Background and planning
This session was used to discuss general background on mirror symmetry, and to
plan ahead.
To prompt discussion,
Yau's lecture slides
were used, although we only covered the first 6 slides.

Deformations of Hermitian Yang-Mills
Dan Simms
May 17th
SYZ for the projective plane
We attempted to follow Yu-Shen Lin's lecture (see below) and discussed SYZ for the
projective plane, and relations with curve counting.
