Abstract
I’ll explain how, for singular hypersurfaces, a version of their genus-zero Gromov-Witten theory may be described in terms of a direct limit of fixed point Floer cohomology groups. This construction is easy to define and very amenable to computation. As an illustration, I’ll talk about joint work with Yuan Yao and Ziwen Zhao, where we calculate the full ring structure on this direct limit in the case of Dehn twists on curves, giving a direct proof of closed-string mirror symmetry for nodal curves. These calculations involve contributions from counts of many non-trivial holomorphic curves; since curves of genus gā„1 contain no non-constant rational curves, these types of enumerative invariants are not possible to obtain using classical curve-counting methods. To finish, I’ll discuss our ongoing project studying enumerative geometry and mirror symmetry for mirror pairs of singular K3 surfaces.
