Mirror symmetry and Fano manifolds (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coates, T., Corti, A., Galkin, S., Golyshev, V., & Kasprzyk, A. M. Mirror symmetry and Fano manifolds. Presented at 6th European Congress of Mathematics

We consider mirror symmetry for Fano manifolds, and describe how one can recover the classification of 3-dimensional Fano manifolds from the study of their mirrors. We sketch a program to classify 4-dimensional Fano manifolds using these ideas.
