A short way of counting maps to hypersurfaces in Grassmannians

Algebraic Geometry 2025-06-13 v1

Abstract

Using a Quot scheme compactification, we calculate the virtual count of maps of degree dd from a smooth projective curve of genus gg to a hypersurface in a Grassmannian, sending specified points of the curve to special Schubert subvarieties restricted to the hypersurface. We study the question of whether this virtual count is in fact enumerative under suitable conditions on the hypersurface, in the regime when the map degree dd is large.
