The Yamabe Invariant of Complex Surfaces
The Yamabe invariant is a real-valued diffeomorphism invariant coming from Riemannian geometry. Using Seiberg-Witten theory, LeBrun showed that the sign of the Yamabe invariant of a Kähler surface is determined by its Kodaira dimension. We consider the extent to which this remains true when the Kähler hypothesis is removed. This is joint work with Claude LeBrun.

K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants and their adelic characterization
Gromov-Witten invariants of a given Kahler target space are defined as suitable intersection numbers in moduli spaces of stable maps of complex curves into the target space. Their K-theoretic analogues are defined as holomorphic Euler characteristics of suitable vector bundles over these moduli spaces.
We will describe how the Kawasaki-Riemann-Roch theorem expressing holomorphic Euler characteristics in cohomological terms leads to the adelic formulas for generating functions encoding K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants.
