Abstract:

Motivated by the study of mirror symmetry, Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) conjectured that Calabi-Yau manifolds admit certain minimal Lagrangian fibrations. These minimal Lagrangians are the special Lagrangian submanifolds studied earlier by Harvey-Lawson. Many of the implication of the SYZ conjecture is proved and it has been the guiding principle for studying mirror symmetry for a long time. However, not many special Lagrangians are known in the literature. In this talk, I will prove the existence of special Lagrangian fibration on the complement of a smooth anti-canonical divisor in a (weak) Del Pezzo surface. If the time allows, I will explain its impact to mirror symmetry. This is joint work with Tristan Collins and Adam Jacob.
