Abstract We construct and study the theory of relative quasimaps in genus zero, in the spirit of Gathmann. When $X$ is a smooth toric variety and $Y$ is a smooth very ample hypersurface in $X$, we produce a virtual class on the moduli space of relative quasimaps to $(X,Y)$, which we use to define relative quasimap invariants. We obtain a recursion formula which expresses each relative invariant in terms of invariants of lower tangency, and apply this formula to derive a quantum Lefschetz theorem for quasimaps, expressing the restricted quasimap invariants of $Y$ in terms of those of $X$. Finally, we show that the relative $I$-function of Fan–Tseng–You coincides with a natural generating function for relative quasimap invariants, providing mirror-symmetric motivation for the theory.

The Continuum

The generating function that gives rise to the orbifold Euler characteristic of the moduli space of punctured compact Rieman surfaces [Formula: see text], g ≥ 0 is derived explicitly. In the derivation, we show that we do not need to use the three-term recursion relation for the orthogonal polynomials. Also the continuum limit of Penner's connected generating function is considered and is shown to be formally equivalent to the free energy obtained recently by Distler and Vafa which exhibits the logarithmic divergences found for genus zero and one in D = 1 matrix models. Finally, it is shown that the free energy and its s-derivatives are nothing but the continuum limit of a certain generating function introduced by Harer and Zagier in obtaining the true Euler characteristic with any number of punctures,[Formula: see text], s ≥ 0.

We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of four projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi–Yau 3-folds with small Hodge numbers. In particular, the Picard number is 1 and the number of moduli is 5. Furthermore, the fundamental group is nontrivial. We also construct a new family of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero, K2 = 3 and fundamental group of order 16. We show that this family dominates an irreducible component of dimension 4 of the moduli space of the surfaces of general type.

From the recent work of Edidin and Satriano, given a good moduli space morphism between a smooth Artin stack and its good moduli space X, they prove that the Chow cohomology ring of X embeds into the Chow ring of the stack. In the context of toric varieties, this implies that the Chow cohomology ring of any toric variety embeds into the Chow ring of its canonical toric stack. Furthermore, the authors give a conjectural description of the image of this embedding in terms of strong cycles. One consequence of their conjectural description, and an additional conjecture, is that the Chow cohomology ring of any affine toric variety ought to vanish. We prove this result without any assumption on smoothness. Afterwards, we present a series of results related to their conjectural description, and finally, we provide a conjectural toric description of the image of this embedding for complete toric varieties by utilizing Minkowski weights.

Abstract Using the theory of ${\mathbf {FS}} {^\mathrm {op}}$ modules, we study the asymptotic behavior of the homology of ${\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}}$ , the Deligne–Mumford compactification of the moduli space of curves, for $n\gg 0$ . An ${\mathbf {FS}} {^\mathrm {op}}$ module is a contravariant functor from the category of finite sets and surjections to vector spaces. Via copies that glue on marked projective lines, we give the homology of ${\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}}$ the structure of an ${\mathbf {FS}} {^\mathrm {op}}$ module and bound its degree of generation. As a consequence, we prove that the generating function $\sum _{n} \dim (H_i({\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}})) t^n$ is rational, and its denominator has roots in the set $\{1, 1/2, \ldots, 1/p(g,i)\},$ where $p(g,i)$ is a polynomial of order $O(g^2 i^2)$ . We also obtain restrictions on the decomposition of the homology of ${\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}}$ into irreducible $\mathbf {S}_n$ representations.

AbstractIn this note we give a brief review of the construction of a toric variety coming from a genus g ≥ 2 Riemann surface Σg equipped with a trinion, or pair of pants, decomposition. This was outlined by J. Hurtubise and L. C. Jeffrey. A. Tyurin used this construction on a certain collection of trinion decomposed surfaces to produce a variety DMg , the so-called Delzant model of moduli space, for each genus g. We conclude this note with some basic facts about the moment polytopes of the varieties . In particular, we show that the varieties DMg constructed by Tyurin, and claimed to be smooth, are in fact singular for g ≥ 3.

AbstractWe give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack Bμr of a cyclic group by a sequence of rth root constructions on $\overline {M}_{0, n}$. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of μr-eigenspaces of the Hodge bundle, and thus of the obstruction bundle of the genus-zero Gromov–Witten theory of stacks of the form [ℂN/μr]. We deduce linear recursions for genus-zero Gromov–Witten invariants.
