  1. Abstract The Gromov–Wasserstein distance—a generalization of the usual Wasserstein distance—permits comparing probability measures defined on possibly different metric spaces. Recently, this notion of distance has found several applications in Data Science and in Machine Learning. With the goal of aiding both the interpretability of dissimilarity measures computed through the Gromov–Wasserstein distance and the assessment of the approximation quality of computational techniques designed to estimate the Gromov–Wasserstein distance, we determine the precise value of a certain variant of the Gromov–Wasserstein distance between unit spheres of different dimensions. Indeed, we consider a two-parameter family$$\{d_{{{\text {GW}}}p,q}\}_{p,q=1}^{\infty }$$ { d GW p , q } p , q = 1 of Gromov–Wasserstein distances between metric measure spaces. By exploiting a suitable interaction between specific values of the parameterspandqand the metric of the underlying spaces, we are able to determine the exact value of the distance$$d_{{{\text {GW}}}4,2}$$ d GW 4 , 2 between all pairs of unit spheres of different dimensions endowed with their Euclidean distance and their uniform measure.

    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.
