Elliptic Gromov-Witten Invariants of Del-Pezzo Surfaces

Abstract

We obtain a formula for the number of genus one curves with a variable complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This is done using Getzler's relationship among cohomology classes of certain codimension 2 cycles in $\overline{M}_{1,4}$ and recursively computing the genus-one Gromov-Witten invariants of del Pezzo surfaces. Using completely different methods, this problem has been solved earlier by Bertram and Abramovich, Ravi Vakil, Dubrovin and Zhang and more recently using Tropical geometric methods by M. Shoval and E. Shustin. We also subject our formula to several low degree checks and compare them to the numbers obtained by the earlier authors.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
