Abstract/Media

In this expository talk, we will review the construction of the "superpotential" which encodes counts of holomorphic discs with boundary on a (suitable) Lagrangian submanifold, focusing on the case of tori. We will discuss the relevance of the superpotential to mirror symmetry, its "wall-crossing" behavior (in a simple example), and its use to detect "exotic" monotone Lagrangians.
