Title: Counting maps to hypersurfaces in Grassmannians


Speaker: Shubham Sinha (ICTP)_
_


Abstract: In this talk, I will describe how to evaluate the virtual 
count of maps from a fixed-domain smooth curve to a general degree-m 
hypersurface in a Grassmannian. We use the Quot scheme to compactify the 
space of maps and perform an intersection-theoretic calculation. I will 
also briefly discuss the conditions under which the virtual count is 
enumerative.
