In this talk, I will explain the recent applications of Arakelov theory to the Bogomolov Conjecture on small points.

Let X_\Sigma be a toric surface and let (\check {X}, W) be its Landau-Ginzburg (LG) mirror where W is the Hori-Vafa potential as shown in their preprint. We apply asymptotic analysis to study the extended deformation theory of the LG model (\check {X}, W), and prove that semi-classical limits of Fourier modes of a specific class of Maurer-Cartan solutions naturally give rise to tropical disks in X with Maslov index 0 or 2, the latter of which produces a universal unfolding of W. For X = \mathbb{P}^2, our construction reproduces Gross' perturbed potential W_n [Adv. Math. 224 (2010), pp. 169-245] which was proven to be the universal unfolding of W written in canonical coordinates. We also explain how the extended deformation theory can be used to reinterpret the jumping phenomenon of W_n across walls of the scattering diagram formed by Maslov index 0 tropical disks originally observed by Gross in the same work (in the case of X = \mathbb{P}^2).

Wedge product on deRham complex of a Riemannian manifold M can be pulled back to H^∗(M) via explicit homotopy, constructed using Green’s operator, to give higher product structures. We prove Fukaya’s conjecture which suggests that Witten deformation of these higher product structures have semiclassical limits as operators defined by counting gradient flow trees with respect to Morse functions, which generalizes the remarkable Witten deformation of deRham differential from a statement concerning homology to one concerning real homotopy type of M. Various applications of this conjecture to mirror symmetry are also suggested by Fukaya.

The Colmez conjecture is a formula expressing the Faltings height of an abelian variety with complex multiplication in terms of some linear combination of logarithmic derivatives of Artin L-functions. The aim of this paper to prove an averaged version of the conjecture, which was also proposed by Colmez.
