Prof. Johannes Walcher (McGill)

Description

I will review extended mirror symmetry, explain the notion of 2-functions that we introduced (as an arithmetic generalization of di-logarithm) in recent work with Schwarz and Vologodsky, and the calculation of special values of L-functions that arise in this context.
