Abstract A great number of theoretical results are known about log Gromov–Witten invariants (Abramovich and Chen in Asian J Math 18:465–488, 2014; Chen in Ann Math (2) 180:455–521, 2014; Gross and Siebert J Am Math Soc 26: 451–510, 2013), but few calculations are worked out. In this paper we restrict to surfaces and to genus 0 stable log maps of maximal tangency. We ask how various natural components of the moduli space contribute to the log Gromov–Witten invariants. The first such calculation (Gross et al. in Duke Math J 153:297–362, 2010, Proposition 6.1) by Gross–Pandharipande–Siebert deals with multiple covers over rigid curves in the log Calabi–Yau setting. As a natural continuation, in this paper we compute the contributions of non-rigid irreducible curves in the log Calabi–Yau setting and that of the union of two rigid curves in general position. For the former, we construct and study a moduli space of “logarithmic” 1-dimensional sheaves and compare the resulting multiplicity with tropical multiplicity. For the latter, we explicitly describe the components of the moduli space and work out the logarithmic deformation theory in full, which we then compare with the deformation theory of the analogous relative stable maps.

Deformation Theory of Log Pseudo-holomorphic Curves and Logarithmic Ruan–Tian Perturbations
In a previous paper (Farajzadeh-Tehrani in Geom Topol 26:989–1075, 2022), for any logarithmic symplectic pair (X, D) of a symplectic manifold X and a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor D, we introduced the notion of log pseudo-holomorphic curve and proved a compactness theorem for the moduli spaces of stable log curves. In this paper, we introduce a natural Fredholm setup for studying the deformation theory of log (and relative) curves. As a result, we obtain a logarithmic analog of the space of Ruan–Tian perturbations for these moduli spaces. For a generic compatible pair of an almost complex structure and a log perturbation term, we prove that the subspace of simple maps in each stratum is cut transversely. Such perturbations enable a geometric construction of Gromov–Witten type invariants for certain semi-positive pairs (X, D) in arbitrary genera. In future works, we will use local perturbations and a gluing theorem to construct log Gromov–Witten invariants of arbitrary such pair (X, D).

null (Ed.)We prove a decomposition formula of logarithmic Gromov–Witten invariants in a degeneration setting. A one-parameter log smooth family $X \longrightarrow B$ with singular fibre over $b_0\in B$ yields a family $\mathscr {M}(X/B,\beta ) \longrightarrow B$ of moduli stacks of stable logarithmic maps. We give a virtual decomposition of the fibre of this family over $b_0$ in terms of rigid tropical maps to the tropicalization of $X/B$ . This generalizes one aspect of known results in the case that the fibre $X_{b_0}$ is a normal crossings union of two divisors. We exhibit our formulas in explicit examples.more » « less

Abstract As announced in Gross and Siebert (in Algebraic geometry: Salt Lake City 2015, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, vol 97, no 2. AMS, Providence, pp 199–230, 2018) in 2016, we construct and prove consistency of the canonical wall structure . This construction starts with a log Calabi–Yau pair ( X , D ) and produces a wall structure, as defined in Gross et al. (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 278(1376), 1376, 1–103, 2022). Roughly put, the canonical wall structure is a data structure which encodes an algebro-geometric analogue of counts of Maslov index zero disks. These enumerative invariants are defined in terms of the punctured invariants of Abramovich et al. (Punctured Gromov–Witten invariants, 2020. arXiv:2009.07720v2 [math.AG]). There are then two main theorems of the paper. First, we prove consistency of the canonical wall structure, so that, using the setup of Gross et al. (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 278(1376), 1376, 1–103, 2022), the canonical wall structure gives rise to a mirror family. Second, we prove that this mirror family coincides with the intrinsic mirror constructed in Gross and Siebert (Intrinsic mirror symmetry, 2019. arXiv:1909.07649v2 [math.AG]). While the setup of this paper is narrower than that of Gross and Siebert (Intrinsic mirror symmetry, 2019. arXiv:1909.07649v2 [math.AG]), it gives a more detailed description of the mirror.more » « less

Abstract Basepoint free cycles on the moduli space $\overline{\operatorname{M}}_{0,n}$ of stable $n$-pointed rational curves, defined using Gromov–Witten invariants of smooth projective homogeneous spaces are introduced and studied. Intersection formulas to find classes are given. Gromov–Witten divisors for projective space are shown equivalent to conformal blocks divisors for type A at level 1.

null (Ed.)We compute the $g=1$ , $n=1$ B-model Gromov–Witten invariant of an elliptic curve $E$ directly from the derived category $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$ . More precisely, we carry out the computation of the categorical Gromov–Witten invariant defined by Costello using as target a cyclic $\mathscr{A}_{\infty }$ model of $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{coh}}^{b}(E)$ described by Polishchuk. This is the first non-trivial computation of a positive-genus categorical Gromov–Witten invariant, and the result agrees with the prediction of mirror symmetry: it matches the classical (non-categorical) Gromov–Witten invariants of a symplectic 2-torus computed by Dijkgraaf.more » « less
