We study the enumerative geometry of rational curves on the Hilbert schemes of points of a K3 surface. Let $S$ be a K3 surface and let $\mathsf{Hilb}^d(S)$ be the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points of $S$. In case of elliptically fibered K3…

The generating functions of stationary descendent Gromov-Witten invariants of an elliptic curve are known to be Fourier expansions of quasimodular forms. When one restricts to the subspace of forms of a fixed weight $k$, there is an…

We prove the multiple cover formula conjecture for abelian surfaces for a large class of insertions, including all stationary invariants. The proof uses the reduced degeneration formula expressing the invariants in terms of the correlated…

The aim of these notes is to explain various enumerative results about $K3$ surfaces without assuming familiarity with Gromov--Witten theory. The enumerative results in question are due to Beauville, Bryan and Leung, Pandharipande, Maulik,…

We develop a theory of \emph{reduced} Gromov-Witten and stable pair invariants of surfaces and their canonical bundles. We show that classical Severi degrees are special cases of these invariants. This proves a special case of the MNOP…

In recent works, [20],[21], descendent integrals on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary were defined. It was conjectured in [20] that the generating function of these integrals satisfies the open KdV equations. In this paper…

We calculate the stable pair theory of a projective surface $S$. For fixed curve class $\beta\in H^2(S)$ the results are entirely topological, depending on $\beta^2$, $\beta.c_1(S)$, $c_1(S)^2$, $c_2(S)$, $b_1(S)$ \emph{and} invariants of…
