Abstract:
The Hodge theory of surfaces provides a link between enumerative geometry and modular forms, via the cohomological theta correspondence. I will present an approach to studying the Gromov–Witten invariants of Weierstrass fibrations over $P^2$, proving part of a conjectural formula coming from topological string theory.
