Title: Tropical counts of Gromov-Witten invariants in dimension 3.
Abstract: Tropical curves appear when we study holomorphic curves under
certain degenerations, or relative to normal-crossing divisors. In many
cases, there is a correspondence between counting tropical curves and
Gromov邑itten invariants. In complex dimension 3, this correspondence has
the wonderful feature that each tropical curve corresponds to
Gromov邑itten invariants counting curves in all genus. I will illustrate
some examples of this correspondence, including some interesting examples
counting Gromov-Witten invariants in log Calabi-Yau manifolds, where our
tropical curves live in a 3 dimensional integral affine space with
singularities along a 1-dimensional locus.
