Given any smooth toric surface S, we prove a SYM-HILB correspondence which relates the 3-point, degree zero, extended Gromov-Witten invariants of the n-fold symmetric product stack [Sym^n(S)] of S to the 3-point extremal Gromov-Witten…

We prove an explicit form of the Crepant Transformation Conjecture for Grassmannian flops. Our approach uses abelianization to first relate the restrictions of the Lagrangian cones to degree-2 classes, and then deduces the general result…

The author has proved that a crepant resolution Y of a Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every K\"{a}hler class in H^2_c(Y,\R). These manifolds are generalizations…

We introduce special classes of non-commutative crepant resolutions (= NCCR) which we call steady and splitting. We show that a singularity has a steady splitting NCCR if and only if it is a quotient singularity by a finite abelian group.…

Non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) are non-commutative versions of classical crepant resolutions in algebraic geometry. For 3-dimensional terminal Gorenstein singularities Iyama and Wemyss proved that all NCCRs are connected by…

We propose a general theory of the Open Gromov-Witten invariant on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce the moduli space of multi-curves and show how it leads to invariants. Our construction is based on an idea of Witten. In the special…

We introduce the notion of a ``non-commutative crepant'' resolution of a singularity and show that it exists in certain cases. We also give some evidence for an extension of a conjecture by Bondal and Orlov, stating that different crepant…

We consider type IIA string theory on a Calabi-Yau 2-fold with D6-branes wrapping 2-cycles in the 2-fold. We find a complete set of conditions on the supergravity solution for any given wrapped brane configuration in terms of SU(2)…

Integrals of the Chern classes of the Hodge bundle in Gromov-Witten theory are studied. We find a universal system of differential equations which determines the generating function of these integrals from the standard descendent potential…

We study the enumerative geometry of stable maps to Calabi-Yau 5-folds $Z$ with a group action preserving the Calabi-Yau form. In the central case $Z=X \times \mathbb{C}^2$, where $X$ is a Calabi-Yau 3-fold with a group action scaling the…

For which finite subgroups G of SL(r,C), r \geq 4, are there crepant desingularizations of the quotient space C^r/G? A complete answer to this question (also known as "Existence Problem" for such desingularizations) would classify all those…

In this paper we generalize standard results about non-commutative resolutions of quotient singularities for finite groups to arbitrary reductive groups. We show in particular that quotient singularities for reductive groups always have…

Let Z_3 act on C^2 by non-trivial opposite characters. Let X =[C^2/Z_3] be the orbifold quotient, and let Y be the unique crepant resolution. We show the equivariant genus 0 Gromov-Witten potentials of X and Y are equal after a change of…

We use the Gromov-Witten/Pairs descendent correspondence for toric 3-folds and degeneration arguments to establish the GW/P correspondence for several compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds (including all CY complete intersections in products of…

We derive a crepant resolution correspondence for some genus zero reduced Gromov-Witten invariants of Hilbert schemes of points on a K3 surface.

We determine all the Kummer-surface-type Calabi-Yau (CY) 3-folds, i.e., those $\hat{T/G}$ which are resolutions of 3-torus-orbifolds $T/G$ with only isolated singularities. There are only two such CY spaces: one with $G= \ZZ_3$ and $T$…

We define relative Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a general gluing theory of pseudo-holomorphic curves for symplectic cutting and contact surgery. Then, we use our general gluing theory to study the change of GW-invariants of…

We study Ruan's \textit{cohomological crepant resolution conjecture} for orbifolds with transversal ADE singularities. In the $A_n$-case we compute both the Chen-Ruan cohomology ring $H^*_{\rm CR}([Y])$ and the quantum corrected cohomology…

Twisted Gromov-Witten invariants are intersection numbers in moduli spaces of stable maps to a manifold or orbifold X which depend in addition on a vector bundle over X and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class. Special cases…

In this article, we determine the explicit toric variety structure of $\hl^{A_1(n)}(\CZ^n)$ for $n=4,5$, where $A_1(n)$ is the special diagonal group of all order 2 elements. Through the toric data of $\hl^{A_1(n)}(\CZ^n)$, we obtain…
