Abstract

We state a wall-crossing formula for the virtual classes of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>ε</mml:mi> </mml:math> -stable quasimaps to GIT quotients and prove it for complete intersections in projective space, with no positivity restrictions on their first Chern class. As a consequence, the wall-crossing formula relating the genus <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> </mml:math> descendant Gromov-Witten potential and the genus <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> </mml:math> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>ε</mml:mi> </mml:math> -quasimap descendant potential is established. For the quintic threefold, our results may be interpreted as giving a rigorous and geometric interpretation of the holomorphic limit of the BCOV <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>B</mml:mi> </mml:math> -model partition function of the mirror family.
