Algebraic and Lagrangian Geometry

The technical formalisms and conceptual frameworks of present-day algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry are adequate for solving inner problems of each of these domains of mathematics.

However, the recently observed mirror symmetry phenomenon requires a fusion of them. Fortunately, this procedure began some time ago in the framework of the Geometric Quantization Theory. The aim of my lecture is to give an introduction to this “fusion” procedure.
