We establish the asymptotic expansion of certain integrals of classes on moduli spaces of curves , when either the or goes to infinity. Our main tools are cut-join type recursion formulae from the WittenKontsevich theorem, as well as asymptotics of solutions to the first Painlev equation. We also raise a conjecture on large genus asymptotics for -point functions of classes and partially verify the positivity of coefficients in generalized Mirzakhanis formula of higher WeilPetersson volumes.

Let Y be the zero loci of a regular section of a convex vector bundle Y over Y . We provide a proof of a conjecture of Cox, Katz and Lee for the virtual class of the genus zero moduli of stable maps to Y . This in turn yields the expected relationship between Gromov-Witten theories of Y and Y which together with Mirror Theorems allows for the calculation of enumerative invariants of Y inside of Y .

Tautological systems developed in [8, 9] are Picard-Fuchs type systems to study period integrals of complete intersections in Fano varieties. We generalize tautological systems to zero loci of global sections of vector bundles. In particular, we obtain similar criterion as in [8, 9] about holonomicity and regularity of the systems. We also prove solution rank formulas and geometric realizations of solutions following the work on hypersurfaces in homogeneous varieties [4].

In this work, we show that for a certain class of threefolds in positive characteristics, rational-chain-connectivity is equivalent to supersingularity. The same result is known for K3 surfaces with elliptic fibrations. And there are examples of threefolds that are both supersingular and rationally chain connected.
