As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component $\ov\M_{1,k}^0(\P,d)$ of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into $\P$ have a well-defined euler class. In this paper, we extend this result to moduli spaces of perturbed, in a restricted way, $J$-holomorphic maps. We show that euler classes of such cones relate the reduced genus-one Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections to the corresponding GW-invariants of the ambient projective space. As a consequence, the standard genus-one GW-invariants of complete intersections can be expressed in terms of the genus-zero and genus-one GW-invariants of projective spaces. We state such a relationship explicitly for complete-intersection threefolds. A relationship for higher-genus invariants is conjectured as well.
