Originating Calendar: Mathematics Colloquium & Named Lectures; Title: Counting minimal Lagrangians via Mirzakhani’s function.

Abstract: A classical problem in Geometry has been to count closed geodesics on negatively curved manifolds. I will explain how Mirzakhani’s count of simple closed geodesics can be used to count minimal Lagrangians on some Kahler-Einstein 4-manifolds.
This is joint work with Marques and Lowe. The talk will be self contained and I will motivate the results from first principles and working examples.
