Enumerative interpretation of Gromov–Witten invariants for the cubic degeneration and [?]2
Let be either the Hirzebruch surface or the surface obtained by blowing up six points on a conic, and let be its -curve. Let be an effective divisor class on with and , and let denote the class of a point. A stable map is understood as a map from a curve , with pushforward class . Enumerative Gromov–Witten conjecture. The Gromov–Witten invariant
is the number of maps such that has one component not mapping to , every other component maps isomorphically to , and intersects at one point contained in . This conjectural interpretation would extend the recursive computation of Gromov–Witten invariants from del Pezzo surfaces to the singular degeneration and, by deformation invariance, to cubic surfaces. The corresponding genus-zero interpretation for was attributed to Kleiman and Abramovich; the general assertion in the stated form is not resolved by the supplied source.
