Counting (tropical) curves via scattering.sage

Abstract

In this note I will explain how relative/log Gromov-Witten invariants of pairs $(X,D)$ with very ample smooth anticanonical divisor $D$ can be computed using algebro-combinatorial objects called scattering diagrams. The underlying principle behind this computational method is a tropical correspondence theorem for non-toric cases, which I will explain briefly. By computing some examples I will give an introduction to a sage code that I wrote for computing scattering diagrams.
