Open Mirror Symmetry for Landau-Ginzburg Models

Explore mirror symmetry concepts in this mathematics seminar talk from the Weizmann Institute of Science's Ran Tessler at Kansas State University. Begin with a foundational overview of mirror symmetry before delving into Saito-Givental's theory and its mirror dual applications through FJRW theory and open FJRW theory. Drawing from collaborative research with Mark Gross and Tyler Kelly, examine the intricate relationships between these theoretical frameworks in the context of Landau-Ginzburg models. Learn how these mathematical structures contribute to our understanding of mirror symmetry and its applications in theoretical physics and mathematics.
