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…

Given a submanifold Z inside X, let Y be the blow-up of X along Z. When the normal bundle of Z in X is convex with a minor assumption, we prove that genus-zero GW-invariants of Y with cohomology insertions from X, are identical to…

In this paper, we give a simple formula for the generating function of genus-2 Gromov-Witten invariants for manifolds with semisimple quantum cohomology, and use this formula to prove the genus-2 Virasoro conjecture for such manifolds.

We prove a general extension theorem for holomorphic line bundles on reduced complex spaces, equipped with singular hermitian metrics, whose curvature currents can be extended as positive, closed currents. The result has applications to…

We use the Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern to construct an effective Hamiltonian, completely integrable action of a torus T on an open dense subset of a coadjoint orbit of the unitary group. We then identify a proper Hamiltonian T-manifold centered…

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g>2, and let x be a fixed point. A framed bundle is a pair (E,\phi), where E is a vector bundle over X, of rank r and degree d, and \phi:E_x\to C^r is a non-zero homomorphism.…

Minimum numbers of fixed points or of coincidence components (realized by maps in given homotopy classes) are the principal objects of study in topological fixed point and coincidence theory. In this paper we investigate fiberwise analoga…

A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…

We define Gromov-Witten classes and invariants of smooth proper tame Deligne-Mumford stacks of finite presentation over a Dedekind domain. We prove that they are deformation invariants and verify the fundamental axioms. For a smooth proper…

A duality is discussed for Lie group bundles vs. certain tensor categories with non-simple identity, in the setting of Nistor-Troitsky gauge-equivariant K-theory. As an application, we study C*-algebra bundles with fibre a fixed-point…

The geometric torsion conjecture asserts that the torsion part of the Mordell--Weil group of a family of abelian varieties over a complex quasiprojective curve is uniformly bounded in terms of the genus of the curve. We prove the conjecture…

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…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety, and let Y in X be a smooth very ample hypersurface such that -K_Y is nef. Using the technique of relative Gromov-Witten invariants, we give a new short and geometric proof of (a version of) the…

Toroidal 3-orbifolds $(S^1)^6/G$, for $G$ a finite group, were some of the earliest examples of Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds to be studied in string theory. While much mathematical progress towards the predictions of string theory has been made…

We provide an upper bound for the genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants of projective space relative to its toric boundary. The upper bound is polynomial in the contact orders, with degree depending on the number of marked points.…

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ with a simple normal crossing divisor $D:=D_1+D_2+...+D_n$, where $D_i\subset X$ are smooth, irreducible and nef. We prove a mirror theorem for multi-root stacks $X_{D,\vec r}$ by constructing an…

We prove a formula of Dale Peterson comparing genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of $G/P$ to those of $G/B$ using results of Atiyah-Bott and Ramanathan on canonical reductions of principal bundles.

Inspired by Eynard-Orantin topological recursions, we reformulate the Virasoro constraints for curves as residues of multilinear differentials. As applications they can be used to compute the $n$-point functions of Gromov-Witten invariants…

We consider the conformal $A_{n}$ Toda theory in AdS$_{2}$. Due to the bulk full Virasoro symmetry, this system provides an instance of a non-gravitational $\text{AdS}_{2}$/$\text{CFT}_{1}$ correspondence where the 1d boundary theory enjoys…

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ with a smooth nef divisor $D$ and a positive integer $r$, we construct an $I$-function, an explicit slice of Givental's Lagrangian cone, for Gromov--Witten theory of the root stack $X_{D,r}$. As an…
