چکیده
In this note we introduce parameterized Gromov-Witten invariants for symplectic fiber bundles and study the topology of the symplectomorphism group. We also give sample applications showing the non-triviality of certain homotopy groups of some symplectomorphism groups.

Deformations of Whitehead Products, Symplectomorphism Groups, and Gromov–Witten Invariants
homotopy groups π∗(Xλ)⊗Q for a family of topological spaces, once we know enough about their additive structure. This allows us to interpret the condition of realizing as an Ak map a multiple of a map f : S1 −→ G between two topological groups in terms of the existence of a rational Whitehead product of order k. Our main example will be when the Xλ are classifying spaces of symplectomorphism gr...
متن کاملRelations Among Universal Equations For Gromov-Witten Invariants
It is well known that relations in the tautological ring of moduli spaces of pointed stable curves give partial differential equations for Gromov-Witten invariants of compact symplectic manifolds. These equations do not depend on the target symplectic manifolds and therefore are called universal equations for Gromov-Witten invariants. In the case that the quantum cohomology of the symplectic ma...
متن کاملThe Symplectomorphism Group of a Blow Up
We study the relation between the symplectomorphism group SympM of a closed connected symplectic manifold M and the symplectomorphism and diffeomorphism groups Symp f M and Diff f M of its one point blow up f M . There are three main arguments. The first shows that for any oriented M the natural map from π1(M) to π0(Diff M) is often injective. The second argument applies when M is simply connec...
متن کاملElliptic Gromov-Witten Invariants And Virasoro Conjecture
The Virasoro conjecture predicts that the generating function of Gromov-Witten invariants is annihilated by infinitely many differential operators which form a half branch of the Virasoro algebra. This conjecture was proposed by Eguchi, Hori and Xiong [EHX2] and also by S. Katz [Ka] (see also [EJX]). It provides a powerful tool in the computation of Gromov-Witten invariants. In [LT], the author...
متن کاملGromov-Witten Invariants of Blow-ups Along Points and Curves
In this paper, usng the gluing formula of Gromov-Witten invariants under symplectic cutting, due to Li and Ruan, we studied the Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups at a smooth point or along a smooth curve. We established some relations between Gromov-Witten invariants of M and its blow-ups at a smooth point or along a smooth curve.
