AbstractEvery symplectic automorphism on a symplectic manifold induces an auto-equivalence on the (derived) Fukaya category, which gives rise to a categorical dynamical system. In this talk, I will first give a brief review of various Fukaya categories of symplectic manifolds with boundaries. Then, for a given symplectic automorphism, I will discuss how the categorical entropies of auto-equival...
AbstractI will start by reviewing an old joint work with Davesh Maulik and Yukinobu Toda on relating Gromov-Witten, Gopakumar-Vafa and stable pair invariants on compact Calabi-Yau 4-folds. For non-compact CY4 like local curves, similar invariants can be studied via the perspective of quasimaps to quivers with potentials. In a joint work in progress with Gufang Zhao, we define a virtual count fo...
