Abstract

Let $\mathcal{X}_1$ and $\mathcal{X}_2$ be smooth proper Deligne–Mumford stacks with projective coarse moduli spaces. We prove a formula expressing Gromov–Witten invariants of the product stack $\mathcal{X}_1 \times \mathcal{X}_2$ in terms of Gromov–Witten invariants of the factors $\mathcal{X}_1$ and $\mathcal{X}_2$. As an application, we deduce a decomposition result for Gromov–Witten theory of trivial gerbes.
