Title. Dubrovin’s conjectures in the Landau-Ginzburg setting
Abstract. Landau-Ginzburg (LG) models are the natural mirror candidates to Fano manifolds and have an enumerative theory analogous to quantum cohomology, known as FJRW theory. In this talk, I will begin by giving an overview of these ideas, keeping a running comparison to quantum cohomology in order to explain some of the similarities and subtleties. I will then briefly explain the notion of Frobenius manifolds, how they arise in FJRW theory and how Dubrovin’s conjectures for Fano varieties lead to natural analogues in this LG setting. Finally, I would like to discuss work-in-progress in collaboration with Yefeng Shen and Weiqiang He.
