A great number of theoretical results are known about log Gromov-Witten invariants, but few calculations are worked out. In this paper we restrict to surfaces and to genus 0 stable log maps of maximal tangency. We ask how various natural…

We give an introduction to moduli stacks of gauged maps satisfying a stability conditition introduced by Mundet and Schmitt, and the associated integrals giving rise to gauged Gromov-Witten invariants. We survey various applications to…

Let X be a smooth projective Deligne-Mumford stack over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. In this paper we construct the moduli stack of very twisted stable maps, extending the notion of twisted stable maps by Abramovich…

We provide a graph formula which describes an arbitrary monomial in {\omega} classes (also referred to as stable {\psi} classes) in terms of a simple family of dual graphs (pinwheel graphs) with edges decorated by rational functions in…

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…

We characterize transversality, non-transversality properties on the moduli space of genus 0 stable maps to a rational projective surface. If a target space is equipped with a real structure, i.e, anti-holomorphic involution, then the…

For a symplectic manifold with an anti-symplectic involution having non-empty fixed locus, we construct a model of the moduli space of real sphere maps out of moduli spaces of decorated disk maps and give an explicit expression for its…

Goulden, Jackson and Vakil observed a polynomial structure underlying one-part double Hurwitz numbers, which enumerate branched covers of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with prescribed ramification profile over $\infty$, a unique preimage over 0, and…

We explain how to compute top-dimensional intersections of psi-classes on moduli spaces of m-stable curves. On the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable pointed curves of genus one, these intersection numbers are determined by two…

We study moduli spaces of logarithmic stable maps to proper toric surfaces with prescribed tangency conditions to the toric boundary. Fixing a surface, we define a chamber decomposition on the space of all tangencies such that as a function…

We find a set of generators and relations for the system of extended tautological rings associated to the moduli spaces of stable maps in genus zero, admitting a simple geometrical interpretation. In particular, when the target is $\PP^n$,…

We discover that tautological intersection numbers on $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g, n}$, the moduli space of stable genus $g$ curves with $n$ marked points, are evaluations of Ehrhart polynomials of partial polytopal complexes. In order to prove…

Moduli spaces of compact stable $n$-pointed curves carry a hierarchy of cohomology classes of top dimension which generalize the Weil-Petersson volume forms and constitute a version of Mumford classes. We give various new formulas for the…

The Pixton class is a nonhomogeneous cohomology class on the moduli space of stable curves $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, with nontrivial terms in degree $0,2,4,\ldots,2g$, whose top degree part coincides with the double ramification…

Hassett spaces are moduli spaces of weighted stable pointed curves. In this work, we consider such spaces of curves of genus $0$ with weights all $\frac{1}{2}$. These spaces are interesting as they are isomorphic to $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ but…

The notion of a quantum tau-function for a natural quantization of the KdV hierarchy was introduced in a work of Dubrovin, Gu\'er\'e, Rossi, and the second author. A certain natural choice of a quantum tau-function was then described by the…

We study moduli spaces of stable maps from pointed curves, where the points are allowed to coincide, with target a tame Deligne-Mumford stack. This generalizes the Abramovich-Vistoli theory of twisted stable maps as well as work of Hassett,…

In this paper, we deal with stable homology computations with twisted coefficients for mapping class groups of surfaces and of 3-manifolds, automorphism groups of free groups with boundaries and automorphism groups of certain right-angled…

Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbert schemes of points -- can be used to define intersection…

The subalgebra of the tautological ring of the moduli of curves of compact type generated by the kappa classes is studied in all genera. Relations, constructed via the virtual geometry of the moduli of stable quotients, are used to obtain…
