Positivity conjecture for fixed-domain Gromov–Witten invariants of Fano varieties

About 8 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth Fano variety of complex dimension rr, let gg be a genus, and let AA be a curve class. The fixed-domain Gromov–Witten invariants are the virtual counts associated with fixed marked domains and incidence constraints. Positivity conjecture. The fixed-domain Gromov–Witten invariants are positive when ⟨c1(X),A⟩\langle c_1(X),A\rangle is large compared to rr and gg. Positivity is known in all examples discussed in the source, but the general assertion is presented as an unresolved expectation; enumerativity is explicitly distinct from positivity and can fail even in large degree.
