Abstracts
Andrei Caldararu
Several years ago Tom Bridgeland suggested that there should exist interesting chain maps C_*(M_{g,n}) -> C_{*+2}(M_{g,n+1}) and he conjectured some applications of these maps to mirror symmetry. I shall present a precise definition of these maps using techniques from the theory of ribbon graphs, and discuss a recent result (joint with Dima Arinkin) about the homology of the total complex associated to the bicomplex obtained from these maps. Then I shall speculate (wildly) about applications to mirror symmetry.

Let S be a K3 surface, v an indivisible Mukai vector, and M(v) the moduli space of stable sheaves on S with Mukai vector v. The universal sheaf gives rise to an integral functor F from the derived category of coherent sheaves on S to that on M(v). We show that the functor F is faithful (but not full). The bounded derived category of M(v) is rather mysterious at the moment. As a first step, we provide a simple conjectural description of its full subcategory whose of objects are images of objects on S via the functor F. We verify that description whenever M(v) is the Hilbert scheme of points on S. This work is joint with Sukhendu Mehrotra.

I will discuss elliptic genus of singular varieties and its extension to Witten's phases of N=2 theories. In particular McKay correspondence for elliptic genus will be described. As one of applications I will show how to derive relations between elliptic genera of Calabi Yau manifolds and related Witten phases using equivariant McKay correspondence for elliptic genus.
