From the publisher

This book is based on the lectures given at the Oberwolfach Seminar held in Fall 2021. Logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory lies at the heart of modern approaches to mirror symmetry, but also opens up a number of new directions in enumerative geometry of a more classical flavour. Tropical geometry forms the calculus through which calculations in this subject are carried out. These notes cover the foundational aspects of this tropical calculus, geometric aspects of the degeneration formula for Gromov-Witten invariants, and the practical nuances of working with and enumerating tropical curves. Readers will get an assisted entry route to the subject, focusing on examples and explicit calculations.

Renzo Cavalieri completed his PhD at University of Utah in 2005 under the direction of Aaron Bertram. He was a postdoc at University of Michigan under the mentorship of Bill Fulton for the following three years. In 2008, he became faculty at Colorado State University where he is currently a professor in the department of mathematics.
Hannah Markwig completed her PhD in 2006 at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany, advised by Andreas Gathmann. She was a Postdoc at the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications in Minneapolis and at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, before she started a Juniorprofessorship at the University of Gttingen in 2008. In 2011, she moved to the University of the Saarland as a Professor, and in 2016 to the University of Tbingen.
Dhruv Ranganathan completed his PhD at Yale University in 2016 under the direction of Sam Payne. He was a CLE Moore Instructor at MIT and a memberat the Institute for Advanced Study in 2017. Since 2019, he has been at the University of Cambridge, where he is currently a professor of mathematics.
The authors have worked together since 2013, on several projects related to the themes discussed in this book. They have taught several courses, including at MSRI, Stockholm, and of course in Oberwolfach. In addition to their shared love of mathematics, the authors enjoy hiking, cooking, music, and the life-altering card game known as "tichu".
