課程概述

Various constructions of Frobenius Manifolds, including (1) isomonodromic deformations, (2) Saito’s theory on singularities, (3) quantum cohomology, as well as (4) moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds.  

課程目標
There are a few, though not many, excellent references on Frobenius manifolds. They are mainly discussing fundamental examples arising from researches in the last few decades. While these examples are very important and the constructions are highly non-trivial and technically very involved, one thing is still lacking in the development of the whole theory, namely the categorical framework of Frobenius manifolds. It is thus the purpose of this course that I try to investigate the categorical concepts when introducing these constructions. For example, the notion of analytic continuations will be introduced to connect various different objects in various different moduli points. Besides homework presentations, students are required to report on chapters in [1], [2] and [3], as well as some assigned research articles.
