2 I. Physical Theory = Geometric Space Le temps et l espace... Ce n est pas la nature qui nous les impose, c est nous qui les imposons à la nature parce que nous les trouvons commodes. Time and space... it is not Nature which imposes them upon us, it is we who impose them upon Nature because we find them convenient. - Henri Poincaré Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
3 Idea: View geometric features of a spacetime as emerging from observations of scattering processes for strings propogating in that space-time. Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
4 II. Take Symmetry Seriously! Slogan: Never ask if two entities are equal; instead provide an identification of one with the other. Symmetries = identifications of an object with itself Symmetries can have symmetries, and so on ad infinitum! This is modeled by 8-groupoids Grothendieck s Homotopy Hypothesis: π ď8 : Top Spaces Ñ 8-groupoids implements an equivalence of homotopy theories for any good model of 8-groupoids Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
5 Homotopical Mathematics Classical Entity Sets Categories Groups Abelian groups modules / field k Associative rings assoc. k-algebras Commutative rings Topoi Algebraic Spaces Symplectic structures Abelian Categories Homotopical Analogue Spaces 8-categories Loop spaces Spectra chain complexes / k A 8 /E 1 -rings dg-algebras / k E n -rings E 8 -rings 8-topoi n-geometric 8-stacks 0-shifted symplectic structures n-shifted symplectic structures Stable 8-categories Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
6 - Algebras of observables in classical and quantum field theories are factorization algebras. Simplest case: Observables in TFTs are E d -algebras. - Solutions to equations of motion = (-1)-shifted symplectic space - BV-quantization is a natural construction in derived geometry - Boundary conditions (branes) can naturally be organized into 8-categories - Various moduli spaces in math and physics are naturally derived 8-stacks - The philosophy deformation problems are controlled by dg-lie algebras becomes a theorem in the homotopical world - Derived moduli spaces automatically have the expected dimension - Intersection theory is better behaved Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
7 Classification of TFTs Topological Field Theories (TFTs) of dim d are physical theories that assign invariants to manifolds of dimension ď d. Theorem (Lurie) A TFT Z is completely determined by Z(pt) In topological string theory: d 2, and Zpptq is a k-linear stable 8-category over k C. Definition (Kontsevich) A derived noncommutative space (nc-space) over k is a k-linear stable 8-category Examples: FukpX, ωq, DCohpX, I q, DReppQq Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
8 nc-geometry There are well-developed nc-analogues of various notions from complex algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry: - Properties, such as smoothness and compactness - Structures, such as orientations (Calabi-Yau structures) - Invariants, such as K-theory, Betti and de Rham cohomology - Hodge theory - Gromov-Witten theory (curve-counting) - Donaldson-Thomas theory (counting BPS states) Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
9 III. Harmonic representatives Study isomorphism classes of mathematical objects by finding canonical good representatives in each isomorphism class. Schema: - E isomorphism class of object - MetpE q = space of representatives in the isomorphism class - Auxillary data: convex function S : MetpEq Ñ R Definition - Unstable: S is not bounded below - Semistable: S is bounded below - Polystable: S attains a (unique) minimum Fixed point of flow generated by grads = Minimizer of S (harmonic representative) Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
10 Linear example: finite dimensions 1 W Ă V finite dimensional vector spaces; E rvs P V {W MetpEq v ` W ; an isomorphism v Ñ v 1 is an element w P W such that v v 1 w.

12 Nonlinear examples: II Infinite dimensional analogue of Kempf-Ness (Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau): X space of connections on a smooth complex vector bundle on a complex manifold Y with F p2,0q 0; K = compact gauge group Auxillary structure: Kähler metric on Y S is given by Bott-Chern secondary characteristic classes Moment map is given by curvature (Polystable holomorphic bundles)» (Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections). RHS = connections satisfying a certain PDE (BPS branes) Gradient flow for S is Donaldson s heat flow Problem: Generalize this to complexes of vector bundles Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18

There is a natural Bridgeland stability structure tcgen,θ ss u θpr, Z gen on the generic fiber C gen, such that E P C ps gen,θ if and only if E admits a harmonic metrization. Key idea: Given E P C gen + pẽ, αq P MetpEq, HN-filtraion of Ẽ b O K k in C sp defines a tangent vector to MetpEq flow on the generalized building Met The flow converges to a fixed point iff the object is polystable. More generally it converges to the HN-filtration, which is a point in a compactification of MetpE q. Pranav Pandit (U Vienna) Categorical Kähler Geometry June 6, / 18
