The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture and its impact

Abstract

This article surveys the development of the SYZ conjecture since it was proposed by Strominger, Yau and Zaslow in their famous 1996 paper, and discusses how it has been leading us to a thorough understanding of the geometry underlying mirror symmetry.
