We prove a conjecture of Artur Elezi in a generalized form suggested by Givental. Namely, our main result relates genus-0 Gromov--Witten invariants of a bundle space with such invariants of the base, provided that the fiber is a toric…

We prove genus $g$ invariants in quantum $K$-theory are determined by genus zero invariants of a smooth stack in the spirit of K.~Costello's result in Gromov--Witten theory.

We study the higher genus equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of the Hilbert scheme of n points of the plane. Since the equivariant quantum cohomology is semisimple, the higher genus theory is determined by an R-matrix via the Givental-Teleman…

We study stable maps to normal crossings pairs with possibly negative tangency orders. There are two independent models: punctured Gromov-Witten theory of pairs and orbifold Gromov-Witten theory of root stacks with extremal ages. Exploiting…

This expository article is an introduction to logarithmic Gromov--Witten (GW) theory. We discuss how to study the GW theory of a smooth projective variety via simple normal crossings degenerations. We survey several approaches to…

We propose an intersection-theoretic method to reduce questions in genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory to questions in the Gromov-Witten theory of smooth pairs, in the presence of positivity. The method is applied to the enumerative…

The quantum cohomology algebra of the (full) flag manifold is a fundamental example in quantum cohomology theory, with connections to combinatorics, algebraic geometry, and integrable systems. Using a differential geometric approach, we…

We prove a decomposition theorem for the quantum cohomology of variations of GIT quotients. More precisely, for any reductive group $G$ and a simple $G$-VGIT wall-crossing $X_- \dashrightarrow X_+$ with a wall $S$, we show that the quantum…

This is the third of three papers about the Compression Theorem: if M^m is embedded in Q^q X R with a normal vector field and if q-m > 0, then the given vector field can be straightened (ie, made parallel to the given R direction) by an…

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…

For any smooth complex projective variety X and smooth very ample hypersurface Y in X, we develop the technique of genus zero relative Gromov-Witten invariants of Y in X in algebro-geometric terms. We prove an equality of cycles in the Chow…

We introduce Gromov-Witten invariants with naive tangency conditions at the marked points of the source curve. We then establish an explicit formula which expresses Gromov-Witten invariants with naive tangency conditions in terms of…
