Three questions in Gromov-Witten theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Three conjectural directions in Gromov-Witten theory are discussed: Gorenstein properties, BPS states, and Virasoro constraints. Each points to basic structures in the subject which are not yet understood. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14N35, 14H10 .

Givental’s Lagrangian Cone and S-equivariant Gromov–witten Theory
In the approach to Gromov–Witten theory developed by Givental, genus-zero Gromov–Witten invariants of a manifold X are encoded by a Lagrangian cone in a certain infinite-dimensional symplectic vector space. We give a construction of this cone, in the spirit of S-equivariant Floer theory, in terms of S-equivariant Gromov–Witten theory of X × P. This gives a conceptual understanding of the “dilat...
متن کاملGromov-witten Theory Learning Seminar
Today, Jonathan spoke, delivering an overview of Gromov-Witten theory and how associativity of quantum cohomology leads to applications in enumerative geometry. Today we always work over C, and follow Fulton-Pandharipande’s notes [FP96]. Classically, if X is a nonsingular projective variety and β ∈ H2(X;Z), we want to know how many algebraic curves in X represent the class β. This relates to ve...
متن کاملOpen Gromov-Witten Invariants from the Augmentation Polynomial
A conjecture of Aganagic and Vafa relates the open Gromov-Witten theory of X = OP1(−1,−1) to the augmentation polynomial of Legendrian contact homology. We describe how to use this conjecture to compute genus zero, one boundary component open Gromov-Witten invariants for Lagrangian submanifolds LK ⊂ X obtained from the conormal bundles of knots K ⊂ S3. This computation is then performed for two...

We make a precise mathematical statement of the conjecture that Gromov-Witten theory on an orbifold should be equivalent to Gromov-Witten theory on a crepant resolution (should one exist.) We prove the conjecture for the equivariant Gromov-Witten theories of Symn C and Hilbn C.
متن کاملOn Gromov-witten Theory of Root Gerbes
This research announcement discusses our results on Gromov-Witten theory of root gerbes. A complete calculation of genus 0 Gromov-Witten theory of μr-root gerbes over a smooth base scheme is obtained by a direct analysis of virtual fundamental classes. Our result verifies the genus 0 part of the so-called decomposition conjecture which compares Gromov-Witten theory of étale gerbes with that of ...
