Algebraic Geometry 2014-07-07 v1

Abstract

The goal of these notes is to provide an informal introduction to Gromov-Witten theory with an emphasis on its role in counting curves in surfaces. These notes are based on a talk given at the Fields Institute during a week-long conference aimed at introducing graduate students to the subject which took place during the thematic program on Calabi-Yau Varieties: Arithmetic, Geometry, and Physics.
