Starting with a vertex-weighted pointed graph [Formula: see text], we form the free loop algebra [Formula: see text] defined in Hartglass–Penneys’ article on canonical [Formula: see text]-algebras associated to a planar algebra. Under mild conditions, [Formula: see text] is a non-nuclear simple [Formula: see text]-algebra with unique tracial state. There is a canonical polynomial subalgebra [Formula: see text] together with a Dirac number operator [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a spectral triple. We prove the Haagerup-type bound of Ozawa–Rieffel to verify [Formula: see text] yields a compact quantum metric space in the sense of Rieffel. We give a weighted analog of Benjamini–Schramm convergence for vertex-weighted pointed graphs. As our [Formula: see text]-algebras are non-nuclear, we adjust the Lip-norm coming from [Formula: see text] to utilize the finite dimensional filtration of [Formula: see text]. We then prove that convergence of vertex-weighted pointed graphs leads to quantum Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of the associated adjusted compact quantum metric spaces. As an application, we apply our construction to the Guionnet–Jones–Shyakhtenko (GJS) [Formula: see text]-algebra associated to a planar algebra. We conclude that the compact quantum metric spaces coming from the GJS [Formula: see text]-algebras of many infinite families of planar algebras converge in quantum Gromov–Hausdorff distance.

K-theoretic Gromov–Witten invariants of line degrees on flag varieties
A homology class [Formula: see text] of a complex flag variety [Formula: see text] is called a line degree if the moduli space [Formula: see text] of 0-pointed stable maps to X of degree d is also a flag variety [Formula: see text]. We prove a quantum equals classical formula stating that any n-pointed (equivariant, [Formula: see text]-theoretic, genus zero) Gromov–Witten invariant of line degree on X is equal to a classical intersection number computed on the flag variety [Formula: see text]. We also prove an n-pointed analogue of the Peterson comparison formula stating that these invariants coincide with Gromov–Witten invariants of the variety of complete flags [Formula: see text]. Our formulas make it straightforward to compute the big quantum [Formula: see text]-theory ring [Formula: see text] modulo the ideal [Formula: see text] generated by degrees d larger than line degrees.

Abstract Given a closed symplectic manifoldX, we construct Gromov-Witten-type invariants valued both in (complex)K-theory and in any complex-oriented cohomology theory$$\mathbb{K}$$which isKp(n)-local for some MoravaK-theoryKp(n). We show that these invariants satisfy a version of the Kontsevich-Manin axioms, extending Givental and Lee’s work for the quantumK-theory of complex projective algebraic varieties. In particular, we prove a Gromov-Witten type splitting axiom, and hence define quantumK-theory and quantum$$\mathbb{K}$$-theory as commutative deformations of the corresponding (generalised) cohomology rings ofX; the definition of the quantum product involves the formal group of the underlying cohomology theory. The key geometric input of these results is a construction of global Kuranishi charts for moduli spaces of stable maps of arbitrary genus toX. On the algebraic side, in order to establish a common framework covering both ordinaryK-theory andKp(n)-local theories, we introduce a formalism of ‘counting theories’ for enumerative invariants on a category of global Kuranishi charts.more » « less

We prove a splitting formula that reconstructs the logarithmic Gromov–Witten invariants of simple normal crossing varieties from the punctured Gromov–Witten invariants of their irreducible components, under the assumption of the gluing strata being toric varieties. The formula is based on the punctured Gromov–Witten theory developed by Abramovich, Chen, Gross, and Siebert.more » « less

null (Ed.)We compute the $g=1$ , $n=1$ B-model Gromov–Witten invariant of an elliptic curve $$E$$ directly from the derived category $$\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$$ . More precisely, we carry out the computation of the categorical Gromov–Witten invariant defined by Costello using as target a cyclic $$\mathscr{A}_{\infty }$$ model of $$\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$$ described by Polishchuk. This is the first non-trivial computation of a positive-genus categorical Gromov–Witten invariant, and the result agrees with the prediction of mirror symmetry: it matches the classical (non-categorical) Gromov–Witten invariants of a symplectic 2-torus computed by Dijkgraaf.more » « less

In a previous paper (Farajzadeh-Tehrani in Geom Topol 26:989–1075, 2022), for any logarithmic symplectic pair (X, D) of a symplectic manifold X and a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor D, we introduced the notion of log pseudo-holomorphic curve and proved a compactness theorem for the moduli spaces of stable log curves. In this paper, we introduce a natural Fredholm setup for studying the deformation theory of log (and relative) curves. As a result, we obtain a logarithmic analog of the space of Ruan–Tian perturbations for these moduli spaces. For a generic compatible pair of an almost complex structure and a log perturbation term, we prove that the subspace of simple maps in each stratum is cut transversely. Such perturbations enable a geometric construction of Gromov–Witten type invariants for certain semi-positive pairs (X, D) in arbitrary genera. In future works, we will use local perturbations and a gluing theorem to construct log Gromov–Witten invariants of arbitrary such pair (X, D).more » « less
