Title: Noncommutative geometry of Landau-Ginzburg models
Abstract: I will outline a categorical framework for studying the
symplectic geometry of Landau-Ginzburg models and the algebraic geometry
of Tyurin degenerations. The main ingredients in this story are sheaves of
categories and spherical functors. I will explain how this framework can
be used to construct Calabi-Yau structures on categories of branes, and
(shifted) symplectic structures on certain moduli spaces of branes. This
talk is based on joint work with L. Katzarkov and T. Spaide.
