Relative Gromov-Witten invariants and tropical geometry
by
Andreas Gathmann
Technische Universität Kaiserslautern
Coauthors: Hannah Markwig

In complex geometry Caporaso and Harris have shown that the theory of relative Gromov-Witten invariants can be used to compute the numbers of plane curves of given genus g and degree d passing through 3d+g-1 general points. We will show how this result can be reinterpreted and reproven in the language of tropical geometry.
