Algebraic and symplectic Gromov-Witten invariants coincide (Q1807903): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to prove the following Theorem: Let \(M\) be a complex projective manifold, \(R\in H_2(M,\mathbb Z)\), \(g,k\geq 0\). Let \({\mathcal C}_{R,g,k}(M)\) be the moduli space of stable maps of genus \(g\) with \(k\) marked points and representing class \(R\). Then the homology class associated to the algebraic virtual fundamental class (a Chow class on \({\mathcal C}_{R,g,k}(M))\) as in the paper by \textit{K. Behrend} [Invent. Math. 127, 601-617 (1997; Zbl 0909.14007)] and the symplectic virtual fundamental class as in the paper by \textit{B. Siebert} [``Gromov-Witten invariants for general symplectic manifolds'', preprint \url{http://arXiv.org/abs/dg-ga/?9608005}]\ coincide.
