I will define A-\infty-categories and discuss some examples, mainly related to the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.

Tom Sutherland (Università degli Studi di Pavia)
Homological mirror symmetry in dimension one - Part II

9 January 2015 (Friday), Aula C, 13:30-15:00
Matteo Bonfanti (Università degli Studi di Milano)
Vector Bundles over an Elliptic Curve: Factors of Automorphy.
We rephrase the classification of vector bundles over an elliptic curve using the language and the theory of factors of automorphy. This is the same approach used by Polishchuk and Zaslow in their paper "Categorical Mirror Symmetry: The Elliptic Curve". This talk is based on a paper of Iena (2011).
Tom Sutherland (Università degli Studi di Pavia)
Homological mirror symmetry in dimension one
The aim of this talk and the subsequent one is to demonstrate a slightly weakened from of Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture for compact Calabi-Yau manifolds in the simplest non-trivial dimension 1, originally proved by Polischuk and Zaslow. The conjecture postulates an equivalence of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau manifold (in our case an elliptic curve) with a triangulated category associated to the Fukaya category of its mirror manifold (here a symplectic torus). In this first talk we define the functor on objects of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves with the help of Atiyah's classification of indecomposable vector bundles on the elliptic curve.

28 November 2014 (Friday), Aula 2, 13:30-15:00
Riccardo Moschetti (Università degli Studi di Pavia)
We will finish the proof of the theorem about the semiorthogonal decomposition of D^b(X) where X is a projective Gorenstein scheme. After a short introduction about semiorthogonal decompositions and exceptional objects we will focus on the proposition that describes the semiorthogonal decomposition in the algebraic case. As an example we will find the decomposition of the derived category of the projective plane (and of the weighted projective plane).
Matteo Bonfanti (Università degli Studi di Milano)
Vector Bundles over an Elliptic Curve: Classification.
In preparation for the Mirror Symmetry for elliptic curves we classify vector bundles over an elliptic curve. In particular we will follow the paper of Atiyah (1957) where the author proves a one-to-one correspondence between the elliptic curve and the set of indecomposable vector bundles of fixed rank and degree.

21 November 2014 (Friday), Aula C, 13:30-15:00
Francesco Amodeo (Università degli Studi di Milano) and Riccardo Moschetti (Università degli Studi di Pavia)
We will describe the construction of category of singularities in the case of graded modules in order to obtain a description of the derived category of a Gorenstein scheme. This result is particularly meaningful when X is a Calabi-Yau variety (http://www.mi.ras.ru/~orlov/papers/CYLG.pdf).
