Enumerative invariants from categories

Abstract

Categorical enumerative invariants are purely algebraic, Gromov--Witten like invariants associated with categories with suitable properties. In the case of Fukaya categories, these are expected to recover the Gromov--Witten invariants of the underlying symplectic manifolds. After an overview of the mirror symmetry background, I will describe the steps needed to relate the categorical invariants with the geometric ones and report on some ongoing work in this direction.
