3D Mirror Symmetry is 2D Mirror Symmetry

Explore a mathematical physics seminar where Ki Fung Chan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong presents an innovative approach to understanding 3d mirror symmetry through the lens of 2d mirror symmetry. Learn about three key observations: how 3d brane transforms relate to SYZ-type transforms, the mechanism by which 2d mirror symmetry's exchange of symplectic and complex structures induces the exchange of Kähler and equivariant parameters in 3d mirror symmetry, and how 2d mirror symmetry functionalities control the gluing of 3d mirrors. The presentation also covers potential applications to 2d mirror symmetry, representing joint research with Naichung Conan Leung as part of Harvard CMSA's Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Seminar series.
