Fix a compact, symplectic four-manifold ($X$, $omega$).



Recall Taubes' Gromov invariant is a certain integer-valued function on $H^2(X; mathbbZ)$ defined by weighted counts of pseudoholomorphic curves in $X$. In particular, this count combines curves of any genus.



On the other hand, the Gromov-Witten invariants for a fixed genus $g$ and homology class $A in H_2(X; mathbbZ)$ are (very roughly) integers derived from the "fundamental class" of the moduli space $mathcalM_g^A(X)$ of pseudoholomorphic maps from a surface of genus $g$ into $X$ representing the class $A$.



Is there any sort of relationship, conjectural or otherwise, between these two invariants that is stronger than "they both count holomorphic curves"? Of course, this would require looking at Gromov-Witten invariants for any genus $g$. I personally don't understand the best way to define these for genus $g > 0$. I do understand that Zinger has a construction for $g = 1$ that is a bit more refined than looking at the entire moduli space.
