Speaker: Martin Vogrin Date: 10:30 17/06/2022 Title: Constructing quantum K-theory invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Abstract: In the talk I will present a recent approach to computing quantum K-theory invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds by supersymmetric localization. The approach will include constructing the $q$-difference analogues of Picard-Fuchs equations and periods. I will present the usefulness of the approach by computing the quantum K-theory invariants on the example of a hypersurface in a Grassmannian, which is joint work with H. Jockers.
