We state and prove a topological recursion relation that expresses any genus-g Gromov-Witten invariant of a projective manifold with at least a (3g-1)-st power of a cotangent line class in terms of invariants with fewer cotangent line…
These expository notes are based on a series of lectures given at the May 2018 Snowbird workshop, Crossing the Walls in Enumerative Geometry. We give an introductory treatment of the notion of a virtual fundamental class in algebraic…
Using degeneration techniques, we prove the correspondence of tropical curve counts and log Gromov-Witten invariants with general incidence and psi-class conditions in toric varieties for genus zero curves and all non-superabundant…
Relationships between moduli spaces of curves and sheaves on 3-folds are presented starting with the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence proposed more than 20 years ago with D. Maulik, N. Nekrasov, and A. Okounkov. The descendent…
We develop a gluing algorithm for Gromov-Witten invariants of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds based on localization and gluing graphs. The main building block of this algorithm is a generating function of cubic Hodge integrals of special form.…
In the previous article "Refined Analytic Torsion on Manifolds with Boundary" we have presented a construction of refined analytic torsion in the spirit of Braverman and Kappeler, which does apply to compact manifolds with and without…
The first part of this work constructs real positive-genus Gromov-Witten invariants of real-orientable symplectic manifolds of odd "complex" dimensions; the second part studies the orientations on the moduli spaces of real maps used in…
This paper provides some technical results needed in "Formalism for Relative Gromov-Witten Invariants." We study line-bundles on the moduli stacks of relative stable and rubber maps that are used to define relative Gromov-Witten invariants…
Let $\ix$ be a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack over the complex numbers. One can define twisted orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\ix$ by considering multiplicative invertible characteristic classes of various bundles on the moduli spaces…
We show that the standard generating functions for genus 0 two-point twisted Gromov-Witten invariants arising from concavex vector bundles over symplectic toric manifolds are explicit transforms of the corresponding one-point generating…
We establish new universal equations for higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of target manifolds, by studying both the Chern character and Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of curves. As a consequence, we find new…
This paper gives a detailed construction of Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology for a closed oriented 3-manifold with a non-torsion $\spinc$ structure. Gluing formulae for certain 4-dimensional manifolds splitting along an embedded 3-manifold are…
We study K-theoretic Gromov--Witten invariants of projective hypersurfaces using a virtual localization formula under finite group actions. In particular, it provides all K-theoretic Gromov--Witten invariants of the quintic threefold modulo…
We define Gromov-Witten classes and invariants of smooth projective schemes of finite presentation over a Dedekind domain. We prove that they are deformation invariants and verify the fundamental axioms. For a smooth projective scheme over…
We compute the local Gromov-Witten invariants of certain configurations of rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold. These configurations are connected subcurves of the `minimal trivalent configuration', which is a particular tree of P^1's…
Using Gromov-Witten theory the numbers of complex plane rational curves of degree d through 3d-1 general given points can be computed recursively with Kontsevich's formula that follows from the so-called WDVV equations. In this paper we…
We will define a version of Seiberg-Witten-Floer stable homotopy types for a closed, oriented 3-manifold $Y$ with $b_1(Y) > 0$ and a spin-c structure $\mathfrak{c}$ on $Y$ with $c_1(\mathfrak{c})$ torsion under an assumption on $Y$. Using…
We explore the theory of connected Gromov-Witten invariants of the symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)]. We derive closed-form expressions for all equivariant invariants with two insertions and reveal a natural correspondence between the…
We describe a program for proving that the Gromov-Witten moduli spaces of compact symplectic manifolds carry a unique virtual fundamental class that satisfies certain naturality conditions. The virtual fundamental class is constructed using…
In this paper, we exhibit a formula relating punctured Gromov-Witten invariants used by Gross and Siebert to 2-point relative/logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants with one point-constraint for any smooth log Calabi-Yau pair $(W,D)$. Denote…
