Gromov-Witten theory for target curves
 

Abstract

Gromov-Witten theory concerns integrals over the moduli space of maps from Riemann surfaces to target varieties X.  I will present a complete description of the theory for 1-dimensional targets with connections to representation theory and integrable hierarchies. The talk represents joint
work with A. Okounkov.
