This is the first in a sequence of papers in which we construct a quantum version of the Kirwan map from the equivariant quantum cohomology $QH_G(X)$ of a smooth complex projective variety X with the action of a connected complex reductive…

We establish a homology relation for the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of real curves which lifts to a WDVV-type relation for real Gromov-Witten invariants of real symplectic manifolds; we also obtain a vanishing theorem for these…

We define a new family of open Gromov-Witten type invariants based on intersection theory on the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic curves of arbitrary genus with boundary in a Lagrangian submanifold. We assume the Lagrangian submanifold…

We adapt classical Reidemeister torsion to monotone Lagrangian submanifolds using the pearl complex of Biran and Cornea. The definition involves generic choices of data and we identify a class of Lagrangians for which this torsion is…

For each positive rational number $\epsilon$, we define $K$-theoretic $\epsilon$-stable quasimaps to certain GIT quotients $W\sslash G$. For $\epsilon>1$, this recovers the $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten theory of $W\sslash G$ introduced in…

We give a computability result for open Gromov-Witten invariants based on open WDVV equations. This is analogous to the result of Kontsevich-Manin for closed Gromov-Witten invariants. For greater generality, we base the argument on a formal…

Quantum knot invariants (like colored HOMFLY-PT or Kauffman polynomials) are a distinguished class of non-perturbative topological invariants. Any known way to construct them (via Chern-Simons theory or quantum R-matrix) starts with a…

We build the abstract theory of Gromov-Witten invariants of genus 0 for quantum minimal Fano varieties (a minimal natural (with respect to Gromov-Witten theory) class of varieties). In particular, we consider ``the minimal Gromov-Witten…

Let $X$ be a compact toric K\"ahler manifold with $-K_X$ nef. Let $L\subset X$ be a regular fiber of the moment map of the Hamiltonian torus action on $X$. Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono defined open Gromov-Witten (GW) invariants of $X$ as virtual…

We study the space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants can be extended to the class of semi-positive manifolds with convex boundary. This…

In this paper, we define genus-zero relative Gromov--Witten invariants with negative contact orders. Using this, we construct relative quantum cohomology rings and Givental formalism. A version of Virasoro constraints also follows from it.

We define a wall-crossing morphism for Khovanov-Rozansky homology; that is, a map between the KR homology of knots related by a crossing change. Using this map, we extend KR homology to an invariant of singular knots categorifying the…

We construct an open enumerative theory for the Landau-Ginzburg (LG) model $(\mathbb{C}^2, \mu_r\times \mu_s, x^r+y^s)$. The invariants are defined as integrals of multisections of a Witten bundle with descendents over a moduli space that…

This paper studies rotational virtual knot theory and its relationship with quantum link invariants. Every quantum link invariant for classical knots and links extends to an invariant of rotational virtual knots and links. The paper sets up…

The quantum differential equations can be regarded as examples of equations with certain universal properties which are of wider interest beyond quantum cohomology itself. We present this point of view as part of a framework which…

Polyfold theory, as developed by Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, is a relatively new approach to resolving transversality issues that arise in the study of $J$-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. This approach has recently led to a…

For a target variety $X$ and a nodal curve $C$, we introduce a one-parameter stability condition, termed $\epsilon$-admissibility, for maps from nodal curves to $X\times C$. If $X$ is a point, $\epsilon$-admissibility interpolates between…
