Description
The main topics will be the intersection theory of tautological classes on moduli space of curves, the enumeration of stable maps via Gromov-Witten theory, and the enumeration of sheaves via Donaldson-Thomas theory. I will cover a mix of classical and modern results. My goal will be, by the end, to explain recent progress on the Virasoro constraints on the sheaf side.
