Introduction to Gromov-Witten Invariants (I): Basic definitions

Speaker: Giosuè Muratore, CMAFcIO, Universidade de Lisboa.
Abstract:
The goal of this crash course is to introduce the basic notions of moduli space of stable maps and Gromov-Witten invariants. In particular when the stable maps have rational domain and the target is a projective space.
The course is split in 4 main parts. We will cover the following topics.
(1) Basic definitions.
(2) The case of genus 0: boundary divisors and examples.
(3) Gromov-Witten invariants.
(4) Quantum cohomology.
Organised by Carlos Florentino.

We can't even see the board. Who's idea was this? Ask a student to tex it up in beamer and make it into a presentation. How hard is that?
