Shuai Guo:The Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence for the quintic threefold

Abstract: In this talk, we will first introduce the physical and mathematical versions of the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence conjecture for the Calabi-Yau threefolds. Then we will explain our approach to prove this conjecture for the most simple Calabi-Yau threefold - the quintic threefold. This is a work in progress joint with Felix Janda and Yongbin Ruan.
