Abstract: We establish a homology relation for the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of real curves which lifts to a WDVV-type relation for real Gromov-Witten invariants of real symplectic manifolds; we also obtain a vanishing theorem for these invariants. For many real symplectic manifolds, these results reduce all genus 0 real invariants with conjugate pairs of constraints to genus 0 invariants with a single conjugate pair of constraints. In particular, we give a complete recursion for counts of real rational curves in odd-dimensional projective spaces with conjugate pairs of constraints and specify all cases when they are nonzero and thus provide non-trivial lower bounds in high-dimensional real algebraic geometry. We also show that the real invariants of the three-dimensional projective space with conjugate point constraints are congruent to their complex analogues modulo 4.

Review text

In this paper, among other things, the authors establish a homology relation between the geometric classes on Deligne-Mumford moduli space \(\mathbb{R}\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,3}\) of real, genus-0 curves with 3 conjugate pairs of marked points. Indirectly, this relation gives a complete recursion for counts of real rational curves with conjugate pairs of arbitrary constraints in \(\mathbb{P}^{2n-1}.\) The authors also show that the real invariants of the 3-dimensional projective space with conjugate point constraints are congruent to their complex analogues modulo 4.
