Simple examples of Gromov-Witten invariants not being enumerative
I understand why Gromov-Witten invariants in general are not enumerative, so it's not necessary to explain this. However to test something I'm working on, I'm looking for examples of concrete ...

Reference request for Gromov-Witten Invariants of non compact manifolds
The title of my question essentially explains what I am looking for, but let elaborate a bit, to put it in a more specific context.
There are quite a few papers, where the authors compute Gromov-...

De Jonquières formula vs. Relative GW invariants
Background. Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$. Denote by $C^d$ its d-th symmetric product and by $G^r_d(C)$ its associated variety
of linear series of type $\mathfrak{g}^r_d$, i.e.
$$ ...

How does one define Moduli spaces in Symplectic Geometry and naively interpret higher genus GW Invariants?
This is a very basic question about the definition of Moduli space of maps.
My reason for asking this question is because I haven't actually seen this
definition explicitly given anywhere, and hence ...

Are genus zero Gromov Witten Invariants on Del-Pezzo surfaces enumerative?
Let $X_k$ be $\mathbb{P}^2$ blown up at $k$ points (where $k$ is $0$ to
$8$). Let $\beta \in H_2(X_k, \mathbb{Z})$ be the homology class given by
$$ \beta := n L + m_1 E_1 + \ldots + m_k E_k $$

What are the indecomposable classes on a del-Pezzo surface?

Let $\beta \in H_2(X_k, \mathbb{Z}) $ be a homology class given by

Question on Ionel and Parker's paper: Relative Gromov Witten Invariants
In defining Gromov-Witten invariants using symplectic geometry, most of the trouble is to achieve transversality for moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves which are multiple covers of simple ones....

Is P^2 important in Kontsevich's recursion formula?
There is a famous recursion formula by Kontsevich to find the number of
genus zero degree $d$ curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ through $3d-1$ points.
My question is the following: Let $S$ be a complex ...
