The proof of homological Mirror symmetry has It becomes famous among mathematicians by the following application to symplectic topology. the conjecture (due to Candelas etc.) that the Theory of pseudoholomorphic curves are very generating function obtained by cuonting the important method in global symplectic number of rational curves of Calabi-Y a u geometry. Gromov-Witen Floer satisfies certain differential equation etc. are important invariant obtained obtained from the deformation theory of another by using it. Calabi-Yau manifold, that is called its mirror. One of the main difficulty to study and use This conjecture itself is solved in many cases by symplectic invariant obtained by using Givental etc. and is called the classical mirror pseudoholomorphic curves is its calculation. s y m e t r y . At the heart of the construction there is a Homological Mirror symmetry is proposed by M. modli space of pseudoholomorphic curves. So to Kontsevitch in 1994 and deepen the mirror calculate those invariant directly from symmetry conjecture. definition requires to determine the set of It conjectures an equivalence of a category solution of certain nonlinear PDE that is of obtained from Lagrangian Floer theory of a course very difficult in general. () and the (Homological) mirror symmetry provides a of coherent sheaves of its way to calculate those invariant by moving the mirror. problem to one in complex geometry. The conjecture now can be stated rigorously The proof of Homological mirror symmetry is of when Lagrangian Floer theory is rigorously course useful to the understanding of Mirror established in the general setting by symmetry and string theory.
