Relatively open Gromov-Witten invariants for symplectic manifolds of lower dimensions

Abstract

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold, $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold and $V$ be a codimension 2 symplectic submanifold of $X$, we consider the pseudoholomorphic maps from a Riemann surface with boundary $(\Sigma,\partial\Sigma)$ to the pair $(X,L)$ satisfying Lagrangian boundary conditions and intersecting $V$. In some special cases, for instance, under the semi-positivity condition, we study the stable moduli space of such pseudoholomorphic maps involving the intersection data. If $L\cap V=\emptyset$, we study the problem of orientability of the moduli space. Moreover, assume that there exists an anti-symplectic involution $\phi$ on $X$ such that $L$ is the fixed point set of $\phi$ and $V$ is $\phi$-anti-invariant, then we define the so-called relatively open invariants for the tuple $(X,\omega,V,\phi)$ if $L$ is orientable and dim$X\le 6$. If $L$ is nonorientable, we define such invariants under the condition that dim$X\le4$ and some additional restrictions on the number of marked points on each boundary component of the domain.
