Dimitri Zvonkine - On two ELSV formulas
The ELSV formula (discovered by Ekedahl, Lando, Shapiro and Vainshtein) is an equality between two numbers. The first one is a Hurwitz number that can be defined as the number of factorizations of a given permutation into transpositions. The second is the integral of a characteristic class

An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance
Title: An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the Hausdorff and Gromov-Hausdorff distances between metric spaces. The Hausdorff distance is defined on two subsets of a common metric space. The Gromov-Hausdorff distance is defined on any

Yuan-Pin Lee - Introduction to Gromov-Witten theory (Part 2)
In these lectures, Gromov{Witten theory will be introduced, assuming only basic moduli theory covered in the rst week of the School. Then the Crepant Transformation Conjecture will be explained. Some examples, with emphasis on the projective/global cases, will be given. Note: The construct

Nicolò Zava (3/17/23): Every stable invariant of finite metric spaces produces false positives
In computational topology and geometry, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between metric spaces provides a theoretical framework to tackle the problem of shape recognition and comparison. However, the direct computation of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between finite metric spaces is known to

Dimitri Zvonkine - Hurwitz numbers, the ELSV formula, and the topological recursion
We will use the example of Hurwitz numbers to make an introduction into the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves and into the subject of topological recursion.
