Spectral theory and enumerative geometry
In recent years, a surprising correspondence has been found between the spectral theory of certain trace class operators, and the enumerative geometry of certain Calabi-Yau threefolds. This correspondence leads to a new family of exactly solvable operators in spectral theory, as well as to a new point of view on Gromov-Witten theory. In this overview talk I will introduce the conjecture and some developments inspired by it.
