  2. Mirror symmetry (string theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_symmetry_(string...

    The homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Maxim Kontsevich states that the derived category of coherent sheaves on one Calabi–Yau manifold is equivalent in a certain sense to the Fukaya category of its mirror. [54] This equivalence provides a precise mathematical formulation of mirror symmetry in topological string theory.

    The topological insulators and superconductors are classified here in ten symmetry classes (A,AII,AI,BDI,D,DIII,AII,CII,C,CI) named after Altland–Zirnbauer classification, defined here by the properties of the system with respect to three operators: the time-reversal operator , charge conjugation and chiral symmetry . The symmetry classes are ...

  4. Homological mirror symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homological_mirror_symmetry

    Mirror symmetry not only replaces the homological dimensions but also the symplectic structure and complex structure on the mirror pairs. That is the origin of homological mirror symmetry. In 1990-1991, Candelas et al. 1991 had a major impact not only on enumerative algebraic geometry but on the whole mathematics and motivated Kontsevich (1994).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_string_theory

    Various calculations in topological string theory are closely related to Chern–Simons theory, Gromov–Witten invariants, mirror symmetry, geometric Langlands Program, and many other topics. The operators in topological string theory represent the algebra of operators in the full string theory that preserve a certain amount [ clarification ...

  6. Floer homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floer_homology

    The homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Maxim Kontsevich predicts an equality between the Lagrangian Floer homology of Lagrangians in a Calabi–Yau manifold and the Ext groups of coherent sheaves on the mirror Calabi–Yau manifold. In this situation, one should not focus on the Floer homology groups but on the Floer chain groups.

    Symplectic geometry studies spaces equipped with a symplectic form, a mathematical tool that can be used to compute area in two-dimensional examples. [ 17 ] The homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Maxim Kontsevich states that the derived category of coherent sheaves on one Calabi–Yau manifold is equivalent in a certain sense to the ...

  8. Quantum cohomology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_cohomology

    In mathematics, specifically in symplectic topology and algebraic geometry, a quantum cohomology ring is an extension of the ordinary cohomology ring of a closed symplectic manifold. It comes in two versions, called small and big; in general, the latter is more complicated and contains more information than the former.

  9. Mirror symmetry conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_symmetry_conjecture

    In mathematics, mirror symmetry is a conjectural relationship between certain Calabi–Yau manifolds and a constructed "mirror manifold". The conjecture allows one to relate the number of rational curves on a Calabi-Yau manifold (encoded as Gromov–Witten invariants) to integrals from a family of varieties (encoded as period integrals on a variation of Hodge structures).
