Yau–Zaslow formula on K3 surfaces for non-primitive classes

Junho Lee and Naichung Conan Leung

Geometry & Topology 9 (2005) 1977–2012

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2005.9.1977

Abstract

We compute the genus zero family Gromov–Witten invariants for K3 surfaces using the topological recursion formula and the symplectic sum formula for a degeneration of elliptic K3 surfaces. In particular we verify the Yau–Zaslow formula for non-primitive classes of index two.

Keywords

family Gromov–Witten invariants, Yau–Zaslow formula, symplectic sum formula, topological recursion relation, K3 surface
