Description:

Title:  Localization for relative obstruction theories and logarithmic stable maps                            

Abstract:  I’ll talk about a technical issue that arises in trying to use torus localization to compute virtual integrals over the space of logarithmic maps, and some fun geometric constructions with algebraic stacks that are relevant.  Then I’ll try to give some idea of what ingredients would be involved in using this method for actual computations of logarithmic GW invariants.
