Jack Smith

I am a College Associate Lecturer at St John's College, Cambridge, where I am also Director of Studies in Pure Mathematics.

Previously I was a visiting researcher at the Fields Institute, Toronto, a postdoc at University College London, and a PhD student of Ivan Smith.

Here you can find my thesis, me on arXiv, and my department profile page.

I can be contacted by email at j.smith AT dpmms.cam.ac.uk.

Research

My main interests are in mirror symmetry and in interactions between algebra and Floer theory.

Published and submitted papers:

• Homological Berglund–Hübsch mirror symmetry for curve singularities
  Joint with Matthew Habermann
  arXiv, to appear in J. Symplectic Geom.
• Monotone Lagrangians in \(\mathbb{CP}^n\) of minimal Maslov number \(n+1\)
  Joint with Momchil Konstantinov
  arXiv, to appear in Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.
• Quantum cohomology and closed-string mirror symmetry for toric varieties
  Q. J. Math., Volume 71, Issue 2, June 2020, 395–438

Teaching

In Michaelmas 2020 I am lecturing Part III Differential Geometry. Course resources, including video lectures and example sheets, are available to registered students on the course Moodle page.

In June 2018 I gave a short lecture course on K-theory to PhD students at the London School of Geometry and Number Theory. Expanded notes are availble here.
