Abstract

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ and a smooth divisor $D \subset X$ , we study relative Gromov–Witten invariants of $(X, D)$ and the corresponding orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants of the $r^{th}$ root stack $X_{D, r}$ . For sufficiently large $r$ , we prove that orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants of $X_{D, r}$ are polynomials in $r$ . Moreover, higher-genus relative Gromov–Witten invariants of $(X, D)$ are exactly the constant terms of the corresponding higher-genus orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants of $X_{D, r}$ . We also provide a new proof for the equality between genus-zero relative and orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants, originally proved by Abramovich, Cadman and Wise (2017). When $r$ is sufficiently large and $X = C$ is a curve, we prove that stationary relative invariants of $C$ are equal to the stationary orbifold invariants in all genera.
