Summary
This chapter is devoted to a discussion of Gromov–Witten–Welschinger (GWW) classes and their applications. In particular, Horava’s definition of quantum cohomology of real algebraic varieties is revisited by using GWW classes and is introduced as a differential graded operad. In light of this definition, we speculate about mirror symmetry for real varieties.
