Abstract

If X⊂Y is a nonsingular curve in a Calabi–Yau threefold 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.
