abstract

We establish an explicit equivalence between the stationary sector of the Gromov-Witten theory of a target curve X and the enumeration of Hurwitz coverings of X in the basis of completed cycles. The stationary sector is formed, by definition, by the descendents of the point class. Completed cycles arise naturally in the theory of shifted symmetric functions. Using this equivalence, we give a complete description of the stationary Gromov-Witten theory of the projective line and elliptic curve. Toda equations for the relative stationary theory of the projective line are derived.

Equivariant Interpolations in Topological Holography

hep-th · 2026-06-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Proposes solvable interpolations between small and large equivariant parameter regimes in Gromov-Witten theory on P1 as analogue for AdS3/CFT2 transitions, plus string theory embedding of P1 x C2 correspondence and Jack polynomial analysis of scaling limit.
