In this series of papers, we propose a theory of enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories. Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for the structure group $\mathrm{GL}…
We define a formal Gromov-Witten theory of the quintic 3-fold via localization on CP4. Our main result is a direct geometric proof of holomorphic anomaly equations for the formal quintic in precisely the same form as predicted by B-model…
We prove a decomposition theorem for the quantum cohomology of variations of GIT quotients. More precisely, for any reductive group $G$ and a simple $G$-VGIT wall-crossing $X_- \dashrightarrow X_+$ with a wall $S$, we show that the quantum…
Block and G\"ottsche introduced a Laurent polynomial multiplicity to count tropical curves. Itenberg and Mikhalkin then showed that this multiplicity leads to invariant counts called tropical refined invariants. Recently, Brugall\'e and…
We prove that the Schubert structure constants of the quantum $K$-theory ring of any minuscule flag variety or quadric hypersurface have signs that alternate with codimension. We also prove that the powers of the deformation parameter $q$…
Elements of the tropical vertex group are formal families of symplectomorphisms of the 2-dimensional algebraic torus. Commutators in the group are related to Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of quiver representations and the…
Given $\mathfrak{F}$ a coherent sheaf on a Noetherian integral algebraic stack $\mathfrak{P}$, we give two constructions of stacks $\widetilde{\mathfrak{P}}$, equipped with birational morphisms $p:\widetilde{\mathfrak{P}}\to \mathfrak{P}$…
We consider K-theoretic Gromov-Witten theory of root constructions. We calculate some genus $0$ K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of a root gerbe. We also obtain a K-theoretic relative/orbifold correspondence in genus $0$.
We introduce a geometric refinement of Gromov-Witten invariants for $\mathbb P^1$-bundles relative to the natural fiberwise boundary structure. We call these refined invariant correlated Gromov-Witten invariants. Furthermore, we prove a…
For a gerbe $\Y$ over a smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stack $\B$ banded by a finite group $G$, we prove a structure result on the Gromov-Witten theory of $\Y$, expressing Gromov-Witten invariants of $\Y$ in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants…
We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
We derive explicit formulae for the generating series of mixed Grothendieck dessins d'enfant/monotone/simple Hurwitz numbers, via the semi-infinite wedge formalism. This reveals the strong piecewise polynomiality in the sense of…
We consider the refined $\mathrm{SU}(r)$ Vafa-Witten partition function of a smooth projective surface with non-zero holomorphic 2-form. This partition function has a vertical contribution, expressible in terms of nested Hilbert schemes.…
We prove a conjecture of Bousseau, van Garrel and the first-named author relating, under suitable positivity conditions, the higher genus maximal contact log Gromov-Witten invariants of Looijenga pairs to other curve counting invariants of…
We compute the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces in terms of projective representations of groups. As an application we prove that the complex Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces of positive genus are positive integers.
Gromov-Witten invariants for arbitrary projective varieties and arbitrary genus are constructed using the techniques from K. Behrend, B. Fantechi: The intrinsic normal cone.
We exhibit and discuss "wild" analogues of the five-term quantum dilogarithm identity. We derive these from the representation theory of quivers, using motivic wall-crossing, the geometricity of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants, and…
In 2015, G.~Mikhalkin introduced a refined count for real rational curves in toric surfaces. The counted curves have to pass through some real and complex points located on the toric boundary of the surface, and the count is refined…
We introduce a global Landau-Ginzburg model which is mirror to several toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and describe the change of the Gromov-Witten theories under discrepant transformations. We prove a formal decomposition of the quantum…
The present article is the first in a series whose ultimate goal is to prove the Kotschick-Morgan conjecture concerning the wall-crossing formula for the Donaldson invariants of a four-manifold with b^+ = 1. The conjecture asserts that the…
