Enumeration of Real Curves in CP and a WDVV Relation for Real Gromov-Witten Invariants

چکیده
We establish a homology relation for the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of real curves which lifts to a WDVV-type relation for a class of real Gromov-Witten invariants of real symplectic manifolds; we also obtain a vanishing theorem for these invariants. For many real symplectic manifolds, these results reduce all genus 0 real invariants with conjugate pairs of constraints to genus 0 invariants with a single conjugate pair of constraints. In particular, we give a complete recursion for counts of real rational curves in odd-dimensional projective spaces with conjugate pairs of constraints and specify all cases when they are nonzero and thus provide non-trivial lower bounds in high-dimensional real algebraic geometry. We also show that the real invariants of the three-dimensional projective space with conjugate point constraints are congruent to their complex analogues modulo 4.

A Recursion for Counts of Real Curves in CP
In a recent paper, we obtained a WDVV-type relation for real genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants with conjugate pairs of insertions; it specializes to a complete recursion in the case of odddimensional projective spaces. This note provides another, more complex-geometric, proof of the latter. The main part of this approach readily extends to real symplectic manifolds with empty real locus, but not...
متن کاملReal Gromov-Witten Theory in All Genera and Real Enumerative Geometry: Computation
The first part of this work constructs positive-genus real Gromov-Witten invariants of realorientable symplectic manifolds of odd “complex” dimensions; the second part studies the orientations on the moduli spaces of real maps used in constructing these invariants. The present paper applies the results of the latter to obtain quantitative and qualitative conclusions about the invariants defined...
متن کاملJ un 2 00 5 FROM ZWIEBACH INVARIANTS TO GETZLER RELATION
We introduce the notion of Zwiebach invariants that generalize Gromov-Witten invariants and homotopical algebra structures. We outline the induction procedure that induces the structure of Zwiebach on the subbicomplex, that gives the structure of Gromov-Witten invariants on subbicomplex with zero diffferentials. We propose to treat Hodge dGBV with 1/12 axiom as the simplest set of Zwiebach inva...
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 کاملEnumerative Geometry of Hyperelliptic Plane Curves
In recent years there has been a tremendous amount of progress on classical problems in enumerative geometry. This has largely been a result of new ideas and motivation for these problems coming from theoretical physics. In particular, the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants has provided powerful tools for counting curves satisfying incidence conditions. This theory has been most successful in d...
