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 ...

Is there a formula for the number of rational cuspidal curves in surfaces other than P^2?

Let $M$ be a two dimensional compact complex manifold and $A \in H_2(M, \mathbb{Z})$ a fixed homology class. Define a rational curve in $M$ to be $\textit{1-cuspidal}$ if the singularities of the ...

Are there ways to make low degree checks for enumerative formulas except for curves in CP^2?

This is a concrete question in Enumerative geometry. Let $S$ be a compact complex surface and $L\rightarrow S$ a holomorphic line bundle. Let $$ \delta_d = \text{dim}~ \mathbb{P}(H^0(S,L^d)) $$ ...

Does any one understand the details of M Kazarian's work in enumerative geometry of $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$ ?

I wanted to know if anyone understood the details of the paper "Multisingularities, cobordisms, and enumerative geometry" available at the site http://www.mi.ras.ru/~kazarian/. In particular does ...
