Abstract: The first author's previous work established Solomon's WDVV-type relations for Welschinger's invariant curve counts in real symplectic fourfolds by lifting geometric relations over possibly unorientable morphisms. We apply her framework to obtain WDVV-style relations for the disk invariants of real symplectic sixfolds with some symmetry, in particular confirming Alcolado's prediction for $mathbb{P}^3$ and extending it to other spaces. These relations reduce the computation of Welschinger's invariants of many real symplectic sixfolds to invariants in small degrees and provide lower bounds for counts of real rational curves with positive-dimensional insertions in some cases. In the case of $mathbb{P}^3$, our lower bounds fit perfectly with Koll'ar's vanishing results.

Review text

This paper establishes WDVV-type relations for genus-0 open Gromov-Witten invariants attached to ``real symplectic manifolds of dimension 6. This subsumes and generalizes previous results by the authors, earlier results by Solomon, and also makes contact with recent work on relative quantum cohomology by Solomon and Tukachinsky. The present paper follows the algebraic route, incorporates symmetries (other than the real structure), and shows the effectiveness of the WDVV-type relations by evaluating the invariants for projective space.
