Higher Genus Gromov–witten Invariants as Genus Zero Invariants of Symmetric Products
نویسنده
چکیده
I prove a formula expressing the descendent genus g Gromov-Witten invariants of a projective variety X in terms of genus 0 invariants of its symmetric product stack S(X). When X is a point, the latter are structure constants of the symmetric group, and we obtain a new way of calculating the Gromov-Witten invariants of a point.

The genus zero Gromov–Witten invariants of the symmetric square of the plane
We study the Abramovich–Vistoli moduli space of genus zero orbifold stable maps to [Sym P], the stack symmetric square of P. This space compactifies the moduli space of stable maps from hyperelliptic curves to P, and we show that all genus zero Gromov–Witten invariants are determined from trivial enumerative geometry of hyperelliptic curves. We also show how the genus zero Gromov–Witten invaria...
متن کاملThe Genus Zero Gromov–witten Invariants of [sym 2 P 2 ]
We show that the WDVV equations determine the genus zero Gromov–Witten invariants of the stack symmetric square of P 2 from the 3-point invariants and certain degree 0 invariants. These degree 0 invariants can be expressed in terms of hyperelliptic Hodge integrals that have been computed by Faber and Pandharipande [11]. A direct comparison with Graber's calculation [12] shows that the Gromov–Wi...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Case of the Abelian-nonabelian Correspondence
The abelian-nonabelian correspondence outlined in [BCFK08] gives a broad conjectural relationship between (twisted) Gromov-Witten invariants of related GIT quotients. This paper proves a case of the correspondence explicitly relating genus zero mpointed Gromov-Witten invariants of Grassmannians Gr(2, n) and products of projective space P ×P. Computation of the twisted Gromov-Witten invariants o...
متن کاملNew Recursions for Genus-zero Gromov-witten Invariants
New relations among the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a complex projective manifold X are exhibited. When the cohomology of X is generated by divisor classes and classes “with vanishing one-point invariants,” the relations determine many-point invariants in terms of one-point invariants. 0. Introduction The localization theorem for equivariant cohomology has recently been used with gre...
متن کاملOpen-String Gromov-Witten Invariants: Calculations and a Mirror “Theorem”
We propose localization techniques for computing Gromov-Witten invariants of maps from Riemann surfaces with boundaries into a CalabiYau, with the boundaries mapped to a Lagrangian submanifold. The computations can be expressed in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants of one-pointed maps. In genus zero, an equivariant version of the mirror theorem allows us to write down a hypergeometric series, wh...
