Review text

The normal bundle of smooth Fano surface \(S\) inside a Calabi--Yau threefold \(X\) is a canonical bundle. It is negative, so a stable map to \(S\) can't be deformed to \(X\). Thus moduli spaces of stable maps to \(S\) and to \(X\) coincide. However their virtual fundamental classes are not; one for \(X\) is a cup-product of one for \(S\) with an Euler class of the so called obstruction bundle. Integrals of this Euler classes are called local Gromov--Witten invariants. They are defined in terms of Fano surface \(S\) and are equal to Gromov--Witten invariants of \(X\) if \(S\) can be embedded to a Calabi--Yau threefold \(X\). If \(S\) is toric one can use localization technic to compute these invariants. In the paper authors define the generalization of local Gromov--Witten invariants for toric surfaces, not necessarily Fano. Using localization authors compute these invariants (Theorem 1).
