A moduli space of stable maps to the fibers of a fiber bundle is constructed. The new moduli space is a family version of the classical moduli space of stable maps to a non-singular complex projective variety. The virtual cycle for this…
We introduce the stack of r-spin maps. These are stable maps into a variety V from n-pointed algebraic curves of genus g, with the additional data of an r-spin structure on the curve. We prove that this stack is a Deligne-Mumford stack, and…
The enumerative geometry of r-th roots of line bundles is the subject of Witten's conjecture and occurs in the calculation of Gromov-Witten invariants of orbifolds. It requires the definition of the suitable compact moduli stack and the…
We prove the genus zero part of the generalized Witten conjecture relating moduli spaces of spin curves to Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies. That is, we show that intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable r-spin curves assemble into a…
Let $\mathscr{V}\mathrm{ect}_n$ be the moduli stack of vector bundles of rank $n$ on schemes. We prove that, if $E$ is a Zariski sheaf of ring spectra which is equipped with finite quasi-smooth transfers and satisfies the projective bundle…
We prove a closed formula for integrals of the cotangent line classes against the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of stable pointed curves. These integrals are computed via relations obtained from virtual…
We establish new universal equations for higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of target manifolds, by studying both the Chern character and Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of curves. As a consequence, we find new…
Let M be a moduli space of stable vector bundles on a curve with rank and degree fixed and coprime. We give a simple proof that the rational cohomology of M is generated by the Kunneth components of the Chern classes of the universal…
In this article we define stable supercurves and super stable maps of genus zero via labeled trees. We prove that the moduli space of stable supercurves and super stable maps of fixed tree type are quotient superorbifolds. To this end, we…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective algebraic variety. Given a line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ over $X$ and an integer $r>1$ one defines the stack $\sqrt[r]{\mathcal{L}/X}$ of $r$-th roots of $\mathcal{L}$. Motivated by Gromov-Witten theoretic…
We define a version of stable maps into the classifying stack $B\mathrm{GL}_N$, and develop a corresponding notion of $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants. In this setting, the evaluation morphisms are not of finite type; the definition…
We produce an equality between the Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space M of rank two odd degree stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and the Donaldson invariants of the algebraic surface $\Sigma \times P^1$. We…
The rational cohomology of the moduli space of rank two, odd degree stable bundles over a curve (of genus g > 1) has been studied intensely in recent years and in particular the invariant subring generated by Newstead's generators alpha,…
In this paper we construct a family of cohomology classes on the moduli space of stable curves generalizing Witten's $r$-spin classes. They are parameterized by a phase space which has one extra dimension and in genus $0$ they correspond to…
We generalize the First Reconstruction Theorem of Kontsevich and Manin in two respects. First, we allow the target space to be a Deligne-Mumford stack. Second, under some convergence assumptions, we show it suffices to check the hypothesis…
Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…
We prove that Chow groups of certain non-commutative Hilbert schemes have a basis consisting of monomials in Chern classes of the universal bundle. Furthermore, we realize the cohomology of non-commutative Hilbert schemes as a module over…
We provide an inductive algorithm computing Gromov-Witten invariants in all genera with arbitrary insertions of all smooth complete intersections in projective space. We also prove that all Gromov-Witten classes of all smooth complete…
We study here some aspects of the topology of the space of smooth, stable, genus 0 curves in a Riemannian manifold $X$, i.e. the Kontsevich stable curves, which are not necessarily holomorphic. We use the Hofer-Wysocki-Zehnder polyfold…
We compute some Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space of odd degree rank two stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface of any genus. Next we find the first correction term for the quantum product of this moduli space and hence get…
