Enumerative Invariants in Algebraic Geometry and String Theory Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, June 6-11, 2005 /

Starting in the middle of the 80s, there has been a growing and fruitful interaction between algebraic geometry and certain areas of theoretical high-energy physics, especially the various versions of string theory. Physical heuristics have provided inspiration for new mathematical definitions (such...
