The paper is aimed to the new relations between genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants. The main theorem (Theorem \(5.1\)) expresses multipointed invariants in terms of invariants of lower degree or number of points. Theorem \(1.4\) is a simplification of the main theorem for the rank-one case. For the complete intersections in projective spaces this theorem reduces to compact formula \(1.1\). The corollary of these expressions is reconstruction theorem \(5.2\), which, under some natural conditions (``vanishing of one-pointed invariants which are not generated by divisors''), enables one to reconstruct multipointed Gromov--Witten invariants (``generated by divisors'') in terms of the one-pointed ones. The main idea of the paper is the following. Gromov-Witten invariants are intersection numbers on the moduli spaces of stable maps from rational curves to the variety. Embed such space to the graph space, i. e. the space of stable maps with parameterizations. There is a natural torus action on the graph space; one of its fixed loci is our moduli space of stable maps. The relations are obtained by comparing the residues of some equivariant classes under the equivariant forgetful morphisms. First authors prove the theorem for projective spaces. Then they reduce the rank-one case to the projective space case, and then reduce the arbitrary case to the rank-one case. A good reference for this paper is \textit{Y. P. Lee} and \textit{R. Pandharipande} [Am. J. Math. 126, No. 6, 1367--1379 (2004; Zbl 1080.14065)], where these results are proved independently.
