We present a construction of an open analogue of total descendant and total ancestor potentials via an "open version" of Givental's action. Our construction gives a genus expansion for an arbitrary solution to the open WDVV equations…

Based on a geometric interpretation of Brotbek's symmetric differential forms, for the intersection family $\mathcal{X}$ of generalized Fermat-type hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{K}}^N$ defined over any field $\mathbb K$, we…

The study of the intersection cohomology of moduli spaces of semistable bundles was initiated by Frances Kirwan in the 1980's. In this paper, we give a complete geometric proof of a recursive formula, which reduces the calculation of the…

The moduli space of stable relative maps to the projective line combines features of stable maps and admissible covers. We prove all standard Gromov-Witten classes on these moduli spaces of stable relative maps have tautological…

This is the sequel of the first part math.DG/0611281. Here, the procedure of transgressing the families index theorem (the so-called $\eta$-form) is adapted to take in account the case of Dirac type operators with kernels of varying…

In this paper, based on the author's lectures at the 1995 les Houches Summer school, explicit expressions for the Friedan--Shenker connection on the vector bundle of WZW conformal blocks on the moduli space of curves with tangent vectors at…

We consider a natural generalization of the Carlsson-Okounkov Ext operator on the K-theory groups of the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface. We compute the commutation relations between the Ext operator and the…

We study the enumerative geometry of algebraic curves on abelian surfaces and threefolds. In the abelian surface case, the theory is parallel to the well-developed study of the reduced Gromov-Witten theory of K3 surfaces. We prove complete…

We introduce a variety $Y_{n,k}$, which we call the \textit{affine $\Delta$-Springer fiber}, generalizing the affine Springer fiber studied by Hikita, whose Borel-Moore homology has an $S_n$ action and a bigrading that corresponds to the…

We give an proof on the Weinstein conjecture on the cotangent bundles of open manifolds. Its proof is based on Gromov's nonlinear Fredholm alternative.

We consider a class of relative $n$-Calabi--Yau dg-algebras, referred to as relative Ginzburg algebras, associated with marked surfaces equipped with a decomposition into $n$-gons ($n$-angulation). We relate their derived categories to the…

We prove a formula for the structure sheaf of a quiver variety in the Grothendieck ring of its embedding variety. This formula generalizes and gives new expressions for Grothendieck polynomials. We furthermore conjecture that the…

We conjecture and prove closed-form index expressions for the cohomology dimensions of line bundles on del Pezzo and Hirzebruch surfaces. Further, for all compact toric surfaces we provide a simple algorithm which allows expression of any…

A graphical expansion formula for non-commutative matrix integrals with values in a finite-dimensional real or complex von Neumann algebra is obtained in terms of ribbon graphs and their non-orientable counterpart called Moebius graphs. The…

We prove that for any k greater or equal to 2, given a smooth compact k-dimensional manifold and a multiplicative k-1-gerbe on a Lie group, together with an integrable connection, there is a line bundle on the corresponding…

A recently formulated conjecture of Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy gives an asymptotic expansion of the Jimbo--Miwa--Ueno isomonodromic $\tau$-function for certain Painlev\'e transcendents. The coefficients in this expansion are given in terms…
