This is a research in the field of algebraic geometry. The project addresses four problems providing novel interfaces between complex geometry and string theory and quantum physics. The first problem aims to construct new Hodge theoretic invariants of symplectic and complex manifolds. The building and computation of these invariants requires the development of new foundational formalism of Deligne cohomology, Griffiths groups, and normal functions in non-commutative geometry. The second problem seeks a new method for analysing the fine geometric structure of the moduli of objects in differential graded categories of Clalabi-Yau type. The third problem applies the method to a problem in symplectic topology and introduces a new concrete geometric description of the Fukaya category. The fourth problem addresses the construction of the mirror map for del Pezzo surfaces, and describes a strategy for proving the homological mirror symmetry conjecture in this context. The understanding of these questions is essential for unifying various linearization procedures in algebraic geometry, symplectic topology, theoretical and mathematical physics. The project sets the stage for understanding the basic structure of algebraic varieties in a way suitable for pragmatic use in a broad spectrum of applications. Aside from the natural applications to algebraic geometry and topology, the work proposed will be immediately relevant to deep questions in quantum gravity and cosmology. The project outlines concrete interdisciplinary applications to string dualities and the quantization of three dimensional field theories.The project also aims to organize a concentrated effort on enhancing and building a new geometric arsenal of techniques applicable to the theory of algebraic cycles, symplectic topology, and high energy physics. This will be achieved by training a group of young researchers, and graduate students in mathematics and physics, and by a curriculum development of a course on Mirror Symmetry, non-commutative geometry, and algebraic constructions of Fukaya categories. Specific research opportunities on the interface of geometry and string theory for graduate students and postdocs are also discussed.

这是代数几何领域的一项研究。该项目解决了四个问题，为复杂几何、弦理论和量子物理之间提供了新的接口。第一个问题旨在构造辛流形和复流形的新的Hodge理论不变量。这些不变量的建立和计算需要发展非交换几何中的Deligne上同调、Griffiths群和正规函数的新的基本形式。第二个问题寻求一种新的方法来分析Clalabi-Yau型微分梯度范畴中物体模的精细几何结构。第三个问题将该方法应用于辛拓扑中的一个问题，并引入了深谷范畴的一种新的具体几何描述。第四个问题解决了del Pezzo曲面的镜像映射的构造，并描述了在这种情况下证明同调镜像对称猜想的策略。理解这些问题对于统一代数几何、辛拓扑、理论和数学物理中的各种线性化过程是必不可少的。该项目为理解代数品种的基本结构奠定了基础，以一种适合于广泛应用的实用方法。除了代数几何和拓扑学的自然应用之外，提出的工作将与量子引力和宇宙学的深层问题直接相关。该项目概述了弦对偶和三维场论量化的具体跨学科应用。该项目还旨在组织一项集中的工作，以增强和建立一个适用于代数循环理论、辛拓扑和高能物理的新几何技术库。这将通过培养一批年轻的研究人员和数学和物理方面的研究生，以及开发一门关于镜像对称、非交换几何和富谷范畴的代数构造的课程来实现。本文还讨论了研究生和博士后在几何与弦理论界面方面的具体研究机会。
