Counting curves on K3 surfaces: the Katz-Klemm-Vafa formula
Abstract: I will explain our recent proof (with R. Thomas) of the KKV formula
governing higher genus curve counting in arbitrary classes on K3 surfaces.
The subject intertwines Gromov-Witten, Noether-Lefschetz, and Donaldson-Thomas
theories. A tour of these ideas will be included in the talk.
