This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award to the University of Texas at Austin totals $181,612 and runs from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027. The funding supports research on homological and enumerative intrinsic mirror symmetry, a deep phenomenon in string theory that connects different mathematical structures. The key objectives are to prove claims regarding the geometry of Calabi-Yau varieties, including a relationship between the intrinsic mirror ring and symplectic monodromy ring, and to compute enumerative period integrals from the mirror construction's wall structure. This research is expected to produce fundamental advances in mathematics and physics, while also providing research training opportunities for students.
