We prove an equality of cycles in the Chow groups of the moduli spaces of relative stable maps that relates these relative invariants to the Gromov-Witten invariants of X and Y. Given the Gromov-Witten invariants of X, we show that these relations are sufficient to compute all relative invariants, as well as all genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of Y whose homology and cohomology classes are induced by X.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-08-12T01:54:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ample hypersurface", "genus zero relative gromov-witten invariants", "genus zero gromov-witten invariants", "smooth complex projective variety", "relative invariants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999math......8054G" } } }
