21st April 2021: Frobenius manifolds from Gromov-Witten theory

Honglu Fan (Unige)

Title: Frobenius manifolds from Gromow-Witten theory

Abstract:

In this short talk I want to give a brief overview of how the genus-0 Gromov-Witten theory gives rise to (formal) Frobenius manifolds. This is a very standard procedure known even in the early stage of Gromov-Witten theory, but there has been a sign of revived interest. In the very limited time, I hope to at least make the definition of Frobenius manifold and its two important aspects (Frobenius algebra and Dubrovin connection) as precise as possible.
