Liana Heuberger, Mirror Symmetry and the Classification of Q-Fano Threefolds
B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic ofSpeaker Liana Heuberger University of Bath I will discuss how to use the classification of Gorenstein canonical Fano polytopes (and Laurent polynomials supported on them) in the construction of terminal Q-factorial Fano threefolds which admit a toric degeneration. I contextualise this within the framework of Fano mirror symmetry, using a technique called Laurent …
