Gravitational Descendants and Linearized Contact Homology

Abstract

In this paper we prove a recursion relation between the the one-point genus-0 gravitational descendants of a Stein domain (M,M)(M,\partial M). This relation is best described by the degree -2 map DD in the linearized contact homology of M\partial M, arising from the Bourgeois--Oancea exact sequence between symplectic homology of MM and linearized contact homology of M\partial M. All one-point genus-0 gravitational descendants can be reduce to the one-point Gromov--Witten invariants via iterates of DD.
