Abstract

Let LL be a closed orientable Lagrangian submanifold of a closed symplectic six-manifold (X,ω)(X, \omega). We assume that the first homology group H1(L;A)H_1 (L ; A) with coefficients in a commutative ring AA injects into the group H1(X;A)H_1 (X ; A) and that XX contains no Maslov zero pseudo-holomorphic disc with boundary on LL. Then, we prove that for every generic choice of a tame almost-complex structure JJ on XX, every relative homology class dH2(X,L;Z)d \in H_2 (X, L ; \Z) and adequate number of incidence conditions in LL or XX, the weighted number of JJ-holomorphic discs with boundary on LL, homologous to dd, and either irreducible or reducible disconnected, which satisfy the conditions, does not depend on the generic choice of JJ, provided that at least one incidence condition lies in LL. These numbers thus define open Gromov-Witten invariants in dimension six, taking values in the ring AA.
