Taubes's Gromov invariant is a concept from symplectic geometry and gauge theory, particularly associated with the study of pseudo-holomorphic curves and their index theory. The invariant is named after mathematician Claude Taubes, who introduced it in his work on the relationships between symplectic manifolds and four-manifolds.
