Brane quantization and SYZ mirror symmetry

Abstract

Coisotropic A-branes were introduced by Kapustin--Orlov to enlarge the Fukaya category of a symplectic manifold in a way that aligns with predictions from homological mirror symmetry. From a mathematical perspective, however, the categorical framework governing such branes remains largely undeveloped. On the other hand, Gukov--Witten's brane quantization suggests that a holomorphic deformation quantization of a holomorphic symplectic manifold $X$ arises from the endomorphism algebra $Hom_A(B_{cc},B_{cc})$ of a canonical coisotropic A-brane $B_{cc}$, which naturally acts on the morphism space $Hom_A(B,B_{cc})$ with a Lagrangian A-brane $B$ that in turn gives precisely the geometric quantization of $B$. In this paper, we consider a holomorphic symplectic manifold $X$ which admits an SYZ fibration and apply SYZ mirror symmetry to study its brane quantization. Given any semi-affine, space-filling coisotropic A-brane $B_{cc}$ on $X$, we construct the mirror B-brane $\check{B}_{cc}$ on the mirror manifold $\check{X}$ by an SYZ transform. We then present a mathematical definition of the endomorphism algebra $Hom_A(B_{cc},B_{cc})$ by constructing a distinguished non-formal holomorphic deformation quantization of $X$. Using a twisted family Toeplitz construction, we transform $Hom_A(B_{cc},B_{cc})$ to the mirror B-side and prove that this induces an isomorphism $Hom_A(B_{cc},B_{cc})\cong Hom_B(\check{B}_{cc},\check{B}_{cc})$ between the endomorphism algebras. Furthermore, taking any torus fiber of $X$ as the Lagrangian A-brane $B$, we fully realize Gukov--Witten's proposal, namely, there is a natural action of $Hom_A(B_{cc},B_{cc})$ on $Hom_A(B,B_{cc})$ which is precisely mirror to the natural action on the mirror B-side. This provides a mathematical framework which is compatible with Gukov--Witten's brane quantization proposal, SYZ mirror symmetry as well as family Floer theory.

The $q$-deformed cross-ratio: modular invariants and Coxeter friezes

We introduce and study a scalar $q$-deformation of the cross-ratio on $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb Q)$. Our construction is based on the notion of $q$-deformed rational numbers due to Morier-Genoud and the author. The $q$-cross-ratio is invariant under $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, while elements of determinant $-1$ of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ act by $q\mapsto q^{-1}$. A principal result is its relation to $q$-deformed Coxeter friezes associated with rational polygons. The expansion at $q=e^h$ yields an algebraically independent sequence of modular invariants and relative invariants, although this sequence does not separate modular orbits. We compute the first two nonconstant coefficients of this expansion explicitly.

The Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in dimension five

We show that the sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds for domains in complete simply connected Riemannian $5$-manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature, which establishes the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in that dimension. The main step is a sharp inequality for constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces, proved via integrals over pairs of boundary points, in the spirit of Banchoff-Pohl, together with an estimate for Jacobi fields along geodesic chords. The inequality persists for boundaries of isoperimetric regions in geodesic balls, whose mean curvature is constant only on the free part. An isoperimetric-profile argument, after Kleiner, completes the proof. Our method also gives a new proof in dimension $3$.

On static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit relations and estimates involving the volume of the manifold and the geometry of its boundary. In the scalar-flat case, we prove global splitting and Ricci-flat rigidity results, including for disconnected boundary, while in the negative scalar curvature case we establish a sharp mean-curvature bound and characterize the equality case by an exponential warped-product structure. The proofs rely essentially on the study of the associated Einstein manifold. In appendix we derive several identities for static manifolds with boundary and discuss the associated Einstein manifold technique in the boundaryless setting.
