Symplectic Geometry Seminar: Lagrangian skeleta of very affine complete intersections

In this talk, I will present some new results about skeleta of complete intersections inside (C*)^n. I will start by briefly reviewing the Batyrev-Borisov mirror construction, which uses combinatorial dualities between lattice polytopes to produce mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Fano toric varieties. The main focus of the talk will be /open Batyrev-Borisov complete intersections (BBCIs)/, which are Liouville manifolds obtained by removing the toric boundary in the Batyrev-Borisov construction. I will explain how one can use tropical geometry to compute Lagrangian skeleta of open BBCIs and decompose them into pieces mirror to certain toric varieties, which leads to a proof of homological mirror symmetry (generalising the work of Gammage-Shende and Zhou in the case of hypersurfaces).
