Abstract

Let \(\mathsf {X}\) be a compact symplectic orbifold groupoid with \(\mathsf {S}\) being a compact symplectic sub-orbifold groupoid, and \({\underline{\mathsf {X}}_{\mathfrak {a}}}\) be the weight-\({\mathfrak {a}}\) blowup of \(\mathsf {X}\) along \(\mathsf {S}\) with \(\mathsf {Z}\) being the exceptional divisor. We show that there is a weighted-blowup correspondence between some certain absolute orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants of \(\mathsf {X}\) relative to \(\mathsf {S}\) and some certain relative orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants of the pair \(({\underline{\mathsf {X}}_{\mathfrak {a}}}|\mathsf {Z})\). As an application, we prove that the symplectic uniruledness of symplectic orbifold groupoids is a weighted-blowup invariant.

Notes

  1. Here \({\overline{\mathsf {N}}}\) is the projectification of the normal bundle of \(\mathsf {Z}\) in \({\underline{\mathsf {X}}_{\mathfrak {a}}}\), hence the \({\overline{\mathsf {N}}}_\mathsf {Z}\) in (6.12).
