Research

I am primarily interested in geometric properties of Gromov-Witten invariants in algebraic geometry and
symplectic topology as well as in connections with enumerative geometry and string theory.

On Symplectic Sum Formulas in Gromov-Witten Theory

Mathematical specifics: current version, first arXiv version, pre-arXiv version, updates 02/26/15
Some e-mails, On Ionel-Parker's response, Li-Ruan's response, More on the Li-Ruan situation (updated 11/26/15)
Comments on the Annals Statement

I can't say I'm outraged. Other people do worse. Of course, there are many mathematicians who are more or less honest. But almost all of them are conformists. They are more or less honest, but they tolerate those who are not honest. G. Perelman. From Manifold Destiny, Sylvia Nassar and David Gruber, The New Yorker, August 28, 2006

Unfortunately, the situation with honesty, assisting in and rewarding dishonesty, and conformity is particularly sad in symplectic topology.
