Abstract

Let $A_{r}$ be the minimal resolution of the type $A_{r}$ surface singularity. We study the equivariant orbifold Gromov–Witten theory of the $n$ –fold symmetric product stack $[{Sym}^{n} (A_{r})]$ of $A_{r}$ . We calculate the divisor operators, which turn out to determine the entire theory under a nondegeneracy hypothesis. This, together with the results of Maulik and Oblomkov, shows that the Crepant Resolution Conjecture for ${Sym}^{n} (A_{r})$ is valid. More strikingly, we complete a tetrahedron of equivalences relating the Gromov–Witten theories of $[{Sym}^{n} (A_{r})] ∕ {Hilb}^{n} (A_{r})$ and the relative Gromov–Witten/Donaldson–Thomas theories of $A_{r} \times ℙ^{1}$ .
