An Invitation to Modern Enumerative Geometry

This book is based on a series of lectures given by the author at SISSA, Trieste, within the PhD courses Techniques in enumerative geometry (2019) and Localisation in enumerative geometry (2021). The goal of this book is to provide a gentle introduction, aimed mainly at graduate students, to the fast-growing subject of enumerative geometry and, more specifically,  counting invariants  in algebraic geometry. In addition to the more advanced techniques explained and applied in full detai
