We describe a formalism based on quantization of quadratic hamiltonians and symplectic actions of loop groups which provides a convenient home for most of known general results and conjectures about Gromov-Witten invariants of compact…

We give a proof of Alexandrov's conjecture on a formula connecting the Kontsevich-Witten and Hodge tau-functions using only the Virasoro operators. This formula has been confirmed up to an unknown constant factor. In this paper, we show…

We prove a closed formula for integrals of the cotangent line classes against the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of stable pointed curves. These integrals are computed via relations obtained from virtual…

We propose a geometric and categorical approach to the Hodge Conjecture for all smooth projective complex varieties. By embedding any such variety into a flat family with general fibers smooth complete intersections, we prove the conjecture…

We extend the definition of relative Gromov--Witten invariants with negative contact orders to all genera. Then we show that relative Gromov--Witten theory forms a partial CohFT. Some cycle relations on the moduli space of stable maps are…

We provide an upper bound for the genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants of projective space relative to its toric boundary. The upper bound is polynomial in the contact orders, with degree depending on the number of marked points.…

We give an overview of recent developments around a characteristic class version of the Hodge index theorem for singular complex algebraic varieties. This was formulated by Brasselet-Schuermann-Yokura as a conjecture expressing the…

We obtain mirror formulas for the genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of projective Calabi-Yau complete intersections. We follow the approach previously used for projective hypersurfaces by extending the scope of its algebraic results; there…

This article accompanies my ICM talk in August 2002. Three conjectural directions in Gromov-Witten theory are discussed: Gorenstein properties, BPS states, and Virasoro constraints. Each points to basic structures in the subject which are…

The orientability problem in real Gromov-Witten theory is one of the fundamental hurdles to enumerating real curves. In this paper, we describe topological conditions on the target manifold which ensure that the uncompactified moduli spaces…

In this paper, we give a simple formula for the generating function of genus-2 Gromov-Witten invariants for manifolds with semisimple quantum cohomology, and use this formula to prove the genus-2 Virasoro conjecture for such manifolds.

Let X be a smooth projective variety. The Gromov-Witten potentials of X are generating functions for the Gromov-Witten invariants of X: they are formal power series, sometimes in infinitely many variables, with Taylor coefficients given by…

We review a combinatoric approach to the Hodge Conjecture for Fermat Varieties and announce new cases where the conjecture is true.

Continuum Virasoro constraints in the two-cut hermitian matrix models are derived from the discrete Ward identities by means of the mapping from the $GL(\infty )$ Toda hierarchy to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) hierarchy. The invariance…

We obtain examples of smooth projective varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ that violate the integral Hodge conjecture and for which the total Chow group is of finite rank. Moreover, we show that there exist such examples defined over number…

A projected Gromov-Witten variety is the union of all rational curves of fixed degree that meet two opposite Schubert varieties in a homogeneous space X = G/P. When X is cominuscule we prove that the map from a related Gromov-Witten variety…

A conjecture of Aganagic and Vafa relates the open Gromov-Witten theory of $X=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{1}}(-1,-1)$ to the augmentation polynomial of Legendrian contact homology. We describe how to use this conjecture to compute genus zero,…

For a smooth projective curve, we derive a closed formula for the generating series of its Gromov--Witten invariants in genus $g$ and degree zero. It is known that the calculation of these invariants can be reduced to that of the…

We prove the existence of good smooth integral models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type in arbitrary unramified mixed characteristic $(0,p)$. As a first application we provide a smooth solution (answer) to a conjecture (question) of…

For smooth projective G-varieties, we equate the gauged Gromov-Witten invariants for sufficiently small area and genus zero with the invariant part of equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants. As an application we deduce a gauged version of…
