Our results agree with B-model computations from solutions of Picard-Fuchs differential equations constructed form the local geometry near a Fano surface within a Calabi-Yau manifold. We interpret the Gromov-Witten-type numbers from an enumerative point of view. We also describe the geometry of singular surfaces and show how the local invariants of singular surfaces agree with the smooth cases when they occur as complete intersections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "1999-06-11T02:51:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local mirror symmetry", "calculations", "picard-fuchs differential equations constructed form", "interpretations", "singular surfaces agree" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 60, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 496304, "adsabs": "1999hep.th....3053C" } } }
