We reproduce the quantum cohomology of toric varieties (and of some hypersurfaces in projective spaces) as the cohomology of certain vertex algebras with differential. The deformation technique allows us to compute the cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex over the projective space.
We investigate the equivariant intersection cohomology of a toric variety. Considering the defining fan of the variety as a finite topological space with the subfans being the open sets (that corresponds to the toric topology given by the invariant o
We show that the infinitesimal deformations of the Brill--Noether locus $W_d$ attached to a smooth non-hyperelliptic curve $C$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the deformations of $C$. As an application, we prove that if a Jacobian $J$ deforms t
We give a complete description of the equivariant quantum cohomology ring of any smooth hypertoric variety, and find a mirror formula for the quantum differential equation.
We study the proalgebraic space which is the inverse limit of all finite branched covers over a normal toric variety $X$ with branching set the invariant divisor under the action of $(mathbb{C}^*)^n$. This is the proalgebraic toric-completion $X_{mat
This is an expository lecture, for the Abel bicentennial (Oslo, 2002), describing some recent work on the (small) quantum cohomology ring of Grassmannians and other homogeneous varieties.
