The GW/PT conjectures for toric pairs

Davesh Maulik, Dhruv Ranganathan

We prove the conjectural correspondence between logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and logarithmic Donaldson/Pandharipande-Thomas theory for pairs consisting of a to…

An invitation to the enumerative geometry of degenerations

Dhruv Ranganathan

This expository article is an introduction to logarithmic Gromov--Witten (GW) theory. We discuss how to study the GW theory of a smooth projective variety via simple normal crossin…

Gromov-Witten theory, degenerations, and the tautological ring

Davesh Maulik, Dhruv Ranganathan

Gromov-Witten (GW) theory produces Chow and cohomology classes on the moduli of curves, and there are several conjectures/speculations about their relation to the tautological ring…

Logarithmic Quot spaces, boundedness, and K-tropicalizations

Patrick Kennedy-Hunt, Dhruv Ranganathan

Logarithmic Hilbert and Quot spaces are generalizations of their traditional versions adapted to study pairs and degenerations. The logarithmic Quot spaces of parameterize…

The many faces of a logarithmic scheme

Thibault Poiret, Dhruv Ranganathan

A standard assumption in the study of logarithmic structures is "fineness", but this assumption is not preserved by intersections, fiber products, and more general limits. We expla…

Logarithmic tautological rings of the moduli spaces of curves

Rahul Pandharipande, Dhruv Ranganathan, Johannes Schmitt +1

We define the logarithmic tautological rings of the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable curves (together with a set of additive generators lifting the decorated strata classes…

Combinatorics of Hurwitz degenerations and tropical realizability

Mia Lam, Chi Kin Ng, Dhruv Ranganathan

We investigate the realizability of balanced functions on tropical curves, establishing new sufficient criteria for superabundant functions on genus two curves, analogous to the we…

Logarithmic negative tangency and root stacks

Luca Battistella, Navid Nabijou, Dhruv Ranganathan

We study stable maps to normal crossings pairs with possibly negative tangency orders. There are two independent models: punctured Gromov-Witten theory of pairs and orbifold Gromov…

Logarithmic enumerative geometry for curves and sheaves

Davesh Maulik, Dhruv Ranganathan

We propose a logarithmic enhancement of the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence, with descendants, and study its behavior under simple normal crossings degenerations. The…

Counting tropical curves in : computation & polynomiality properties

Daniel Corey, Hannah Markwig, Dhruv Ranganathan

Counts of curves in with fixed contact order with the toric boundary and satisfying point conditions can be determined with tropical methods by Mik…

Logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and double ramification cycles

Dhruv Ranganathan, Ajith Urundolil Kumaran

We examine the logarithmic Gromov-Witten cycles of a toric variety relative to its full toric boundary. The cycles are expressed as products of double ramification cycles and natur…

Pluricanonical cycles and tropical covers

Renzo Cavalieri, Hannah Markwig, Dhruv Ranganathan

We extract a system of numerical invariants from logarithmic intersection theory on pluricanonical double ramification cycles, and show that these invariants exhibit a number of pr…

Gromov-Witten theory via roots and logarithms

Luca Battistella, Navid Nabijou, Dhruv Ranganathan

Orbifold and logarithmic structures provide independent routes to the virtual enumeration of curves with tangency orders for a simple normal crossings pair . The theories do…

Gromov-Witten theory and invariants of matroids

Dhruv Ranganathan, Jeremy Usatine

We use techniques from Gromov-Witten theory to construct new invariants of matroids taking value in the Chow groups of spaces of rational curves in the permutohedral toric variety.…

A case study of intersections on blowups of the moduli of curves

Sam Molcho, Dhruv Ranganathan

We explain how logarithmic structures select principal components in an intersection of schemes. These manifest in Chow homology and can be understood using strict transforms under…

Logarithmic Donaldson-Thomas theory

Davesh Maulik, Dhruv Ranganathan

Let be a smooth threefold with a simple normal crossings divisor . We construct the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the pair enumerating ideal sheaves on relative to…

A note on the cycle of curves in a product of pairs

Dhruv Ranganathan

We prove that the cycle-valued logarithmic Gromov--Witten theory of a product of simple normal crossings pairs decomposes into a product of pieces coming from and $…

Gromov-Witten theory with maximal contacts

Navid Nabijou, Dhruv Ranganathan

We propose an intersection-theoretic method to reduce questions in genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory to questions in the Gromov-Witten theory of smooth pairs, in the pres…

Curve counting in genus one: elliptic singularities & relative geometry

Luca Battistella, Navid Nabijou, Dhruv Ranganathan

We construct and study the reduced, relative, genus one Gromov--Witten theory of very ample pairs. These invariants form the principal component contribution to relative Gromov--Wi…

Logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory with expansions

Dhruv Ranganathan

We construct relative Gromov--Witten theory with expanded degenerations in the normal crossings setting and establish a degeneration formula for the resulting invariants. Given a s…

Rational curves in the logarithmic multiplicative group

Dhruv Ranganathan, Jonathan Wise

The logarithmic multiplicative group is a proper group object in logarithmic schemes, which morally compactifies the usual multiplicative group. We study the structure of the stack…

Motivic Hilbert zeta functions of curves are rational

Dori Bejleri, Dhruv Ranganathan, Ravi Vakil

The motivic Hilbert zeta function of a variety is the generating function for classes in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of Hilbert schemes of points of the variety. In this pap…
