"Virtual Gysin Map and Gromov-Witten Invariants for Blow ups"

Abstract: The purpose of the seminar is to show that virtual classes are a natural generalization of classical intersection theory. Precisely, I will construct a "virtual-pullback", for morphisms of Deligne-Mumford type and show it satisfies the usual functoriality properties. As an application I will analyze Gromov-Witten Invariants of blow-ups.
