Abstract
If you ask your friends about flops they might talk about post-Endgame Marvel movies, Doctor Who series 11 – 13 or Cats (2019). However, if you are unlucky enough to have an algebraic geometer as a friend, you might end up hearing about codimension 2 birational modifications instead. Unfortunately, only one of the aforementioned flops produces autoequivalences of a derived category.
I will talk about threefold flops with a single flopping curve and their classification, the associated autoequivalences, and throw in some mirror symmetric ideas like the Stringy KΓ€hler Moduli Space for good measure.
Series This talk is part of the Junior Geometry Seminar series.
