Aim & Scope

This workshop explores extremal transitions and mirror symmetry through geometric, analytic, arithmetic, and integral structures arising from Calabi–Yau moduli on both the A- and B-sides and their degenerations. It features four mini-courses (two 90-minute lectures each) by the organizers, providing structured introductions to central themes, together with 60-minute research talks by invited speakers on recent developments and open problems. The goal is to foster the exchange of ideas and to develop a common language across these interconnected areas.
