Quantum Barnes function as the partition function of the resolved conifold.
We give an expository account of a conjecture, developed by Coates–Iritani–Tseng and Ruan, which relates the quantum cohomology of a Gorenstein orbifold to the quantum cohomology of a crepant resolution of . We explore some consequences of this conjecture, showing that it implies versions of both the Cohomological Crepant Resolution Conjecture and of the Crepant Resolution Conjectures of Ruan and Bryan–Graber. We also give a ‘quantized’ version of the conjecture, which determines higher-genus...
In a previous paper, the author introduced an integral structure in quantum cohomology defined by the -theory and the Gamma class and showed that it is compatible with mirror symmetry for toric orbifolds. Applying the quantum Lefschetz principle to the previous results, we find an explicit relationship between solutions to the quantum differential equation of toric complete intersections and the periods (or oscillatory integrals) of their mirrors. We describe in detail the mirror isomorphism of...
We give a review of our construction of a cohomological field theory for quasi-homogeneous singularities and the -spin theory of Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob. We further prove that for a singularity of type our construction of the stack of -curves is canonically isomorphic to the stack of -spin curves described by Abramovich and Jarvis. We further prove that our theory satisfies all the Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob axioms for an -spin virtual class. Therefore, the Faber-Shadrin-Zvonkine proof of the...
We classify quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over the projective line via numerical invariants, giving explicit examples for small values of the invariants. For generic such fibrations, we describe explicitly the geometry of spaces of sections to the fibration, and mappings to the intermediate Jacobian of the total space. We exhibit examples where these are birational, which has applications to arithmetic questions, especially over finite fields.
This paper investigates hyperbolic polynomials with quasianalytic coefficients. Our main purpose is to prove factorization theorems for such polynomials, and next to generalize the results of K. Kurdyka and L. Paunescu about perturbation of analytic families of symmetric matrices to the quasianalytic setting.
We prove that the Segre-Gimigliano-Harbourne-Hirschowitz conjecture holds for quasi-homogeneous linear systems on ℙ² for m = 7, 8, 9, 10, i.e. systems of curves of a given degree passing through points in general position with multiplicities at least m,...,m,m₀, where m = 7, 8, 9, 10, m₀ is arbitrary.
