Abstract
Given a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact K¨ahler manifold X,
one defines twisted Gromov-Witten invariants of X to be intersection numbers
in moduli spaces of stable maps f :Σ→ X with the cap product of the virtual
fundamental class and a chosen multiplicative invertible characteristic class of
the virtual vector bundle H

E). Using the formalism of
quantized quadratic Hamiltonians [25], we express the descendant potential
for the twisted theory in terms of that for X. This result (Theorem 1) is
a consequence of Mumford’s Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem applied to
the universal family over the moduli space of stable maps. It determines all
twisted Gromov-Witten invariants, of all genera, in terms of untwisted invari-
ants.
When E is concave and the C
×
-equivariant inverse Euler class is chosen
as the characteristic class, the twisted invariants of X give Gromov-Witten
invariants of the total space of E. “Nonlinear Serre duality” [21], [23] expresses
Gromov-Witten invariants of E in terms of those of the super-manifold ΠE:
it relates Gromov-Witten invariants of X twisted by the inverse Euler class
and E to Gromov-Witten invariants of X twisted by the Euler class and E
∗
.
We derive from Theorem 1 nonlinear Serre duality in a very general form
(Corollary 2).
When the bundle E is convex and a submanifold Y ⊂ X is defined by
a global section of E, the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of ΠE coin-
cide with those of Y . We establish a “quantum Lefschetz hyperplane section
principle” (Theorem 2) expressing genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a
complete intersection Y in terms of those of X. This extends earlier results
[4], [9], [18], [29], [33] and yields most of the known mirror formulas for toric
complete intersections.

can be stated [20] as the coincidence of the 2-dimensional cones over the

The new proof given in this paper shares with earlier work [9], [18], [21],
[29], [33], [35] the formulation of sphere-counting in a hypersurface Y ⊂ X as
a problem in the Gromov-Witten theory of X.
Gromov-Witten invariants of a compact almost-K¨ahler manifold X are
defined as intersection numbers in moduli spaces X
g,n,d
of stable pseudo-
holomorphic maps f :Σ→ X. Most results in this paper can be stated
and hold true in this generality (see Appendix 2 in [11]): the only exceptions
are those discussed in Sections 9 and 10 which depend on equation (19). We
prefer however to stay on the firmer ground of algebraic geometry, where the
majority of applications belong.
Given a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact projective complex
manifold X and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class c of complex
vector bundles, we introduce twisted Gromov-Witten invariants as intersection
indices in X
g,n,d
with the characteristic classes c(E
g,n,d
) of the virtual bundles
E

E)”. The “quantum Riemann-Roch theorem”
(Theorem 1) expresses twisted Gromov-Witten invariants (of any genus) and
their gravitational descendants via untwisted ones.
The totality of gravitational descendants in the genus-zero Gromov-Witten
theory of X can be encoded by a semi-infinite cone L
X
in the cohomology alge-
bra of X with coefficients in the field of Laurent series in 1/z (see §6). Another
such cone corresponds to each twisted theory. Let L
E
be the cone correspond-
ing to the total Chern class
c(·)=λ
dim(·)
+ c

(·)λ
dim(·)−1

(·).
Theorem 1 specialized to this case says that the cones L
X
and L
E
are related
by a linear transformation. It is described in terms of the stationary phase
asymptotics a

as multiplication in the cohomology algebra by
i
a
ρ
i
(z), where ρ
i
are the
Chern roots of E.
Assuming E to be a line bundle, we derive a “quantum hyperplane section
theorem” (Theorem 2). It is more general than the earlier versions [4], [29],
[18], [33] in the sense that the restrictions t ∈ H
≤2
(X; Q) on the space of
parameters and c
1
(E) ≤ c
1
(X) on the Fano index are removed.
In the quintic case when X = CP
4
and ρ =5P , the cone L
X
is known to
contain the curve
J
X
(t)=

and Theorem 2 implies that the cone L

contains the curve

.
One obtains the quintic mirror formula by passing to the limit λ =0.
The idea of deriving mirror formulas by applying the Grothendieck-
Riemann-Roch theorem to universal stable maps is not new. Apparently this
was the initial plan of M. Kontsevich back in 1993. In 2000, we had a chance
to discuss a similar proposal with R. Pandharipande. We would like to thank
these authors as well as A. Barnard and A. Knutson for helpful conversations,
and the referee for many useful suggestions.
The second author is grateful to D. van Straten for the invitation to the
workshop “Algebraic aspects of mirror symmetry” held at Kaiserslautern in
June 2001. The discussions at the workshop and particularly the lectures on
“Variations of semi-infinite Hodge structures” by S. Barannikov proved to be
very useful in our work on this project.
1. Generating functions
Let X be a compact projective complex manifold of complex dimension D.
Denote by X
g,n,d
the moduli orbispace of genus-g, n-pointed stable maps [7],
[31] to X of degree d, where d ∈ H
2
(X; Z). The moduli space is compact and
can be equipped [8], [34], [38] with a (rational-coefficient) virtual fundamental
cycle [X
g,n,d
] of complex dimension n +(1− g)(D − 3) +
d
c

(TX).
The total descendant potential of X is a generating function for Gromov-
Witten invariants. It is defined as

Let E be a holomorphic vector bundle over X. We associate to it an ele-
ment E

:= [E

]
in the Grothendieck group of bundles does not depend on the choice of the
complex. These facts are based on some standard results about local complete
intersection morphisms, and are discussed further in Appendix 1.
A rational invertible multiplicative characteristic class of complex vector
bundles takes the form
c(·) = exp

where ch

vector bundle E ∈ K

(X)overX, we define the (c,E)-twisted descendant
potentials D
c,E
and F
g
c,E
by replacing the virtual fundamental cycles [X
g,n,d
]
in (1) and (2) with the cap-products c(E
g,n,d
) ∩ [X
g,n,d
]. For example, the
Poincar´e intersection pairing arises in Gromov-Witten theory as an intersec-
tion index in X

= X, and in the twisted theory therefore takes on the

We will often assume that all vector bundles carry the S
1
-action given
by fiberwise multiplication by the unitary scalars. In this case the ch
k
should
be understood as S
1
-equivariant characteristic classes, and all Gromov-Witten
invariants take values in the coefficient ring of S
1

ory. We will always identify this ring H

(BS

first Chern class of the line bundle O(1) over CP
∞
.
2. Quantization formalism
Theorem 1 below expresses D
c,E
in terms of D
X
via the formalism of
quantized quadratic Hamiltonians [25], which we now outline. Consider H =
H
∗
(X; Q) as a super-space equipped with the nondegenerate symmetric bi-
linear form defined by the Poincar´e intersection pairing (a, b)=
X
ab. Let
H = H(( z
−1
)) denote the super-space of Laurent polynomials in 1/z with coef-
ficients in H, where the indeterminate z is regarded as even. We equip H with
the even symplectic form
Ω(f, g):=
1
2πi
(f(−z), g(z)) dz
= −(−1)
¯
f
¯
g
Ω(g, f ).
The polarization H = H

=
H[z], H
−

−1
H[[z
−1
]] identifies (H, Ω) with the cotangent bundle T
∗
H
+
.
The standard quantization convention associates to quadratic Hamiltoni-
ans G on (H, Ω) differential operators
ˆ
G of order ≤ 2 acting on functions on
H
+
. More precisely, let {q
α
} be a Z
2
-graded coordinate system on H
+
and
{p
α
} be the dual coordinate system on H
−
, so that the symplectic structure
in these coordinates assumes the Darboux form
Ω(f, g)=
α
[p
α
(f)q
α
(g) − (−1)
¯p
α
¯q

For example, when H is the standard one-dimensional Euclidean space then
f =

is such a coordinate system. In a Darboux coor-

The quantization gives only a projective representation of the Lie algebra of
quadratic Hamiltonians on H as differential operators. For quadratic Hamil-
tonians F and G we have

We associate the quadratic Hamiltonian h

symplectic transformation T , and write
ˆ
T for the quantization

In what follows, we will often apply symplectic transformations exp T in

invariants — that is to certain formal functions of q = q

and — which we refer to as asymptotic elements of the Fock space. In fact
the quantized symplectic transformations that we will use do not have a con-
venient common domain that includes all the formal functions which we will
need. We will therefore not describe any “Fock space”, but instead regularly
indicate those special circumstances that make the application of particular
quantized symplectic transformations to particular generating functions well-
defined. Such special circumstances usually involve -adic convergence with
respect to some auxiliary formal parameters (such as s
k
in Corollary 3, 1/λ in
(12), Q in (13), etc.). The key point here is that our formulas provide unam-
biguous rules for transforming generating functions (and their coefficients): the
description of these rules as symplectic transformations or their quantizations
remains merely a convenient interpretation
2
.
Let us begin by setting up notation for such an interpretation. We will
assume that the ground field Q of constants is extended to the Novikov ring
Q[[Q]], or to Q[[Q]] ⊗ Q(λ) in the S
1
-equivariant setting, and will denote the
ground ring by Λ. The potentials F
g
X
(t

functions on the space of vector polynomials t(z)=t
0

where t

X
is simply the
formal expression exp
g−1
F
g
X
defined by these formal functions. It cannot
be viewed as a formal function of and t because of the presence of
−1
-
and
0
-terms in the exponent. The reader uncomfortable with this situation
could note that the formal functions F
0
X
and F

X
when reduced modulo Q
contain only terms which are respectively at-least-cubic and at-least-linear in
2
This approach, somewhat resembling the terminology in the theory of formal groups, is
not the only one possible. We refer to Section 8 in [26] where the class of tame asymptotic
functions (convenient for the purposes of that paper) is introduced.

21
the variables t
i
, and that D
X
can therefore be considered as a formal function
of , t/ and Q/. This point of view will, however, play no role in what
follows.
We regard the total descendant potential (1) as an asymptotic element of
the Fock space via the identification
q(z)=t(z) − z(5)
which we call the dilaton shift. The twisted descendant potentials D
c,E
can be
similarly considered as asymptotic elements of Fock spaces corresponding to
the super-space H equipped with the twisted inner products (4). Alternatively,
we can identify the inner product spaces (H, (·, ·)
c(E)
) with (H, (·, ·)) by means
of the maps a → a
c(E), hence considering the twisted descendant potentials
D
c,E
as asymptotic elements of the original Fock space via the twisted dilaton
shift:
q(z)=
c(E)(t(z) − z).(6)
We thus obtain a formal family D
s
:= D
c,E
of asymptotic elements of the Fock
space depending on the parameters s =(s

, ) from (3). Note that,
due to the dilaton shift, D
s
is a formal function of q defined near the shifted
origin q(z)=−
c(E)z, which varies with s.
3. Quantum Riemann-Roch
Let us identify z with the first Chern class of the universal line bundle
L and denote by · the one-dimensional subspace spanned by the asymptotic
element “·” of the Fock space.

this case turns into Theorem 4.1 in [25] and is a reformulation in terms of the
formalism explained in Section 2 of the results of Mumford [36] and Faber-
Pandharipande [16]. The proof of Theorem 1 is based on a similar applica-
tion of Mumford’s Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch argument to our somewhat
more general situation. The argument was doubtless known to the authors of
[16]. The main new observation here is that the combinatorics of the result-
ing formula, which appears at first sight rather complicated, fits nicely with
the formalism of quantized quadratic Hamiltonians. A verification of this —
somewhat tedious but straightforward — is presented in Appendix 1.
4. The Euler class
The S
1
-equivariant Euler class of E is written in terms of the (nonequiv-
ariant) Chern roots ρ

as
e(E)=
i
(λ + ρ

).
Using the identity (λ + x) = exp(ln λ −

the components of the nonequivariant Chern character:
