Counting Maps to Hypersurfaces in Grassmannians
Shubham Sinha, Department of Mathematics, ICTP,

In this talk, I will describe how to evaluate the virtual count of maps from a fixed-domain smooth curve to a hypersurface in a Grassmannian. We use the Quot scheme to compactify the space of maps and perform a virtual intersection-theoretic calculation. I will also discuss the conditions under which the virtual count is enumerative. This talk is based on joint work with Alina Marian.
