Gromov–Witten invariant

In mathematics, specifically in symplectic topology and algebraic geometry, Gromov–Witten (GW) invariants are rational numbers that, in certain situations, count pseudoholomorphic curves meeting prescribed conditions in a given symplectic manifold.

Riemannian manifold

In differential geometry, a (smooth) Riemannian manifold or (smooth) Riemannian space (M,g) is a real, smooth manifold M equipped with an inner product g_p on the tangent space T_pM at each point p that varies smoothly from point to point in the sense that if X and Y are differentiable vector fields on M, then p \mapsto g_p(X(p),Y(p)) is a smooth function.

Spin structure

In differential geometry, a spin structure on an orientable Riemannian manifold allows one to define associated spinor bundles, giving rise to the notion of a spinor in differential geometry.

Spinor bundle

In differential geometry, given a spin structure on an n-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold (M, g),\, one defines the spinor bundle to be the complex vector bundle \pi_\colon\to M\, associated to the corresponding principal bundle \pi_\colon\to M\, of spin frames over M and the spin representation of its structure group (n)\, on the space of spinors \Delta_n.\,.
