Abstract: I will start by reviewing how natural constructions on the moduli space of genus one stable curves give rise to differential rings of quasi-modular forms and quasi-Jacobi forms. Then I will explain the construction of a theory of quasi-modular forms and quasi-Jacobi forms at genus two developed in a joint work with Yongbin Ruan and Yingchun Zhang. Finally I will discuss the application in topological recursion and in the open/closed Gromov-Witten theory of a special class of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds whose mirror curves are of genus one or two.
