Abstract
Using the degeneration formula and absolute/relative correspondence, we study the change of Gromov–Witten invariants under blow-ups for smooth projective threefolds, and obtain several closed blow-up formulae for high genus Gromov–Witten invariants. Our formulae also imply some simple relations among generalized BPS numbers.
