From categories to curve-counts in mirror symmetry
De Tim Perutz
I will report on aspects of work with Sheridan and Ganatra in which we show how homo- logical mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds implies equality of Yukawa couplings on the A- and B-sides. On the A-side, these couplings are generating functions for genus-zero GW invariants. On the B-side, one has a degenerating family of CY manifolds, and the couplings are fiberwise integrals involving a holomorphic volume form. We show that the Fukaya category implicitly "knows" the correct normalization of this volume form, as well as the mirror map.
