Is there an easy way to write down the singular cohomology of a hypersurface in a toric variety? @David I agree you can get all the Betti numbers except in the middle dimension (and that too, if you can get the Euler characteristic). But does this say much about the ring structure? |

Is there an easy way to write down the singular cohomology of a hypersurface in a toric variety? OK, thanks Mariano. I find it really surprising that the ring structure of a projective hypersurface isn't easy to compute! |

A question on the SYZ mirror symmetry In "Mirror symmetry and T-duality in the complement of an anticanonical divisor", Denis Auroux works a number of examples of SYZ for Fano varieties. The toric Fano case is a good starting point: everything is totally concrete and geometric. (An unrelated reason to read that paper is that it's the only place I know of where the folk theorem that the self-Floer cohomology of a Lagrangian is a module over quantum cohomology is written down.) |

Homology classes represented by $J$-holomorphic curves For the record, as long as $\Sigma$ is closed and $(M,J,\omega)$ is almost-Kaehler the reason that $u_*[\Sigma]$ can't be torsion is the energy identity. |

How many “elementary” characterizations of twisted SU(2) representation varieties are known? Thanks Sam! This is so cool. Can someone with enough rep change $\mathbb{P}^{2g+2}$ to $\mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$? Here's how you get the two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$: let $\Sigma_g$ double-cover $\mathbb{P}^1$ with branch points $\lambda_0, \ldots, \lambda_{2g+1}$. Then the two quadrics are cut out by $X_0^2 + \cdots + X_{2g+1}^2$ and $\lambda_0X_0^2 + \cdots + \lambda_{2g+1}X_{2g+1}^2$. |
