Enriched enumerative geometry and the Yau-Zaslow Formula
-
Speaker(s):Jesse Pajwani (Imperial College London)
Enriched enumerative geometry is a new area in which we take results in enumerative geometry over the complex numbers and refine them to give results over any base field. The "refinements" in question recover the classical results over algebraically closed fields but may also include arithmetic information about the base field. In this talk, I'll give an introduction to the field of enriched enumerative geometry, and then give an overview of a proof of an enriched refinement of the Yau-Zaslow formula for counting rational curves on K3 surfaces. This talk is on joint work with Ambrus Pál.
