All-Genus Large-Degree Asymptotics for Gromov--Witten Invariants of the Projective Plane

Abstract

This is the first part of a series of papers on the large-degree asymptotics of Gromov--Witten invariants. In this paper, we prove complete large-degree asymptotic expansions, at every fixed genus, for the primary Gromov--Witten invariants of the complex projective plane. The proof uses singularity analysis to transfer the local expansions of generating functions at their dominant singularities to asymptotic expansions of Gromov--Witten invariants. The genus-zero asymptotic expansion is obtained from an analysis of the Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde (WDVV) equation. The higher-genus cases are obtained from the Givental--Teleman reconstruction theorem for semisimple cohomological field theories and from the graph-sum formula for the $R$-matrix action.

The Brauer-Manin obstruction for stacky curves

We show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong approximation for all stacky curves over global fields with finite abelian fundamental groups. This includes all stacky curves of genus $g = \frac{1}{2}$, thus explaining a recent counterexample to the Hasse principle of Bhargava-Poonen. We will furthermore show that the elementary obstruction is the only obstruction to the integral Hasse principle for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus $g < 1$. We then compute the Brauer-Manin obstruction for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus $\frac{1}{2}$.

Tropicalization of super Gromov-Witten invariants

We show that genus-0, $n$ Neveu-Schwarz marked, super Gromov-Witten invariants of a convex, toric variety $X$ can be defined and computed using tropical geometry. When $X$ is a point, the tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$ are descendant invariants on the moduli space of tropical curves. When $X$ is a general convex, toric variety, we define a procedure that computes the tropical, inverse Euler class of the SUSY normal bundle $\overline{N}_{n, β} \rightarrow \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}(X, β)$, under the assumption that $\overline{N}_{n, β}$ is in some sense locally tropicalizable. We define the tropical, genus-0, $n$ Neveu-Schwarz marked, super Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$, and show that the definition recovers the tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariants of a point. We compute a tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariant of $\mathbb{P}^1$.

Optimal bounds for local volumes of threefold singularities

We establish an optimal upper bound for local volumes of Gorenstein canonical non-hypersurface threefold singularities. Specifically, we show that a klt threefold singularity with local volume at least $9$ is either a hypersurface singularity or a quotient singularity. As applications, we obtain new restrictions on the singularities of members in K-moduli spaces of Fano threefolds, and we establish a sharp inequality between local volumes and minimal log discrepancies for threefold singularities.
