Membranes and Maps

Alessandro Giacchetto, Rahul Pandharipande, Yannik Schuler

In positive degree, equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau fivefolds are expected to admit an interpretation in terms of M2-branes, while we conjecture that constant ma…

Moduli of curves and moduli of sheaves

Rahul Pandharipande

Relationships between moduli spaces of curves and sheaves on 3-folds are presented starting with the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence proposed more than 20 years ago w…

Cohomological field theories with non-tautological classes

R. Pandharipande, D. Zvonkine

A method of constructing Cohomological Field Theories (CohFTs) with unit using minimal classes on the moduli spaces of curves is developed. As a simple consequence, CohFTs with uni…

Tautological relations via r-spin structures

R. Pandharipande, A. Pixton, D. Zvonkine

Relations among tautological classes on the moduli space of stable curves are obtained via the study of Witten's r-spin theory for higher r. In order to calculate the quantum produ…

The hypergeometric functions of the Faber-Zagier and Pixton relations

A. Buryak, F. Janda, R. Pandharipande

The relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space M_g of nonsingular curves conjectured by Faber-Zagier in 2000 and extended to the moduli space of stable pointed curves b…

Relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves

R. Pandharipande, A. Pixton

The virtual geometry of the moduli space of stable quotients is used to obtain Chow relations among the kappa classes on the moduli space of nonsingular genus g curves. In a series…
