Textbook: Tropical Geometry and mirror symmetry by Mark Gross.
Subject: MATH.
Catalogue Number: 7800.
Class Index Number: 16725.
Course Description.
The main theme of this class is the Gross--Siebert program in mirror symmetry.
My plan is to follow Gross' book for the first three or four chapters.
We will begin at the introductory level,
assuming only basic knowledge of algebraic geometry,
and spend a few weeks building necessary machinery for the subject.
The (perhaps too ambitious) goal is to go through the entire book.
Possible topics include:
- Tropical geometry.
- Gromov--Witten theory.
- Variation of Hodge structure.
- Log geometry.
- Example in complex projective plane.
- Period integrals in tropical geometry.
- Gross--Siebert program.
