Title	Gromov-Witten theory of elliptic orbifold $P^1$'s and quasi-modular forms
Speaker, Affiliation	Yongbin Ruan,
Date, Time	19 July 2010, 15:15-17:00
Location	HG G 43
Abstract	In certain very special situations, Gromov-Witten theory has a beautiful answer. A well-known example is the Witten-Kontsevich theorem that the GW-theory of a point is the tau-function of the KdV hierarch. An equally beautiful result is Okounkov-Pandharipande's theorem that the GW-theory of an elliptic curve is a quasi-modular form. In this talk, we provide three additional examples obtained as finite quotients of elliptic curves. Geometrically, they are orbifold $P^1$'s with three orbifold points of weights $(3,3,3), (2,4,4), (2,3,6)$. The idea to prove modularity is via the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence. A key step of our argument was inspired by the famous holomorphic anomaly equation in physics. This is a joint work with Todor Milanov.
