I. Physical Theory = Geometric Space
Le temps et l’espace... Ce n’est pas lanature qui nous les impose, c’est nousqui les imposons a la nature parce quenous les trouvons commodes.
Time and space ... it is not Naturewhich imposes them upon us, it is wewho impose them upon Nature becausewe find them convenient.
- Henri Poincare

Idea: View geometric features of a spacetime as “emerging” fromobservations of scattering processes for strings propogating in thatspace-time.

II. Take Symmetry Seriously!
Slogan: Never ask if two entities are equal; instead provide anidentification of one with the other.
Symmetries = identifications of an object with itselfSymmetries can have symmetries, and so on ad infinitum!This is modeled by 8-groupoids
Grothendieck’s Homotopy Hypothesis:
πď8: Top Spaces Ñ 8-groupoids
implements an equivalence of homotopy
theories for any good model of
8-groupoids

- Algebras of observables in classical and quantum field theories arefactorization algebras.Simplest case: Observables in TFTs are Ed -algebras.
- Solutions to equations of motion = (-1)-shifted symplectic space
- BV-quantization is a natural construction in derived geometry
- Boundary conditions (branes) can naturally be organized into 8-categories
- Various moduli spaces in math and physics are naturally derived 8-stacks
- The philosophy “deformation problems are controlled by dg-Lie algebras”becomes a theorem in the homotopical world
- Derived moduli spaces automatically have the “expected dimension”
- Intersection theory is better behaved

Classification of TFTs
Topological Field Theories (TFTs) of dim d are physical theories thatassign invariants to manifolds of dimension ď d .
Theorem (Lurie)
A TFT Z is completely determined by Z(pt)
In topological string theory: d “ 2 , and Z pptq is a k-linear stable8-category over k “ C.
Definition (Kontsevich)
A derived noncommutative space (nc-space) over k is a k-linear stable8-category
Examples: FukpX , ωq, DCohpX , I q, DReppQq

nc-geometry
There are well-developed nc-analogues of various notions from complexalgebraic geometry and symplectic geometry:
- Properties, such as smoothness and compactness
- Structures, such as orientations (Calabi-Yau structures)
- Invariants, such as K-theory, Betti and de Rham cohomology
- Hodge theory
- Gromov-Witten theory (curve-counting)
- Donaldson-Thomas theory (counting BPS states)

III. Harmonic representatives
Study isomorphism classes of mathematical objects by finding canonical“good” representatives in each isomorphism class.
Schema:
- E isomorphism class of object
- MetpE q = space of representatives in the isomorphism class
- Auxillary data: convex function S : MetpE q Ñ R
Definition
- Unstable: S is not bounded below
- Semistable: S is bounded below
- Polystable: S attains a (unique) minimum
Fixed point of flow generated by ´gradS= Minimizer of S (harmonic representative)

Nonlinear examples: II
Infinite dimensional analogue of Kempf-Ness (Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau):
X “ space of connections on a smooth complex vector bundle on acomplex manifold Y with F p2,0q “ 0;K = compact gauge group
Auxillary structure: Kahler metric on YS is given by Bott-Chern secondary characteristic classesMoment map is given by curvature
(Polystable holomorphic bundles) » (Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections).
RHS = connections satisfying a certain PDE (BPS branes)Gradient flow for S is Donaldson’s heat flow
Problem: Generalize this to complexes of vector bundles

Metrized objects: non-archimedean case

- Cmet a OK -linear stable 8-category

Let E P Cgen.
1 A metrization of E is an object E P Cmet and an equivalenceα : E bOK
K Ñ E .
2 A metrization pE , αq is harmonic of phase θ if E bOKk P Cps

A nonarchimedean categorical DUY theorem
Theorem (Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-P.)
There is a natural Bridgeland stability structure tCssgen,θuθPR,Zgen on the
generic fiber Cgen, such that E P Cpsgen,θ if and only if E admits a harmonic
metrization.
Key idea: Given E P Cgen + pE , αq P MetpE q,
HN-filtraion of E bOKk in Csp defines a “tangent vector” to MetpE q
flow on the generalized building Met
The flow converges to a fixed point iff the object is polystable. Moregenerally it converges to the HN-filtration, which is a point in acompactification of MetpE q.
