Abelian-surface multiple-cover conjecture

Let AA be an abelian surface, let βH2(A,Z)\beta\in H_2(A,\mathbb{Z}) be effective, and for each divisor kβk\mid\beta choose an abelian surface AkA_k and a parallel-transport morphism φk\varphi_k taking β/k\beta/k to a primitive effective class. Let αH(Mg,n)\alpha\in H^{\ast}(\overline M_{g,n}) be tautological and let γ1,,γnH(A,R)\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n\in H^{\ast}(A,\mathbb{R}). Abelian-surface multiple-cover conjecture.

α;γ1,,γng,βA=kβk3g3+ndeg(α)α;φk(γ1),,φk(γn)g,φk(β/k)Ak.\left\langle\alpha;\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n\right\rangle^A_{g,\beta}=\sum_{k\mid\beta}k^{3g-3+n-\deg(\alpha)}\left\langle\alpha;\varphi_k(\gamma_1),\ldots,\varphi_k(\gamma_n)\right\rangle^{A_k}_{g,\varphi_k(\beta/k)}.

Equivalently, after subtracting multiple covers, the reduced Gromov–Witten invariants are independent of divisibility. The rule extends a proposal for the abelian-surface analogue of the Katz–Klemm–Vafa formula and remains open.
