Gromov--Witten/Pandharipande--Thomas correspondence via conifold transitions

Algebraic Geometry 2025-07-24 v3

Abstract

Given a (projective) conifold transition of smooth projective threefolds from XX to YY, we show that if the Gromov--Witten/Pandharipande--Thomas descendent correspondence holds for the resolution YY, then it also holds for the smoothing XX with stationary descendent insertions. As applications, we show the correspondence in new cases.
