In this paper we investigate the tau-functions for the stationary sector of Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line and its version, relative to one point. In particular, we construct the integral representation for the points…

Hurwitz numbers with completed cycles are standard Hurwitz numbers with simple branch points replaced by completed cycles. In fact, simple branch points correspond to completed $2$-cycles. Okounkov and Pandharipande have established the…

Orbifold and logarithmic structures provide independent routes to the virtual enumeration of curves with tangency orders for a simple normal crossings pair $(X|D)$. The theories do not coincide and their relationship has remained…

Gromov-Witten (GW) theory produces Chow and cohomology classes on the moduli of curves, and there are several conjectures/speculations about their relation to the tautological ring. We develop new degeneration techniques to address these.…

Basepoint free cycles on the moduli space $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ of stable n-pointed rational curves, defined using Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth projective homogeneous spaces X are studied. Intersection formulas to find classes are…

In the Gromov-Witten theory of a target curve we consider descendent integrals against the virtual fundamental class relative to the forgetful morphism to the moduli space of curves. We show that cohomology classes obtained in this way lie…

We express all equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the projective line as matrix elements of explicit operators acting in the Fock space. As a consequence, we prove the equivariant theory is governed by the 2-Toda hierarchy of Ueno and…

We prove that the cycle-valued logarithmic Gromov--Witten theory of a product of simple normal crossings pairs $X\times Y$ decomposes into a product of pieces coming from $X$ and $Y$, provided that the decomposition is considered over a…

We prove that the Gromov--Witten theory (GWT) of a projective bundle can be determined by the Chern classes and the GWT of the base. It completely answers a question raised in a previous paper (arXiv:1607.00740). Its consequences include…

We provide an inductive algorithm computing Gromov-Witten invariants in all genera with arbitrary insertions of all smooth complete intersections in projective space. We also prove that all Gromov-Witten classes of all smooth complete…

In math.AG/0207233, Okounkov and Pandharipande gave an operator formalism for computing the equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of the projective line. This thesis extends their result to orbifold lines. In the effective case the theory is…

We represent stationary descendant Gromov-Witten invariants of projective space, up to explicit combinatorial factors, by polynomials. One application gives the asymptotic behaviour of large degree behaviour of stationary descendant…

We compute, with Symplectic Field Theory techniques, the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line with orbifold points. A natural subclass of these orbifolds, the ones with polynomial quantum cohomology, gives rise to a family of…

The mirror theorem is generalized to any smooth projective variety X. That is, a fundamental relation between the Gromov-Witten invariants of X and Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections Y in X is established.

Hurwitz numbers, which count certain covers of the projective line (or, equivalently, factorizations of permuations into transpositions), have been extensively studied for over a century. The Gromov-Witten potential F of a point, the…

We introduce a geometric completion of the stack of maps from stable marked curves to the quotient stack [point/GL(1)], and use it to construct some gauge-theoretic analogues of the Gromov-Witten invariants. We also indicate the…

The moduli space of stable relative maps to the projective line combines features of stable maps and admissible covers. We prove all standard Gromov-Witten classes on these moduli spaces of stable relative maps have tautological…

Moduli spaces of admissible covers and stable maps of target curves give rise to cycles on $\overline{M}_{g,n}$. We prove a formula relating these cycles. It recovers both the Ekedahl-Lando-Shapiro-Vainshtein formula and the…

We construct the quantum double ramification hierarchy associated with the Gromov-Witten theory of elliptic curves. We use results of Oberdieck and Pixton on the intersection numbers of the double ramification cycle, the Gromov-Witten…

We discuss the open/closed version of the Gromov-Witten/Hurwitz correspondence. The duality equates the relative Gromov-Witten invariants and the count of covers of the target space with prescribed holonomies at boundaries. We clarify the…
