We show that the elliptic genus of the higher rank E-strings can be computed based solely on the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the corresponding elliptic geometry. To set up our computation, we study the structure of the topological…
We prove the finite generation conjecture of arXiv:hep-th/0406078 for the Gromov-Witten potentials of the Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces $Z_6 \subset \mathbb{P}(1,1,1,1,2)$, $Z_8 \subset \mathbb{P}(1,1,1,1,4)$, and $Z_{10} \subset…
In light of recent attempts to extend the Cieliebak-Mohnke approach for constructing Gromov-Witten invariants to positive genera, we compare the absolute and relative Gromov-Witten invariants of compact symplectic manifolds when the…
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.…
We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on prime Fano threefolds of index 1. For general threefolds of most genera we compute the dimension and the number of irreducible components of these moduli spaces. Our results confirm Geometric…
Let X be a Gorenstein orbifold and let Y be a crepant resolution of X. We state a conjecture relating the genus-zero Gromov--Witten invariants of X to those of Y, which differs in general from the Crepant Resolution Conjectures of Ruan and…
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…
An effective algorithm of determining Gromov--Witten invariants of smooth hypersurfaces in any genus (subject to a degree bound) from Gromov--Witten invariants of the ambient space is proposed. The Appendix is joint with E. Schulte-Geers.
In their fundamental work, B. Dubrovin and Y. Zhang, generalizing the Virasoro equations for the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants, proved the Virasoro equations for a descendent potential in genus 0 of an arbitrary conformal Frobenius…
Combining geometric group theory techniques with geometric topology tools, we show how primitive cohomologies provide useful insights towards unifying the mathematical formulation of Gromov-Witten invariants. In particular, we emphasise the…
We prove a $q$-refined tropical correspondence theorem for higher genus descendant logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants with a $\lambda_g$ class in toric surfaces. Specifically, a generating series of such logarithmic Gromov--Witten…
We study orbifold Gromov--Witten invariants of the $r$-th root stack $X_{D,r}$ with a pair of mid-ages when $r$ is sufficiently large. We prove that genus $g$ invariants with a pair of mid-ages $k_a/r$ and $1-k_a/r$ are polynomials in $k_a$…
The aim of Part II is to explore the technique of invariance of tautological equations in the realm of Gromov--Witten theory. The main result is a proof of Invariance Theorem (Invariance Conjecture~1 in [14]), via the techniques from…
We give a proof of Pixton's generalized Faber-Zagier relations in the tautological Chow ring of $\overline M_{g,n}$. The strategy is very similar to the work of Pandharipande-Pixton-Zvonkine, who have given a proof of the same result in…
The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…
Using new explicit formulas for the stationary GW/PT descendent correspondence for nonsingular projective toric 3-folds, we show that the correspondence intertwines the Virasoro constraints in Gromov-Witten theory for stable maps with the…
For $X$ a smooth projective variety and $D=D_1+\ldots+D_n$ a simple normal crossings divisor, we establish a precise cycle-level correspondence between the genus zero local Gromov-Witten theory of the bundle $\oplus_{i=1}^n…
We prove genus $g$ invariants in quantum $K$-theory are determined by genus zero invariants of a smooth stack in the spirit of K.~Costello's result in Gromov--Witten theory.
We compute section class relative equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the total space of P^2-bundles of the form P(O+L1+L2)-->C where C is a genus g curve, O is the trivial bundle, and L1 (resp. L2) is an arbitrary line bundle of degree…
We give two recursions for computing top intersections of tautological classes on blowups of moduli spaces of genus-one curves. One of these recursions is analogous to the well-known string equation. As shown in previous papers, these…
