Abstract

In [Dürr, Kabanov, Okonek, Topology 46: 225–294, 2007] we constructed virtual fundamental classes for Hilbert schemes of divisors of topological type m on a surface V, and used these classes to define the Poincaré invariant of V:

We conjecture that this invariant coincides with the full Seiberg–Witten invariant computed with respect to the canonical orientation data.

In this note we prove that the existence of an integral curve CV induces relations between some of these virtual fundamental classes . The corresponding relations for the Poincaré invariant can be considered as algebraic analoga of the fundamental relations obtained in [Ozsváth, Szabó, Ann. of Math. 151: 93–124, 2000].
