paper connecting the Hodge theoretic and derived categorical viewpoints.

   2023

   Abs PDF

   Part III essay I wrote under the supervision of Dr. Jack Smith. The content is about Fukaya categories, in particular those of cotangent bundles of spheres. I give an overview of Seidel’s paper on the topic.
