Fukaya categories at singular values of the moment map
Ed Segal (University College London)


Given a Hamiltonian torus action on a symplectic manifold, Fukaya and Teleman tell us that we can relate the equivariant Fukaya category to the Fukaya category of a symplectic reduction. Yanki Lekili and I have some conjectures that extend this story - in certain special examples - to singular values of the moment map.
I'll also explain the mirror symmetry picture that we use to support our conjectures, and how we interpret our claims in Teleman's framework of `topological group actions' on categories.
