The geodesic length spectrum of a complete, finite volume, hyperbolic 3-orbifold M is a fundamental invariant of the topology of M via Mostow-Prasad Rigidity. Motivated by this, the second author and Reid defined a two-dimensional analogue…
The present paper describes a relation between the quotient of the fundamental group of a smooth quasi-projective variety by its second commutator and the existence of maps to orbifold curves. It extends previously studied cases when the…
We use techniques from Gromov-Witten theory to construct new invariants of matroids taking value in the Chow groups of spaces of rational curves in the permutohedral toric variety. When the matroid is realizable by a complex hyperplane…
Degenerate contributions to higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are computed via Hodge integrals. The vanishing of contributions of covers of elliptic curves conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa is proven. A formula for…
Let $(X,E)$ be a smooth log Calabi-Yau pair consisting of a smooth Fano surface $X$ and a smooth anticanonical divisor $E$. We obtain certain higher genus local Gromov-Witten invariants from the projectivization of the canonical bundle $Z…
These brief notes record our puzzles and findings surrounding Givental's recent conjecture which expresses higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants in terms of the genus-0 data. We limit our considerations to the case of a projective line,…
By introducing the notion of distributive constant for a family of closed subschemes, we establish a general form of the second main theorem for algebraic nondegenerate meromorphic mappings from a generalized $p$-Parabolic manifold into a…
This expository article is an introduction to logarithmic Gromov--Witten (GW) theory. We discuss how to study the GW theory of a smooth projective variety via simple normal crossings degenerations. We survey several approaches to…
In this paper, an Askey-Wilson version of the Wronskian-Casorati determinant $\mathcal{W}(f_{0}, \dots, f_{n})(x)$ for meromorphic functions $f_{0}, \dots, f_{n}$ is introduced to establish an Askey-Wilson version of the general form of the…
We study connections between the topology of generic character varieties of fundamental groups of punctured Riemann surfaces, Macdonald polynomials, quiver representations, Hilbert schemes on surfaces, modular forms and multiplicities in…
We compute, by two methods, the genus one degree zero orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants with non-stacky insertions which are exceptional cases of the dilaton and divisor equations. One method involves a detailed analysis of the relevant…
We describe algorithms based on invariant theory to solve problems on the geometry of curves, mainly those of genus 2, 3 and 4. New theoretical results building on the first author's PhD thesis are also included.
We establish a product formula for Gromov-Witten invariants for closed, connected, relatively semi-positive Hamiltonian fibrations over any symplectic base. Furthermore, we show that the fibration projection induces a locally trivial…
We give an explicit verifiable characterization of weakly pseudoconvex but locally nonconvexifiable hypersurfaces of finite type in dimension two. It is expressed in terms of a generalized model, which captures local geometry of the…
We show that it is possible to define the contribution of degree one covers of a disk to open Gromov-Witten invariants. We build explicit sections of obstruction bundles in order to extend the algebro-geometric techniques of Pandharipande…
We investigate the geometry of smooth hyperelliptic curves that possess additional involutions, especially from the point of view of the Prym theory. Our main result is the injectivity of the Prym map for hyperelliptic…
The purpose of this paper has twofold. The first is to establish a second main theorem with truncated counting functions for algebraically nondegenerate meromorphic mappings into an arbitrary projective variety intersecting a family of…
We outline a strategy for computing intersection numbers on smooth varieties with torus actions using a residue formula of Bott. As an example, Gromov-Witten numbers of twisted cubic and elliptic quartic curves on some general complete…
We establish new universal equations for higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of target manifolds, by studying both the Chern character and Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of curves. As a consequence, we find new…
We give a graph-sum algorithm that expresses any genus-$g$ Gromov-Witten invariant of the symmetric product orbifold $\mathrm{Sym}^d\mathbb{P}^r:=[(\mathbb{P}^r)^d/S_d]$ in terms of "Hurwitz-Hodge integrals" -- integrals over (compactified)…
