Who streamlined Kontsevich's count of rational curves?

Let $N_d$ denote the number of rational curves in $\mathbf P^2$ passing through $3d-1$ points in general position. Maxim Kontsevich discovered a famous recursion for these numbers: $$ N_d = \sum_{k+l =...

Is anything known about the enumeration of degree d, genus g curves in CP^2 where g >1 ?

I wanted to know if there is something analogous to Kontsevich's recursion formula for enumeration of genus zero curves in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$, for higher genus curves. There is a similar ...

Chow Ring of Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties

Is there a good reference for the structure of the Chow ring of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties? More generally, references for the intersection ...

Noether-Lefschetz locus in enumerative geometry.

It is well known that if you have a smooth quartic surface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^3$, it may or may not have lines in it. Indeed, $X$ has the following options, 64 (the maximal number), 32, 16, or none. ...

Classical Enumerative Geometry References

I want to start out by making this clear: I'm NOT looking for the modern proofs and rigorous statements of things. What I am looking for are references for classical enumerative geometry, back before ...

Higher-dimensional Gromov-Witten theories

A basic set-up in modern enumerative geometry is that you have some object $X$ (say, a "nice" stack, for whatever definition of "nice" you need) and then you want to "count&...
