Abstract

"I will discuss a single system of ODE's that contains Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas theories of rank 2 bundles over curves as well quantum cohomology of the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane. This is a nonstationary analog of the quantum Calogero-Sutherland system that has some magic monodromy properties. The talk will be closely connected to R. Pandharipande's talk earlier in the week."
