Abstract: Let X be a smooth projective Deligne-Mumford stack over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. In this paper we construct the moduli stack of very twisted stable maps, extending the notion of twisted stable maps by Abramovich and Vistoli to allow for generic stabilizers on the source curves. We also consider the Gromov-Witten theory given by this construction.

Review text

The conjectural Donaldson-Thomas/Gromov-Witten correspondence for Calabi-Yau 3-folds has been established by \textit{D. Maulik, N. Nekrasov, A. Okounkov} and \textit{R. Pandharipande} [Compos. Math. 142, No. 5, 1263--1285 (2006; Zbl 1108.14046)]. A natural question is to set up the foundations of the GW/DT equivalence when the Calabi-Yau 3-fold is an orbifold. J. Bryan and R. Pandharipande noticed a difficulty that in Donaldson-Thomas theory, there could be curves with generic orbifold structure, in contrast to orbifold Gromov-Witten theory. So one needs to study the so-called ``very twisted stable maps to allow generic stabilizers on the source curve, which is the main goal of the paper under review. Let \(X\) be a 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau orbifold. To construct the moduli of very twisted stable maps \(\widetilde{\mathcal K}_{g,n}(X,\beta)\), the authors first constructed the stack \(\mathcal G_X\) of étale gerbes in \(X\) as a rigidification of the stack \(\mathcal S_X\) of subgroups of the inertia stack \(\mathcal I(X)\). Then they prove that the two universal objects on \(\widetilde{\mathcal K}_{g,n}(X,\beta)\) in fact give the same invariants following the arguments of \textit{D. Abramovich, T. Graber} and \textit{A. Vistoli} [Am. J. Math. 130, No. 5, 1337--1398 (2008; Zbl 1193.14070)] As pointed out in the final remark of the paper, the theory they developed has problems of nonzero virtual dimension and so needs further improvements.
