Roger Casals - Additive categorification and Lagrangian skeleta

October 27, 2026
Abstract
In this talk we will explain how to use the diagrammatic calculus of Demazure weaves to construct and manipulate relative CY3 categories associated to certain Lefschetz fibrations. A key idea is the introduction and study of categorical semitwists and the symplectic geometric realization of simple heart tilts. In a nutshell, we will explain developments in and around the interaction between contact and symplectic geometry and the representation theory surrounding cluster algebras.
