International Laboratory for Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms

• We have obtained results in the fields in categorical, Kähler and algebraic geometry, as well as automorphic form theory and Lee algebra in number theory and theoretical physics.

• We have proven the conjecture on homological mirror symmetry for the 3D projective space, special cases of the Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev conjectures on filtration of Landau–Ginzburg models, the first-order theta-block conjecture of Gritsenko-Poor-Yuen, proven the Kontsevich conjecture on homotopy finiteness of derived categories of coherent sheaves on finite type schemes.

• A new approach to proving the conjecture on the conjecture on homological mirror symmetry for general type manifolds has been initiated.

• The laboratory has proposed a new method to solve the classical problem of the irrationality of the general 4D cubic plane curve that was formulated in the 1920s.

Implemented results of research:

• Our research bears important multidisciplinary value within theoretical mathematical (Kähler, algebraic and differential geometry, infinite dimensional Lie algebra, automorphic form theory, numbers theory) and modern theoretical physics (quantum field theory, quantum gravitation, string theory).

Education and career development:

• Three doctor dissertations and one candidate dissertations have been defended, as well as 9 master degree thesis.

• 184 researchers have received additional training completion certificates at events organised by the Laboratory: the «Summer Mathematics School on Fontanka. Geometry 2017», a series of master classes by Maxim Kontsevich, the School of Advanced Research for Young Mathematicians «Hodge theory: the past and the future», the International Siberian Summer Schools «Modern Geometry» in Novosibirsk, the International Winter School in Dubna «Statistical sums and automorphic forms».

• We have conducted courses by the head of the Laboratory Ludmil Katzarkov «Categories theory», «Weinstein manifolds and symplectic cohomologies - 1, 2», «Birational invariants from the symplectic topology».

• The Laboratory has organized the seminar «Jakobi forms 30 years later» for final-year students by the head of the laboratory Prof. Gritsenko at the Coursera international Internet platform (1240 active listeners all over the world as of the end of 2017).
• Three weekly scientific seminars have been organized: «Automorphic forms and their applications», «Categories theory and its applications» and «Seminar in arithmetic geometry».

• Employees of the Laboratory have compiled and delivered 22 education courses.

Other results:

The Laboratory researcher A. I. Efremov receive a Russian Academy of Sciences Gold Medal with an award for young scientists in 2017 for the series of works entitled «Derived categories and cyclic homologues» and in 2020 he was awarded a European Mathematical Society prize.

In 2019 the deputy head of the Laboratory V. V. Przhiyalkovsky received a prize from the Government of Moscow and a grant from the president of the Russian Federation for young Russian scientists.
