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].

Tautological systems are Picard-Fuchs type systems arising from varieties with large symmetry. In this survey, we discuss recent progress on the study of tautological systems. This includes tautological systems for vector bundles, a new construction of Jacobian rings for homogenous vector bundles, and relations between period integrals and zeta functions.

The purpose of this short article is to prove a product formula relating the log Gromov-Witten invariants of V×W with those of V and W in the case the log structure on V is trivial.

The aim of Part II is to explore the technique of invariance of tautological equations in the realm of Gromov--Witten theory. The main result is a proof of Invariance Theorem (Invariance Conjecture~1 in [14]), via the techniques from Gromov--Witten theory. It establishes some general inductive structure of the tautological rings, and provides a new tool to the study of this area.
