Intersections on tropical moduli spaces

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: This article explores to which extent the algebro-geometric theory of rational descendant Gromov-Witten invariants can be carried over to the tropical world. Despite the fact that the tropical moduli-spaces we work with are non-compact, the answer is surprisingly positive. We discuss the string, divisor and dilaton equations, we prove a splitting lemma describing the intersection with a "boundary" divisor and we prove general tropical versions of the WDVV resp. topological recursion equations (under some assumptions). As a direct application, we prove that the toric varieties mathbbP1, mathbbP2, mathbbP1imesmathbbP1 and with Psi-conditions only in combination with point conditions, the tropical and classical descendant Gromov-Witten invariants coincide (which extends the result for mathbbP2 in Markwig-Rau-2008). Our approach uses tropical intersection theory and can unify and simplify some parts of the existing tropical enumerative geometry (for rational curves).
