Moduli of weighted stable maps and their gravitational descendants

Algebraic Geometry 2007-11-13 v4

Abstract

We study the intersection theory on the moduli spaces of maps of nn-pointed curves f:(C,s1,...sn)Vf:(C,s_1,... s_n)\to V which are stable with respect to a weight data (a1,...,an)(a_1,..., a_n), 0ai10\le a_i\le 1. After describing the structure of these moduli spaces, we prove a formula describing the way each descendant changes under a wall crossing. As a corollary, we compute the weighted descendants in terms of the usual ones, i.e. for the weight data (1,...,1)(1,...,1), and vice versa.
