This package contains an implementation of the Atiyah-Bott residue formula for the moduli space of genus 0 stable maps in the Julia language. The theory behind the package and the algorithm are described in the paper "Effective computations of the Atiyah-Bott formula" by Giosuè Muratore and Csaba Schneider (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsc.2022.01.005).
Full documentation is available here: https://mgemath.github.io/AtiyahBott.jl/.

In order to install this package, type:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("AtiyahBott")

After the installation, simply type:

julia> using AtiyahBott

every time you want to use the program.

To use our code, you should first define the equivariant classes to be calculated as

julia> P = ...

After the "=", one has to write an expression in the equivariant classes. After P is defined, one has to call the Atiyah-Bott formula by the command

julia> AtiyahBottFormula(n,d,m,P);

The full list of the currently supported equivariant classes is the following:

O1_i(j)       (pull back of the line bundle O(1) with respect to the ev_j)
O1()           (product of all O1_i(j))
Incidency(r)    (class of curves meeting a linear subspace)
Hypersurface(b) (class of curves contained in a hypersurface of degree b)
Contact()        (class of contact curves)
R1(k)           (first derived functor of direct image of the pull back of O(-k))
Psi(a)        (cycle of psi-classes)
Jet(p,q)      (Euler class of the jet bundle J^p)

Brief descriptions on these functions can be obtained through the standard help functionality of Julia by typing "?" and then the name of the function.

help?> Psi

Note that computations can be faster using multi-threading. Visit https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/multi-threading/#man-multithreading to learn how to start Julia with multi-threading.

In the following we list some geometrically meaning computations.

To compute the number of rational plane curves of degree d through 3d−1 general points, one may write:

julia> d = 1; #for other values of d, change this line
julia> P = O1()^2;
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(2,d,3*d-1,P);

Alternatively, one can perform such computation with zero marked points by typing:

julia> P = Incidency(2)^(3*d-1);
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(2,d,0,P);

The virtual number of rational degree d curves on a general complete intersection of type (2,3) in the projective space of dimension 5:

julia> d = 1; #for other values of d, change this line
julia> P = Hypersurface([2,3]);
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(5,d,0,P);

The number of rational degree d curves on a cubic surface passing through d-1 points:

julia> d = 1; #for other values of d, change this line
julia> P = Hypersurface(3)*(Incidency(2)//3)^(d-1);
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(3,d,0,P);

The number plane rational degree d curves through 3d-2 points and tangent to a line:

julia> d = 1; #for other values of d, change this line
julia> P = Incidency(2)^(3*d-1)*Jet(1,1);
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(2,d,1,P);

The weighted number of genus 0 degree d covers of the projective line, which are étale over a fixed point and with 2d-2 fixed finite simple ramification points, is:

julia> d = 1; #for other values of d, change this line
julia> P = O1()*Psi(ones(Int,2*d-2));
julia> AtiyahBottFormula(1,d,2*d-2,P);

The following may be future expansions of this program.

• Support for positive genus curves.
• Improve parallel acceleration.
