Abstract

Quiver representation emerges from Lie theory and mathematical physics. Its simplicity and beautiful theory have attracted a lot of mathematicians and physicists. In this talk, I will explain localizations of a quiver algebra, and the relations with SYZ and noncommutative mirror symmetry. I will also explore the applications of quivers to computational models in machine learning.

Siu-Cheong Lau is an Associate Professor at Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Boston University. His main research interest lies in complex algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry, and more specifically mirror symmetry. He developed a constructive theory of mirror symmetry with collaborators, which leads to interesting results on SYZ, open Gromov-Witten invariants, mirror maps, homological mirror symmetry and modular forms.
