The present note overviews our recent construction of real Gromov-Witten theory in arbitrary genera for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold, its properties, and…
We use Donaldson hypersurfaces to construct pseudo-cycles which define Gromov-Witten invariants for any symplectic manifold which agree with the invariants in the cases where transversality could be achieved by perturbing the almost complex…
This note compares the usual (absolute) Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold with the invariants that count the curves relative to a (symplectic) divisor D. We give explicit examples where these invariants differ even though it…
We study the behaviour of rational curves tangent to a hypersurface under degenerations of the hypersurface. Working within the framework of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory, we extend the degeneration formula to the logarithmically…
We study how to use a suitably ample locally free sheaf over a proper Deligne-Mumford stack to furnish an embedding of the stack into a geometric invariant theory (GIT) quotient stack constructed from a finite-dimensional linear…
Let A_r be the minimal resolution of the cyclic quotient singularity C^2/Z_{r+1}. We study the equivariant quantum cohomology ring of the n-fold symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)] of A_r. We calculate the operators of quantum…
We explicitly calculate the Grothendieck $K$-theory ring of a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack and define an analog of the Chern character. In addition, we calculate $K$-theory pushforwards and pullbacks for weighted blowups of reduced…
This research announcement discusses our results on Gromov-Witten theory of root gerbes. A complete calculation of genus 0 Gromov-Witten theory of $\mu_{r}$-root gerbes over a smooth base scheme is obtained by a direct analysis of virtual…
We investigate the birational geometry of Deligne-Mumford stacks and define new birational invariants in this context.
We determine the all-genus Hodge-Gromov-Witten theory of a smooth hypersurface in weighted projective space defined by a chain or loop polynomial. In particular, we obtain the first genus-zero computation of Gromov-Witten invariants for…
The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…
Split toric stacks over a number field $F$ are natural generalization of split toric varieties over $F$. Notable examples are weighted projective stacks. In our previous work, we defined heights on Deligne-Mumford stacks using so-called…
In this survey we add two new results that are not in our paper [MR15]. Using the idea of brane actions discovered by Toen, we construct a lax associative action of the operad of stable curves of genus zero on a smooth variety X seen as an…
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…
Given a vector bundle $F$ on a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack $\X$ and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class $\bc$, we define the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\X$ twisted by $F$ and $\bc$. We prove a "quantum Riemann-Roch…
This is the sequel to my preprint "TCFTs and Calabi-Yau categories", math.QA/0412149. Here we extend the results of that paper to construct, for certain Calabi-Yau A-infinity categories, something playing the role of the Gromov-Witten…
In this paper we study the Real Gromov-Witten theory of local 3-folds over Real curves. We show that this gives rise to a 2-dimensional Klein TQFT defined on an extension of the category of unorientable surfaces. We use this structure to…
We study relative Gromov-Witten theory via universal relations provided by the interaction of degeneration and localization. We find relative Gromov-Witten theory is completely determined by absolute Gromov-Witten theory. The relationship…
In this article, we give a survey of Geometric Invariant Theory for Toric Varieties, and present an application to the Einstein-Weyl Geometry. We compute the image of the Minitwistor space of the Honda metrics as a categorical quotient…
We compute the relative orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_{n+1}]\times \mathbb{P}^1$, with respect to vertical fibers. Via a vanishing property of the Hurwitz-Hodge bundle, 2-point rubber invariants are…
