Homological mirror symmetry, Hodge theory, and symplectic topology

Mirror symmetry is a deep relationship between algebraic and symplectic geometry, with origins in string theory. It was originally envisioned as an isomorphism between the Hodge theory of an algebraic variety and the `quantum Hodge theory' of a `mirror' symplectic manifold, but it was subsequently realized by Kontsevich that the relationship went far deeper. His Homological Mirror Symmetry (HMS) conjecture predicts an equivalence between the derived category of the variety and the Fukaya category of its mirror, and has far-reaching implications for diverse areas of mathematics. In previous work I have proved the conjecture in fundamental cases, established its precise relationship with the…
