An Invitation to Quantum Cohomology
by Joachim Kock and Israel Vainsencher
Published 24 October 2006
Elementary introduction to stable maps and quantum cohomology presents the problem of counting rational plane curves
Viewpoint is mostly that of enumerative geometry
Emphasis is on examples, heuristic discussions, and simple applications to best convey the intuition behind the subject
Ideal for self-study, for a mini-course in quantum cohomology, or as a special topics text in a standard course in intersection theory
