Genus-Zero Two-Point Hyperplane Integrals in the Gromov-Witten Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we compute certain two-point integrals over a moduli space of stable maps into projective space. Computation of one-point analogues of these integrals constitutes a proof of mirror symmetry for genus-zero one-point Gromov-Witten invariants of projective hypersurfaces. The integrals computed in this paper constitute a significant portion in the proof of mirror symmetry for genus-one GW-invariants completed in a separate paper. These integrals also provide explicit mirror formulas for genus-zero two-point GW-invariants of projective hypersurfaces. The approach described in this paper leads to a reconstruction algorithm for all genus-zero GW-invariants of projective hypersurfaces.

The 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 Relative Riemann-hurwitz Theorem, the Hurwitz-hodge Bundle, and Orbifold Gromov-witten Theory
We provide a formula describing the G-module structure of the Hurwitz-Hodge bundle for admissible G-covers in terms of the Hodge bundle of the base curve, and more generally, for describing the G-module structure of the push-forward to the base of any sheaf on a family of admissible Gcovers. This formula can be interpreted as a representation-ring-valued relative Riemann-Hurwitz formula for fam...
متن کاملHigher Genus Gromov–witten Invariants as Genus Zero Invariants of Symmetric Products
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.
متن کاملThe Gromov-witten Potential of a Point, Hurwitz Numbers, and Hodge Integrals
Hurwitz numbers, which count certain covers of the projective line (or, equivalently, factorizations of permutations into transpositions), have been extensively studied for over a century. The Gromov-Witten potential F of a point, the generating series for Hodge integrals on the moduli space of curves, has been a central object of study in Gromov-Witten theory. We define a slightly enriched Gro...
متن کاملRelative Gromov-witten Invariants and the Mirror Formula
Let X be a smooth complex projective variety, and let Y ⊂ X be a smooth very ample hypersurface such that −KY is nef. Using the technique of relative Gromov-Witten invariants, we give a new short and geometric proof of (a version of) the “mirror formula”, i.e. we show that the generating function of the genus zero 1-point Gromov-Witten invariants of Y can be obtained from that of X by a certain...
