In this paper we study vector fields on the big phase space of Gromov-Witten theory which are idempotents of the quantum product. Such vector fields can be used to simplify universal equations for higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants.
For smooth complete intersections in the projective spaces, we use the deformation invariance of Gromov-Witten invariants and results in classical invariant theory to study the symmetric reduction of the WDVV equation by the monodromy…
We conjecture a formula for the generating function of genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of the local Calabi-Yau manifolds which are the total spaces of splitting bundles over projective spaces. We prove this conjecture in several special…
We give two proofs of a conjecture of Hori and Vafa which expresses the J-function (i.e, the generating function for 1-point descendant Gromov-Witten invariants) of a Grassmannian in terms of the J-function of a product of projective…
This is the first part of a series of papers on {\it Virasoro constraints for Cohomological Field Theory (CohFT)}. For a CohFT with vacuum, we introduce the concepts of $S$-calibration and $\nu$-calibration. Then, we define the (formal)…
Given a vector bundle $F$ on a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack $\X$ and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class $\bc$, we define the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\X$ twisted by $F$ and $\bc$. We prove a "quantum Riemann-Roch…
We generalize the First Reconstruction Theorem of Kontsevich and Manin in two respects. First, we allow the target space to be a Deligne-Mumford stack. Second, under some convergence assumptions, we show it suffices to check the hypothesis…
This is the second paper in a series on {\it Virasoro constraints for Cohomological Field Theory}. We derive the ancestor Virasoro constraints for the topological recursion (TR) for an arbitrary spectral curve and establish the descendent…
Cohomological genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants of a given target space can be encoded by the "descendant potential," a generating function defined on the space of power series in one variable with coefficients in the cohomology space of the…
In enumerative geometry, Virasoro constraints were first conjectured in Gromov-Witten theory with many new recent developments in the sheaf theoretic context. In this paper, we rephrase the sheaf-theoretic Virasoro constraints in terms of…
In this paper, we show that the generating function for linear Hodge integrals over moduli spaces of stable maps to a nonsingular projective variety $X$ can be connected to the generating function for Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$ by a…
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 completely characterize genus-0 K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of a compact complex algebraic manifold in terms of cohomological Gromov-Witten invariants of this manifold. This is done by applying (a virtual version of) the…
A new codimension 2 relation among descendent strata in the moduli space of stable, 3-pointed, genus 2 curves is found. The space of pointed admissible double covers is used in the calculation. The resulting differential equations satisfied…
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…
We derive a closed formula for the generating function of genus two Gromov-Witten invariants of quintic 3-folds and verify the corresponding mirror symmetry conjecture of Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa.
The WDVV equation is satisfied by the genus 0 correlation functions of any topological field theory in two dimensions coupled to topological gravity, and may be used to determine the genus 0 (rational) Gromov-Witten invariants of many…
We generalize the author's formula for Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic toric manifolds (see math.AG/0006156) to those needed to compute the quantum product of more than two classes directly, i.e. involving the pull-back of the…
In his paper "Hodge integrals and degenerate contributions", Pandharipande studied the relationship between the enumerative geometry of certain 3-folds and the Gromov-Witten invariants. In some good cases, enumerative invariants (which are…
We show that the Virasoro conjecture in Gromov--Witten theory holds for the the total space of a toric bundle $E \to B$ if and only if it holds for the base $B$. The main steps are: (i) we establish a localization formula that expresses…
