Syzygies and Mirror Symmetry Virtual Seminar

Fall 2025

Tuesdays 1:30-2:30 pm CT

Organizers:

Matthew Ballard, Christine Berkesch, Michael Brown, Daniel Erman, David Favero, Andrew Hanlon, Sheel Ganatra 

Background:  This seminar was launched in Spring 2024 with the goal of creating new connections among researchers working  on the circle of ideas related to multigraded syzygies, homological mirror symmetry, derived categories of toric varieties, and more.  In Spring 2024 and Fall 2024, the seminar focused primarily on expository talks.  

In Spring 2025, the seminar is changing format, and will feature an array of short talks (20-25 minutes) to provide a snapshot of current research on these topics, and—hopefully—to create new connections.  Each week will feature two short talks.  If you are interested in giving such a talk, please fill out this form (you may also want to email one of the organizers directly).

In Fall 2025, the seminar is changing format (again), we plan to run a learning seminar on VGIT and later tackle its connection to mirror symmetry and derived categories.

Anyone is welcome to attend this seminar, so please feel free to share this site with anyone you think might be interested.
