The aim of this paper is to prove Golyshev's conjecture in the cases of Fano threefolds $V_{10}$ and $V_{14}$. This conjecture states modularity of D3 equations for smooth Fano threefolds with Picard group Z. More precisely, we find…
Covariant first order differential calculus over quantum complex Grassmann manifolds is considered. It is shown by a Pusz-Woronowicz type argument that under restriction to calculi close to classical Kaehler differentials there exist…

We study the algebra of Wilson line operators in three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric U(M) gauge theories with a Higgs phase related to a complex Grassmannian Gr(M,N), and its connection to K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants for Gr(M,N).…
We revisit the 3d GLSM computation of the equivariant quantum K-theory ring of the complex Grassmannian from the perspective of line defects. The 3d GLSM onto $X={\rm Gr}(N_c, n_f)$ is a circle compactification of the 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$…
By studying Rozansky-Witten theory with non-compact target spaces we find new connections with knot invariants whose physical interpretation was not known. This opens up several new avenues, which include a new formulation of $q$-series…
This is an expanded version of the lectures given at the Trieste Summer School 1992 on Low-dimensional Quantum Field Theories for Condensed Matter Physicists.
For any finite group $G$, the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^r/G]$ can be viewed as a certain twisted Gromov-Witten invariants of the classifying stack $\mathcal{B} G$. In this paper, we use Tseng's orbifold quantum…
Extending results of Wyser, we determine formulas for the equivariant cohomology classes of closed orbits of certain families of spherical subgroups of $GL_n$ on the flag variety $GL_n/B$. Putting this together with a slight extension of…
We compute the Gromov-Witten potential at all genera of target smooth Riemann surfaces using Symplectic Field Theory techniques and establish differential equations for the full descendant potential. This amounts to impose (and possibly…
The quantum cohomology of Grassmannians exhibits two symmetries related to the quantum product, namely a \Bbb {Z}/n action and an involution related to complex conjugation. We construct a new ring by dividing out these symmetries in an…

The first part of this work constructs real positive-genus Gromov-Witten invariants of real-orientable symplectic manifolds of odd "complex" dimensions; the second part studies the orientations on the moduli spaces of real maps used in…
This brief article gives an alternative interpretation, based on a theorem of Berkovich, of the Eisenstein classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties, used in forthcoming work of the author with K. W. Lan, R. Taylor, and J. Thorne.
We prove a `Whitney' presentation, and a `Coulomb branch' presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation…
In this paper, we propose another characterization of the generalized mirror transformation on the quantum cohomology rings of general type projective hypersurfaces. This characterics is useful for explicit determination of the form of the…
Let X be a symplectic or odd orthogonal Grassmannian which parametrizes isotropic subspaces in a vector space equipped with a nondegenerate (skew) symmetric form. We prove quantum Giambelli formulas which express an arbitrary Schubert class…
We study equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum cohomology in GKM theory. Building on the localization formula, we prove that the resulting expression is independent of the choice of compatible connection, and provide an…
