The Gromov–Witten invariant energy-bound conjecture

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact symplectic manifold and let gZg\in\mathbb Z. For fixed classes H1,,HkH(X)H_1,\ldots,H_k\in H^*(X), let τb1Hc1,,τbNHcNg,βX\langle\tau_{b_1}H_{c_1},\ldots,\tau_{b_N}H_{c_N}\rangle^X_{g,\beta} denote the descendant Gromov–Witten invariant, where bsZ0b_s\in\mathbb Z^{\ge0} and cs{1,,k}c_s\in\{1,\ldots,k\}. The Gromov–Witten invariant energy-bound conjecture. There exists CX,gR+C_{X,g}\in\mathbb R^+ such that

b1!τb1Hc1,,bN!τbNHcNg,βXN!CX,gω,β+N\left|\frac{b_1!\,\langle\tau_{b_1}H_{c_1},\ldots,b_N!\,\tau_{b_N}H_{c_N}\rangle^X_{g,\beta}}{N!}\right|\le C_{X,g}^{\langle\omega,\beta\rangle+N}

for all βH2(X)\beta\in H_2(X), N,bsZ0N,b_s\in\mathbb Z^{\ge0}, and cs{1,,k}c_s\in\{1,\ldots,k\}. Such bounds would control descendant invariants uniformly in the curve energy and number of insertions. The source notes that the conjecture is known in genus zero for all projective spaces and in arbitrary genus in substantial settings, but remains open in the stated generality.
