On the rigidity of stable maps to Calabi-Yau threefolds
arXiv:math/0405204 · doi:10.2140/gtm.2006.8.97
Abstract
If X is a nonsingular curve in a Calabi--Yau threefold Y whose normal bundle N_{X/Y} is a generic semistable bundle, are the local Gromov-Witten invariants of X well defined? For X of genus two or higher, the issues are subtle. We will formulate a precise line of inquiry and present some results, some positive and some negative.
