Mirror principle is a general method developed in [LLY1]-[LLY4] to compute characteristic classes and characteristic numbers on moduli spaces of stable maps in terms of hypergeometric type series. The counting of the numbers of curves in Calabi-Yau manifolds from mirror symmetry corresponds to the computation of Euler numbers. This principle computes quite general Hirzebruch multiplicative classes such as the total Chern classes.

The purpose of this short article is to prove a product formula relating the log Gromov-Witten invariants of V×W with those of V and W in the case the log structure on V is trivial.

We give a definition of character sheaves on the group compactification which is equivalent to Lusztig's definition in [G. Lusztig, Parabolic character sheaves, II, Mosc. Math. J. 4 (4) (2004) 869896]. We also prove some properties of the character sheaves on the group compactification.

The double point relation defines a natural theory of algebraic cobordism for bundles on varieties. We construct a simple basis (over the rationals) of the corresponding cobordism groups over Spec(C) for all dimensions of varieties and ranks of bundles. The basis consists of split bundles over products of projective spaces. Moreover, we prove the full theory for bundles on varieties is an extension of scalars of standard algebraic cobordism.

We prove that all monomials of κ-classes and ψ-classes are independent in $R^k(\ocM_{g,n})/R^k(\partial\ocM_{g,n})$ for all k≤[g/3]. We also give a simple argument for κ_l≠0 in $R^l(\ocM_g)$ for l≤g−2.
