Counting curves on Hirzebruch surfaces: tropical geometry and the Fock space
Counting curves on Hirzebruch surfaces: tropical geometry and the Fock space
We study the stationary descendant Gromov–Witten theory of toric surfaces by combining and extending a range of techniques – tropical curves, floor diagrams and Fock spaces. A correspondence theorem is established between tropical curves and descendant invariants on toric surfaces using maximal toric degenerations. An intermediate degeneration is then shown …
