Open Gromov-Witten invariants in genus zero and Lagrangian cobordisms

Symplectic Geometry 2026-05-27 v1

Abstract

We construct open Gromov-Witten invariants in genus zero for arbitrary closed symplectic manifolds and embedded relatively spin Lagrangians, which are weakly unobstructed by a bounding cochain. This uses the foundational work of \cite{HH25,HH26} and the algebraic framework of \cite{ST21}. We prove the open WDVV relations and show that these invariants are independent of the choice of almost complex structure and under Hamiltonian isotopy. We also prove a relation between open Gromov-Witten invariants of cobordant Lagrangians.
