Relations in the tautological ring of

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel

Using a simple geometric argument, we obtain an infinite family of nontrivial relations in the tautological ring of (and in fact that of ). One immediate consequence…

Symplectic sums and Gromov-Witten invariants

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel

Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold are a count of holomorphic curves. We describe a formula expressing the GW invariants of a symplectic sum $X# Y$ in terms of the r…

The Symplectic Sum Formula for Gromov-Witten Invariants

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel, Thomas H. Parker

In the symplectic category there is a `connect sum' operation that glues symplectic manifolds by identifying neighborhoods of embedded codimension two submanifolds. This paper esta…

Topological recursive relations in

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel

We show that any degree at least polynomial in descendant or tautological classes vanishes on when . This generalizes a result of Looijenga and proves a versi…

Relative Gromov-Witten Invariants

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel, Thomas H. Parker

We define relative Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold relative to a codimension two symplectic submanifold. These invariants are the key ingredients in the symplecti…

Gromov-Witten Invariants of Symplectic Sums

Eleny-Nicoleta Ionel, Thomas H. Parker

The natural sum operation for symplectic manifolds is defined by gluing along codimension two submanifolds. Specifically, let X be a symplectic 2n-manifold with a symplectic (2n-2)…
