We compute the $g=1$, $n=1$ B-model Gromov–Witten invariant of an elliptic curve $E$ directly from the derived category $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$. More precisely, we carry out the computation of the categorical Gromov–Witten invariant defined by Costello using as target a cyclic $\mathscr{A}_{\infty }$ model of $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$ described by Polishchuk. This is the first non-trivial computation of a positive-genus categorical Gromov–Witten invariant, and the result agrees with the prediction of mirror symmetry: it matches the classical (non-categorical) Gromov–Witten invariants of a symplectic 2-torus computed by Dijkgraaf.

Using Auroux’s description of Fukaya categories of symmetric products of punctured surfaces, we compute the partially wrapped Fukaya category of the complement of $k+1$ generic hyperplanes in $\mathbb{CP}^{n}$, for $k\geqslant n$, with respect to certain stops in terms of the endomorphism algebra of a generating set of objects. The stops are chosen so that the resulting algebra is formal. In the case of the complement of $n+2$ generic hyperplanes in $\mathbb{C}P^{n}$ ($n$-dimensional pair of pants), we show that our partial wrapped Fukaya category is equivalent to a certain categorical resolution of the derived category of the singular affine variety $x_{1}x_{2}\ldots x_{n+1}=0$. By localizing, we deduce that the (fully) wrapped Fukaya category of the $n$-dimensional pair of pants is equivalent to the derived category of $x_{1}x_{2}\ldots x_{n+1}=0$. We also prove similar equivalences for finite abelian covers of the $n$-dimensional pair of pants.

We prove that the moduli space of the pseudo holomorphic curves in the A-model on a symplectic torus is homeomorphic to a moduli space of Feynman diagrams in the configuration space of the morphisms in the B-model on the corresponding elliptic curve. These moduli spaces determine the A∞ structure of the both models.

This chapter gives pointers for more advanced topics, which require prerequisites that are beyond standard introductions to algebraic geometry. The Mckay correspondence relates the equivariant-derived category of a variety endowed with the action of a finite group and the derived category of a crepant resolution of the quotient. This chapter gives the results from Bridgeland, King, and Reid for a special crepant resolution provided by Hilbert schemes and of Bezrukavnikov and Kaledin for symplectic vector spaces. A brief discussion of Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry is included, as well as a discussion of stability conditions on triangulated categories. Twisted sheaves and their derived categories can be dealt with in a similar way, and some of the results in particular for K3 surfaces are presented.

Spherical objects — motivated by considerations in the context of mirror symmetry — are used to construct special autoequivalences. Their action on cohomology can be described precisely, considering more than one spherical object often leads to complicated (braid) groups acting on the derived category. The results related to Beilinson are almost classical. Section 3 of this chapter gives an account of the Beilinson spectral sequence and how it is used to deduce a complete description of the derived category of the projective space. This will use the language of exceptional sequences and semi-orthogonal decompositions encountered here. The final section gives a simplified account of the work of Horja, which extends the theory of spherical objects and their associated twists to a broader geometric context.

Abstract Mirror symmetry relates Gromov–Witten invariants of an elliptic curve with certain integrals over Feynman graphs [10]. We prove a tropical generalization of mirror symmetry for elliptic curves, i.e., a statement relating certain labeled Gromov–Witten invariants of a tropical elliptic curve to more refined Feynman integrals. This result easily implies the tropical analogue of the mirror symmetry statement mentioned above and, using the necessary Correspondence Theorem, also the mirror symmetry statement itself. In this way, our tropical generalization leads to an alternative proof of mirror symmetry for elliptic curves. We believe that our approach via tropical mirror symmetry naturally carries the potential of being generalized to more adventurous situations of mirror symmetry. Moreover, our tropical approach has the advantage that all involved invariants are easy to compute. Furthermore, we can use the techniques for computing Feynman integrals to prove that they are quasimodular forms. Also, as a side product, we can give a combinatorial characterization of Feynman graphs for which the corresponding integrals are zero. More generally, the tropical mirror symmetry theorem gives a natural interpretation of the A-model side (i.e., the generating function of Gromov–Witten invariants) in terms of a sum over Feynman graphs. Hence our quasimodularity result becomes meaningful on the A-model side as well. Our theoretical results are complemented by a Singular package including several procedures that can be used to compute Hurwitz numbers of the elliptic curve as integrals over Feynman graphs.

Abstract The derived category of coherent sheaves on a general quintic threefold is a central object in mirror symmetry. We show that it can be embedded into the derived category of a certain Fano elevenfold. Our proof also generates related examples in different dimensions.

AbstractWe prove Kontsevich’s homological mirror symmetry conjecture for certain mirror pairs arising from Batyrev–Borisov’s ‘dual reflexive Gorenstein cones’ construction. In particular we prove HMS for all Greene–Plesser mirror pairs (i.e., Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces in quotients of weighted projective spaces). We also prove it for certain mirror Calabi–Yau complete intersections arising from Borisov’s construction via dual nef partitions, and also for certain Calabi–Yau complete intersections which do not have a Calabi–Yau mirror, but instead are mirror to a Calabi–Yau subcategory of the derived category of a higher-dimensional Fano variety. The latter case encompasses Kuznetsov’s ‘K3 category of a cubic fourfold’, which is mirror to an honest K3 surface; and also the analogous category for a quotient of a cubic sevenfold by an order-3 symmetry, which is mirror to a rigid Calabi–Yau threefold.
