Abstract
Geometric invariant theory (GIT) is a recipe for taking a quotient of a vector space by a linear action of a reductive group. The quotient also depends on a character of the group, though different characters will yield birational schemes (or stacks). I will explain one way to relate the Gromov-Witten theory of birational targets that arise in this fashion—-at least, I will explain one such example, namely the Grassmannian flop. This work is joint with Wendelin Lutz and Qaasim Shafi.
