Mirror symmetry is one of the most mysterious dualities in mathematics. It originated from theoretical physics, and generated great impact on various areas of mathematics, in particular differential geometry and algebraic geometry. The objects of study are geometric shapes called Calabi-Yau manifolds that appear naturally in different contexts of mathematics and physics. Mirror symmetry predicts that given any Calabi-Yau manifold, there exists a mirror manifold, such that an ever-growing list of geometric relations hold between the two, involving deep and elaborate invariants that are otherwise unrelated. Despite the continual progress in the subject, both the full extent of existence of mirror manifolds and the underlying mathematical mechanism of mirror symmetry remain unsolved today. This project brings a new approach to the study of mirror symmetry, based on latest developments from non-archimedean geometry. The goal is to conceive and pursue a full-fledged theory of non-archimedean mirror symmetry, which will lead to new results unattainable from existing methods, as well as applications beyond the current scope. This award will also support graduate and undergraduate students. The mirror existence problem will be studied via the enumeration of analytic curves with boundaries in non-archimedean SYZ torus fibrations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. New constructions of such fibrations will be explored using non-archimedean Monge-Ampère equations in addition to the minimal model program. An analog of the Gromov compactness theorem for non-archimedean curves with boundaries needs to be established, based on generalized tail conditions, which depend on novel analytic surgeries of the target spaces. The construction of virtual fundamental classes for the curve counts will rely on our previous works on derived non-archimedean geometry. PI will prove various properties of the mirror algebra obtained from the curve counts, including associativity, radius of convergence and singularity estimates. The local mirror algebras are expected to glue together to form the global mirror variety using wall-crossing formulas. A long-term goal is to show that the mirror construction is an involution, the best exhibition of mirror duality. PI also aims for applications outside mirror symmetry, in particular towards cluster algebras in representation theory and the moduli of KSBA stable pairs in birational geometry. PI expects fruitful future interactions with the Gross-Siebert program based on logarithmic geometry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

镜像对称是数学中最神秘的对偶之一。它起源于理论物理学，对数学的各个领域，特别是微分几何和代数几何产生了巨大的影响。研究的对象是被称为卡-丘流形的几何形状，它们自然地出现在不同的数学和物理环境中。镜像对称性预测，给定任何卡-丘流形，都存在一个镜像流形，使得两者之间存在不断增长的几何关系列表，涉及深度和复杂的不变量，否则这些不变量是不相关的。尽管在这个问题上不断取得进展，镜像流形存在的全部范围和镜像对称的基本数学机制今天仍然没有解决。这个项目带来了一个新的方法来研究镜像对称，从非阿基米德几何的最新发展的基础上。我们的目标是构思和追求一个成熟的非阿基米德镜像对称理论，这将导致新的结果无法从现有的方法，以及超出目前范围的应用。该奖项还将支持研究生和本科生。镜像存在性问题将通过计算Calabi-Yau流形的非阿基米德SYZ环面纤维化中带边界的解析曲线来研究。这种纤维化的新的建设将探讨使用非阿基米德Monge-Ampère方程除了最小模型程序。基于广义尾条件，需要建立具有边界的非阿基米德曲线的Gromov紧性定理的模拟，该条件依赖于目标空间的新的解析运算。虚拟的基本类的曲线计数的建设将依赖于我们以前的作品派生非阿基米德几何。PI将证明从曲线计数获得的镜像代数的各种性质，包括结合性，收敛半径和奇异性估计。局部镜像代数被期望粘合在一起，以形成使用跨壁公式的全局镜像簇。一个长期的目标是表明镜像结构是一种对合，是镜像二重性的最佳展示。PI还致力于镜像对称之外的应用，特别是对表示论中的簇代数和双有理几何中KSBA稳定对的模。PI期望未来与基于对数几何的Gross-Siebert计划进行富有成效的互动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
