We describe an algebro-geometric approach to Vakil-Zinger’s desingularization of the main component of the moduli of genus one stable maps to P [6, 7]. The new approach provides complete local structural results for this moduli space as well as for the desingularization of the entire moduli space and should fully extend to higher genera.

We study the structure of the Goulden-Jackson-Vakil formula that relates Hurwitz numbers to some conjectural “intersection numbers” on a conjectural family of varieties Xg,n of dimension 4g − 3 + n. We give explicit formulas for the properly arranged generating function for these “intersection numbers”, and prove that it satisfies Hirota equations. This generalizes and substantially simplifies ...

Shiraz Faculty of Medicine was officially inaugurated in 1952. Indeed, it replaced the former "Medical Auxiliary Training School" (Amouzeshgah-e Alee Behdari Shiraz) that was founded in 1946. The school was intended to run a four-year course, the so-called Behdar training.
