TITLE | Categorification of the quantum Lefschetz principle |
ABSTRACT | The quantum Lefschetz principle allows one to know the Gromov-Witten invariants of the zero locus of a section of a vector bundle from those of the ambient space. More generally, it expresses a relation between the virtual fundamental classes of the moduli stacks of stable maps to these schemes, algebraic cycles obtained from a construction which can appear somewhat mysterious. In this talk, I will explain how, through derived geometry, one can interpret this result as a purely geometric phenomenon, and deduce a categorification of the formula for virtual classes. |
