We conjecture a formula for the generating function of genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of the local Calabi-Yau manifolds which are the total spaces of splitting bundles over projective spaces. We prove this conjecture in several special…

If X is a nonsingular curve in a Calabi--Yau threefold Y whose normal bundle N_{X/Y} is a generic semistable bundle, are the local Gromov-Witten invariants of X well defined? For X of genus two or higher, the issues are subtle. We will…

In this paper, we show that the derivative of the genus-1 Virasoro conjecture for Gromov-Witten invariants along the direction of quantum volume element holds for all smooth projective varieties. This result provides new evidence for the…

It is well known that the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a gerbe banded by a diagonalizable group decomposes according to the characters of the group. We establish the corresponding decomposition of the unbounded derived category of…

Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra can be realized through a change of generators in the undeformed algebra. q-Deformations of Weyl or Clifford algebrae that were covariant under the action of a simple Lie algebra g are…

We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…

We compute local Gromov-Witten invariants of cubic surfaces at all genera. We use a deformation of a cubic surface to a nef toric surface and the deformation invariance of Gromov-Witten invariants.

We introduce a global Landau-Ginzburg model which is mirror to several toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and describe the change of the Gromov-Witten theories under discrepant transformations. We prove a formal decomposition of the quantum…

Given two equivariant vector bundles over an algebraic GKM manifold with the same equivariant Chern classes, we show that the genus zero equivariant Gromov--Witten theory of their projective bundles are naturally isomorphic.

It is known that the Seiberg-Witten invariants, derived from supersymmetric Yang-Mill theories in four-dimensions, do not distinguish smooth structure of certain non-simply-connected four manifolds. We propose generalizations of…

We show that (equivariant) K-theoretic 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of genus zero on a Grassmann variety are equal to triple intersections computed in the ordinary (equivariant) K-theory of a two-step flag manifold, thus generalizing an…

For a compact and connected Lie group $G$, we present an explicit construction of an $\mathbb{S}^1$-gerbe over the differentiable stack $[G/G]$ in the framework of $\mathbb{S}^1$-central extensions of Lie groupoids. This gives a complete…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\Y$ a $G$-gerbe over an orbifold $\B$. A disconnected orbifold $\hat{\Y}$ and a flat U(1)-gerbe $c$ on $\hat{\Y}$ is canonically constructed from $\Y$. Motivated by a proposal in physics, we study a…

The local Gromov-Witten theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. Localization is used for the exact evaluation of basic integrals in the local Gromov-Witten theory of P^1. A TQFT formalism is defined via…

We study the invariant theory of a class of quantum Weyl algebras under group actions and prove that the fixed subrings are always Gorenstein. We also verify the Tits alternative for the automorphism groups of these quantum Weyl algebras.

Consider a compact symplectic sub-orbifold groupoid $\sf S$ of a compact symplectic orbifold groupoid $(\mathsf X,\omega)$. Let $\mathsf X_{\mathfrak a}$ be the weight-$\mathfrak a$ blowup of $\sf X$ along $\sf S$, and $\mathsf D_{\mathfrak…

We consider the decision problem of whether a particular Gromov--Witten invariant on a partial flag variety is zero. We prove that for the $3$-pointed, genus zero invariants, this problem is in the complexity class ${\sf AM}$ assuming the…

We introduce K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of algebraic orbifold target spaces. Using the methods developed by Givental-Tonita we characterize Giventals Lagrangian cone of quantum K theory of orbifolds in terms of the cohomological…

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 show that the generating functions of Gromov--Witten invariants with ancestors are invariant under a simple flop, for all genera, after an analytic continuation in the extended K\"ahler moduli space. This is a sequel to [LLW].
