Abstract
- We study stable maps to normal crossings pairs with possibly negative tangency orders. There are two independent models: punctured Gromov-Witten theory of pairs and orbifold Gromov-Witten theory of root stacks with extremal ages. Exploiting the tropical structure of the punctured mapping space, we define and study a new virtual class for the punctured theory. This arises as a refined intersection product on the Artin fan, and produces a distinguished sector of punctured Gromov-Witten invariants. Restricting to genus zero, we show that these invariants coincide with the orbifold invariants, first for smooth pairs, and then for normal crossings pairs after passing to a sufficiently refined blowup. This builds on previous work to provide a complete picture of the logarithmic-orbifold comparison in genus zero, which is compatible with splitting and thus allows for the wholesale importation of orbifold techniques, including boundary recursion and torus localisation. Contemporaneous work of Johnston uses the comparison to give a new proof of the associativity of the Gross-Siebert intrinsic mirror ring.<br />Comment: 50 pages.
