We study mirror symmetry for orbifold Hurwitz numbers. We show that the Laplace transform of orbifold Hurwitz numbers satisfy a differential recursion, which is then proved to be equivalent to the integral recursion of Eynard and Orantin…
In this paper we revisit several recent results on monotone and strictly monotone Hurwitz numbers, providing new proofs. In particular, we use various versions of these numbers to discuss methods of derivation of quantum spectral curves…
We describe the Hilbert schemes parametrizing curves on a cubic threefold of degree at most 5. In a forthcoming paper, we use this description to give a new proof and extension of a theorem of Iliev, Markushevich and Tikhimirov.
We give a mathematical account of a recent string theory calculation which predicts the number of rational curves on the generic quintic threefold. Our account involves the interpretation of Yukawa couplings in terms of variations of Hodge…
A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of $R^3_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(3)$. For each of its two $SO_q(3)$-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and…
Borcea-Voisin threefolds provided some of the first examples of mirror pairs in the Hodge-theoretic sense, but their mirror symmetry at the quantum level have not previously been shown. We prove a Givental-style quantum mirror theorem for…
Mirror symmetry, a phenomenon in superstring theory, has recently been used to give tentative calculations of several numbers in algebraic geometry. In this paper, the numbers of lines and conics on various hypersurfaces which satisfy…
We study some arithmetic properties of the mirror maps and the quantum Yukawa coupling for some 1-parameter deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we use the Schwarzian differential equation, which we derived previously, to…
Based on previous insights, we present an ansatz to obtain quantization conditions and eigenfunctions for a family of difference equations which arise from quantized mirror curves in the context of local mirror symmetry of toric Calabi-Yau…
This article accompanies my June 1998 seminaire Bourbaki talk on Givental's work. After a quick review of descendent integrals in Gromov-Witten theory, I discuss Givental's formalism relating hypergeometric series to solutions of quantum…
The mirror curves enable us to study B-model topological strings on non-compact toric Calabi--Yau threefolds. One of the method to obtain the mirror curves is to calculate the partition function of the topological string with single brane.…
We apply mirror symmetry to the problem of counting holomorphic rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold X with Z_3 x Z_3 Wilson lines. As we found in Part A [hep-th/0703182], the integral homology group H_2(X,Z)=Z^3 + Z_3 + Z_3 contains…
In this survey article we give an overview of how noncongruence modular curves can be viewed as Hurwitz moduli spaces of covers of elliptic curves at most branched above the origin. We describe some natural questions that arise, and…
The paper studies three classes of Frobenius manifolds: Quantum Cohomology (topological sigma-models), unfolding spaces of singularities (K. Saito's theory, Landau-Ginzburg models), and the recent Barannikov-Kontsevich construction starting…
We propose exact quantization conditions for the quantum integrable systems of Goncharov and Kenyon, based on the enumerative geometry of the corresponding toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our conjecture builds upon recent results on the…
We present a quantum deformation theory of the Airy curve and use it to establish a version of mirror symmetry of a point.
In this short note we prove that in the case of elliptic curves, the isomorphism of generalized complex structure between $T$-dual manifolds described by Cavalcanti-Gualtieri coincides with the mirror map for elliptic curves described by…
We consider mixed types of not only regular curves but also curves with singular points in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. In order to consider mixed type of curves with singular points, we consider the lightcone frame and lightcone framed…
We extend our variant of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces \cite{GN3} and clarify its relation with mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We introduce two classes (for the models A and B) of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibrated by K3 surfaces…
This proves Kontsevich's mirror conjecture for (on the symplectic side) a quartic surface in P^3.
