%0 Journal Article %T Connected Gromov-Witten invariants of [Sym^n(A_r)] %A Wan Keng Cheong %A Amin Gholampour %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We explore the theory of connected Gromov-Witten invariants of the symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)]. We derive closed-form expressions for all equivariant invariants with two insertions and reveal a natural correspondence between the theory and the relative Gromov-Witten theory of the threefold A_r x P^1. When n is less than or equal to 3, we determine 3-point (usual) Gromov-Witten invariants of [Sym^n(A_1)]. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1536v2
