A construction of global Kuranishi charts for Gromov-Witten moduli spaces of arbitrary genus


Abstract
             

Symplectic Gromov-Witten invariants have long been complicated by the fact that delicate local-to-global arguments were required in their construction. In 2021 Abouzaid-McLean-Smith gave the first construction of global charts for general Gromov-Witten moduli spaces in genus zero. I will describe a generalisation of their construction for stable maps of higher genus and discuss potential applications. This is joint work in progress with Mohan Swaminathan.
