Abstract

We rederive a relation between the genus-one GW-invariants of a quintic threefold in \Pf\Pf and the genus-zero and genus-one GW-invariants of \Pf\Pf. In contrast to the more general derivation in a separate paper, the present derivation relies on a widely believed, but still unproven, statement concerning rigidity of holomorphic curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds. On the other hand, this paper's derivation is more direct and geometric. It requires a bit more effort, but relies on less outside work.
