Title: Gromov-Witten theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds
Date (JST): Tue, Jun 17, 2025, 13:30 - 15:00
Place: Seminar Room A
Abstract: I will discuss some guiding conjectures in the Gromov-Witten theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds coming from physics which determine all genus g GW invariants from lower genus invariants and a finite ambiguity. Then, I will describe an approach to proving some of these conjectures for complete intersections in toric Fano orbifolds and explain some results in the one-parameter case.
