Title: | Toric degenerations of Grassmann manifolds and mirror symmetry |
Date (JST): | Mon, Aug 30, 2010, 14:00 - 17:00 |
Place: | Seminar Room A |
Abstract: |
(Part 1) I will talk about the theory of toric degenerations and its application to a construction of conjectural mirror families for complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds in Grassmann manifolds. I will introduce the theory of sagbi basis, a subalgebra version of Grobner basis for ideals, and discuss the relations to Sturmfels' flat toric degenerations. (Part 2) I will talk about the toric degenerations in more detail, aiming to extend the mirror constructions for complete intersection Calabi-Yau 3-folds in ordinary Grassmannians to other types. It turns out that, for suitable degenerations, we have to choose a term order for which the homogeneous coordinate ring has an uniformly homogeneous sagbi basis. We classify these term orders for some special cases of ordinary Grassmannians and orthogonal Grassmannians. |
