The goal of the talk is to construct embeddings of the N=2 superconformal vertex algebra, motivated by mirror symmetry, into the chiral de Rham complex, provided that we have solutions to the Killing spinor equations. Our approach to the chiral de Rham complex is based on the universal construction by Bressler and Heluani, which applies to any Courant algebroid over a smooth manifold. The Killing spinor equations that are considered come from the approach to special holonomy based on Courant algebroids in generalized geometry and are inspired by the physics of heterotic supergravity and string theory. The embeddings are given in two different set-ups. Firstly, for equivariant Courant algebroids over homogeneous manifolds, where the construction reduces to embeddings into the superaffinization of a quadratic Lie algebra, and the Killing spinor equations become purely algebraic conditions that can be checked on explicit examples. As an application, we present the first examples of (0,2) mirror symmetry on compact non-Kähler complex manifolds. These results are included in axiv:2012.01851, recently published in International Mathematical Research Notices. Secondly, for transitive Courant algebroids over complex manifolds, where these equations are equivalent to the Hull-Strominger system, with origins in the heterotic sigma-model studied by physicists. Several examples have been studied where the obtained results are applied. These results are included in arxiv:2305.06836. This talk is based on my PhD thesis, and is a joint work with Luis Álvarez-Cónsul and Mario Garcia-Fernandez.
A random polynomial is a polynomial whose coefficients are random variables. A major task in the theory of random polynomials is to examine how the real roots are distributed and correlated in situations where the degree of the polynomial is large. In this talk, we examine two classes of random polynomials that have captured the attention of researchers in the fields of probability theory and mathematical physics: elliptic polynomials and generalized Kac polynomials.
