The scope of this review is to give a pedagogical introduction to some new calculations and methods developed by the author in the context of quantum groups and their applications. The review is self- contained and serves as a "first aid…
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 $0$.
This is an exposition of some recent developments related to the object in the title, particularly the combinatorial computation of the (genus 0) Gromov-Witten invariants of the flag manifold and the quadratic algebra approach. The notes…
In this series of papers we aim to provide a mathematically comprehensive framework to the Hamiltonian pictures of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes. Our final goal is to study the kinematics and the dynamics of the theory from the…
This is the introductory chapter to the volume. We review the main idea of the localization technique and its brief history both in geometry and in QFT. We discuss localization in diverse dimensions and give an overview of the major…
We establish a quantitative version of the Gromov compactness theorem for closed genus 0 pseudoholomorphic curves in the setting of a tamed almost complex manifold with bounded geometry.
This course is aimed at graduate students in physics in mathematics and designed to give a comprehensive introduction to Weyl quantization and semiclassics via Egorov's theorem. Chapter 2 gives a quick overview of classical and quantum…
We give a complete solution for the reduced Gromov-Witten theory of resolved surface singularities of type A_n, for any genus, with arbitrary descendent insertions. We also present a partial evaluation of the T-equivariant relative…
This is a brief reminder, with extensions, from a different angle and for a less specialized audience, of my presentation at WGMP32 in July 2013, to which I refer for more details on the topics hinted at in the title, mainly deformation…
We provide an introduction to the old-standing problem of isometric immersions. We combine a historical account of its multifaceted advances, which have fascinated geometers and analysts alike, with some of the applications in the…
This paper presents a brief but comprehensive introduction to certain mathematical techniques in General Relativity. Familiar mathematical procedures are investigated taking into account the complications of introducing a non trivial…
We study equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum cohomology in GKM theory. Building on the localization formula, we prove that the resulting expression is independent of the choice of compatible connection, and provide an…
We construct the higher genus Open-Closed Gromov-Witten potential as a solution of the quantum master equation defined up to quantum master isotopy.
Geometric quantization on a coset space $G/H$ is considered, intending to recover Mackey's inequivalent quantizations. It is found that the inequivalent quantizations can be obtained by adopting the symplectic 2-form which leads to Wong's…
We present an overview of Gromov-Witten theory and its links with string theory compactifications, focussing on the GW potential as the generating function for topological string amplitudes at genus $g$. Restricting to Calabi-Yau target…
This is an introduction to quantum gravity, aimed at a fairly general audience and concentrating on what have historically two main approaches to quantum gravity: the covariant and canonical programs (string theory is not covered). The…
These notes present an introduction to the method of geometric quantization. We discuss the main theorems in a style suitable for a theoretical physicist with an eye towards the physical motivation and the interpretation of the geometric…
We construct the quantum curve for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line.
In this paper, we propose another characterization of the generalized mirror transformation on the quantum cohomology rings of general type projective hypersurfaces. This characterics is useful for explicit determination of the form of the…
Here we review background in differential topology related to the calculation of an euler characteristic, and background on localization in equivariant cohomology. We then outline Gromov-Witten invariants in algebraic geometry and give…
