We study the symplectomorphism groups $G_λ=Symp_0(M,ω_λ)$ of an arbitrary closed manifold M equipped with a 1-parameter family of symplectic forms $ω_λ$ with variable cohomology class. We show that the existence of nontrivial elements in $π_*({\cal A},{\cal A}')$, where $({\cal A},{\cal A}')$ is a suitable pair of spaces of almost complex structures, implies the exiarxiv.org stence of families of nontrivial elements in $π_{*-i}G_λ$, for $i=1$ or 2. Suitable parametric Gromov Witten invariants detect nontrivial elements in $π_*({\cal A},{\cal A}')$. By looking at certain resolutions of quotient singularities we investigate the situation $(M,ω_λ)= (S^2 \times S^2 \times X,σ_F \oplus λσ_B \oplus ω_{st})$, with $(X,ω_{st})$ an arbitrary symplectic manifold. We find families of nontrivial elements in $π_k(G_λ^X)$, for countably many $k$ and different values of $λ$. In particular we show that the fragile elements $w_{\ell}$ found by Abreu-McDuff in $π_{4 \ell}(G_{\ell+1}^{pt})$ do not disappear when we consider them in $S^2 \times S^2 \times X$.

We provide an enumerative meaning of the mirror maps for toric Calabi-Yau orbifolds in terms of relative Gromov-Witten invariants of the toric compactifications. As a consequence, we obtain an equality between relative Gromov-Witten invariants and open Gromov-Witten invariants. Therefore, the instanton corrected mirrors for toric Calabi-Yau orbifolds can be constructed using relative Gromov-Witten invariants.
Degeneration and gluing of Kuranishi structures in Gromov-Witten theory and the degeneration/gluing axioms for open Gromov-Witten invariants under a symplectic cut
We study genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of Fano complete intersections in the projective spaces. Among other things, we show a reconstruction theorem for genus 1 invariants with only ambient insertions, and compute the genus 1 invariants with 1 marked point. For cubic hypersurfaces of dimension $\neq 4$ and odd dimensional intersections of two quadrics, we obtain a complete reconstruction theorem for genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants.
We provide an inductive algorithm computing Gromov-Witten invariants in all genera with arbitrary insertions of all smooth complete intersections in projective space. We also prove that all Gromov-Witten classes of all smooth complete intersections in projective space belong to the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable curves. The main idea is to show that invariants with insertions of primitive cohomology classes are controlled by their monodromy and by invariants defined without primitive insertions but with imposed nodes in the domain curve. To compute these nodal Gromov-Witten in…
We show that it is possible to define the contribution of degree one covers of a disk to open Gromov-Witten invariants. We build explicit sections of obstruction bundles in order to extend the algebro-geometric techniques of Pandharipande to the case of domains with boundary.
In our previous work, we provided an algebraic proof of the Zinger's comparison formula between genus one Gromov-Witten invariants and reduced invariants when the target space is a complete intersection of dimension two or three in a projective space. In this paper, we extend the result in any dimensions and for descendant invariants.
Polyfold theory, as developed by Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, is a relatively new approach to resolving transversality issues that arise in the study of $J$-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. This approach has recently led to a well-defined Gromov-Witten invariant for $J$-holomorphic curves of arbitrary genus, and for all closed symplectic manifolds. The Gromov-Witten axioms, as originally described by Kontsevich and Manin, give algebraic relationships between the Gromov-Witten invariants. In this paper, we prove the Gromov-Witten axioms for the polyfold Gromov-Witten invariants.
