Enumerative geometry of surfaces
arXiv:2603.11136
Abstract
The aim of these notes is to explain various enumerative results about surfaces without assuming familiarity with Gromov--Witten theory. The enumerative results in question are due to Beauville, Bryan and Leung, Pandharipande, Maulik, Thomas, and others, and confirm conjectures made by Yau--Zaslow, Göttsche, and Katz--Klemm--Vafa.
