Description:

This book is an expanded version of lectures given at a summer school on symplectic geometry in Nordfjordeid, Norway, in June 2001. The unifying feature of the book is an emphasis on Calabi-Yau manifolds. The first part discusses holonomy groups and calibrated submanifolds, focusing on special Lagrangian submanifolds and the SYZ conjecture. The second studies Calabi-Yau manifolds and mirror symmetry, using algebraic geometry. The final part describes compact hyperkahler manifolds, which have a geometric structure very closely related to Calabi-Yau manifolds. The book is an introduction to a very active field of research, on the boundary between mathematics and physics. It is aimed at…
