Quantum Mirror Symmetry for the Conifold

Quantum Mirror Symmetry for the Conifold

Explore advanced concepts in quantum geometry through this lecture on quantum mirror symmetry for the conifold. Delve into open Gromov-Witten invariants for the conifold with a single Aganagic-Vafa brane, and discover how the generating series satisfies an operator equation given by a skein-valued quantization of the mirror curve. Learn about the recursion that can be solved explicitly for the series, and examine the relationship between colored HOMFLYPT polynomials and Gromov-Witten invariants. Presented by Vivek Shende from the University of California, Berkeley, this talk offers insights into joint work with Tobias Ekholm, providing a deep dive into cutting-edge research in quantum geometry and mirror symmetry.
