1 Introduction
Over the last twenty-five years, there have been a number of important developments that have advanced our understanding of Gromov–Witten (GW) theory. Among these results, the genus-zero mirror theorems have provided closed formulas for the genus-zero GW potentials of a large number of target geometries [Reference GiventalGiv98, Reference Lian, Liu and YauLLY97, Reference BertramBer00, Reference Ciocan-Fontanine and KimCK14], and Teleman’s classification theorem for semisimple cohomological field theories [Reference TelemanTel12] has led to explicit formulas for all-genus partition functions in terms of Givental’s quantization formula [Reference GiventalGiv01a, Reference GiventalGiv01b]. One of the most important remaining open problems is to understand the all-genus partition functions of non-semisimple cohomological field theories, of which the GW theory of the quintic $3$ -fold $X:=V(W=x_{0}^{5}+\cdots +x_{4}^{5})\subseteq \mathbb{P}^{4}$ is the prototypical example.
The Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau (LG/CY) correspondence, which first arose in the study of string theory [Reference Greene, Vafa and WarnerGVW89, Reference Vafa and WarnerVW89, Reference Martinec, Brink, Friedan and PolyakovMar89], suggests an equivalence between the GW theory of a CY hypersurface and the LG model of the defining equation of the hypersurface. The latter model is now mathematically understood in terms of Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten (FJRW) invariants. In the case of the quintic $3$ -fold, Chiodo and Ruan proved that the genus-zero GW theory of $X$ can be identified with the genus-zero FJRW theory of the polynomial $W$ after analytic continuation and an explicit linear symplectic transformation $\mathbb{U}$ [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10].
Motivated by Givental’s quantization formula, Chiodo and Ruan suggested that the geometric quantization $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}$ , which is an explicit differential operator constructed from $\mathbb{U}$ , should identify the higher-genus GW and FJRW partition functions after analytic continuation. The genus-zero restriction of their quantization conjecture follows from the fact that $\mathbb{U}$ identifies the genus-zero theories. The main result of this work is the genus-one verification of Chiodo and Ruan’s all-genus LG/CY conjecture.
Main Result Theorem 3.3 . The genus-one potential determined by the action of $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}$ on the Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten partition function of $W=x_{0}^{5}+\cdots +x_{4}^{5}$ is equal to the analytic continuation of the genus-one Gromov–Witten potential of the quintic $3$ -fold $X=V(W)$ .
The theorem is significant for several reasons. First of all, it provides the first evidence for the higher-genus LG/CY correspondence. It has been suggested that the LG model could be instrumental in computing higher-genus GW invariants of the quintic $3$ -fold, and this theorem lends validity to that approach. Secondly, the theorem gives evidence for a general ‘genus zero controls higher genus’ principle, in the sense of Givental, in which a correspondence between all-genus partition functions is determined by a genus-zero correspondence through an explicit quantization procedure. While such a principle has been studied extensively and proved in many cases for semisimple cohomological field theories, for example [Reference TelemanTel12, Reference GiventalGiv01b, Reference Brini, Cavalieri and RossBCR13, Reference ZongZon15, Reference Coates and IritaniCI18, Reference He, Li, Shen and WebbHLSW15, Reference Iritani, Milanov, Ruan and ShenIMRS16], this is the first significant evidence for such a principle in the non-semisimple case.
1.1 Plan of the paper
We begin in § 2 by recalling the basic definitions in GW and FJRW theory. We recall some previously known results, including the genus-zero mirror theorems, the genus-zero LG/CY correspondence, and the genus-one mirror theorems. In § 3 we discuss the Birkhoff factorization of the symplectomorphism $\mathbb{U}$ and recall Givental’s quantization formulas in order to make Theorem 3.3 precise. We also apply the string and dilaton equations to reduce the main theorem to the one-parameter ‘small state space’. In § 4 we provide a proof of the genus-zero restriction of the quantization conjecture, mostly in order to set up notation for the genus-one correspondence. The proof of the genus-one correspondence occupies §§ 5, 6, and 7, where we carefully analyze the vertex- and loop-type graphs that appear in the quantization formula.
2 Recapitulation of global mirror symmetry for the quintic $3$ -fold
In this section we review the basic setup of GW and FJRW invariants, and we recall previously known mirror theorems concerning the genus-zero and genus-one invariants.
2.1 Review of Gromov–Witten theory
Let $X$ denote the Fermat quintic $3$ -fold,
and let $\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,n}(X,d)$ denote the moduli space of $n$ -pointed, genus- $g$ , degree- $d$ stable maps to $X$ . GW invariants of $X$ encode virtual intersection numbers
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{i}\in H^{\ast }(X,\mathbb{C})$ , $\operatorname{ev}_{i}:\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,n}(X,d)\rightarrow X$ is the $i$ th evaluation map, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}_{i}$ is the descendent cotangent-line class, and $[-]^{\text{vir}}$ is the virtual fundamental class. The correlators defined in (1) are multilinear and symmetric. For the purposes of this paper, we focus on the ambient sector $H^{\text{CY}}\subset H^{\ast }(X,\mathbb{C})$ of the state space, obtained by restricting the cohomological insertions to the image of the restriction map:
A natural basis for $H^{\text{CY}}$ is given by $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{0},\ldots ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{3}\}$ , where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}$ is the pullback of $c_{1}({\mathcal{O}}(1))^{m}$ under the inclusion $X{\hookrightarrow}\mathbb{P}^{4}$ . The genus- $g$ GW potential is defined by
where
We view the set of variables $\mathbf{t}=\{t_{k}^{m}\}$ as formal parameters,Footnote 1 and we write $\mathbf{t}(z)$ when we want to emphasize the role of $z$ . The sum is taken over all indices for which the underlying moduli space is non-empty. The GW partition function is defined by
Following Givental [Reference GiventalGiv04], we define an infinite-dimensional vector space
with symplectic form
where $(-,-)^{\text{CY}}$ denotes the Poincaré pairing on $X$ . Let $(\mathbf{q},\mathbf{p})$ be the Darboux coordinates on ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ with respect to the basis $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}z^{k}$ , so that a general element of ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ can be written
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}^{m}$ is Poincaré dual to $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}$ . Viewing $F_{0}(\mathbf{t})$ as a formal function on ${\mathcal{H}}_{+}^{\text{CY}}:=H^{\text{CY}}[z]$ via the dilaton shift
the genus-zero GW invariants are encoded in a Lagrangian subspace ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ , defined as the graph of the differential of $F_{0}^{\text{CY}}$ :
A general point of ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ has the form
Givental proved that ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ is a cone centered at the origin, and that every tangent space $T$ is tangent to ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ exactly along $zT$ . In particular, ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ (and hence, the totality of genus-zero GW invariants) is determined by the finite-dimensional slice
where $t=\sum _{0\leqslant m\leqslant 3}t^{m}\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}$ . The properties of the cone imply that
whereFootnote 2
In the particular case of the quintic $3$ -fold $X$ , even more is true. It follows from dimension arguments along with the string and dilaton equations that ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{CY}}$ is, in fact, determined by the one-dimensional slice along the small state space $t=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}$ :
By a slight abuse of notation, we often drop $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}$ in the notation when we restrict to the small state space: $J^{\text{CY}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F},-z):=J^{\text{CY}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1},-z)$ .
2.2 Review of Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten theory
Let $\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,\vec{m}}^{1/5}$ denote the moduli space of stable $5$ -spin curves with $n$ orbifold marked points having multiplicities $\vec{m}=(m_{1},\ldots ,m_{n})$ . More precisely, a point in $\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,\vec{m}}^{1/5}$ parameterizes a tuple $(C,q_{1},\ldots ,q_{n},L,\unicode[STIX]{x1D705})$ where
– $(C,q_{1},\ldots ,q_{n})$ is a stable orbifold curve with $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{5}$ orbifold structure at all marks and nodes;
– $L$ is an orbifold line bundle on $C$ and the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{5}$ -representation $L|_{q_{i}}$ is multiplication by $\text{e}^{2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}\text{i}m_{i}/5}$ ;
– $\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}$ is an isomorphism
$$\begin{eqnarray}\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}:L^{\otimes 5}\cong \unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{C,\log }.\end{eqnarray}$$
The (narrow) FJRW invariants of the quintic $3$ -fold encode the intersection numbers
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}_{i}$ is the $i$ th cotangent line class on the coarse curve, and $[-]^{\text{vir}}$ is the fifth power of the Witten class associated to the quintic $3$ -fold.Footnote 3 By convention, the correlators (2) vanish if $m_{i}=4$ for any $i$ . We let $H^{\text{LG}}$ denote the narrow state space, which is the complex vector space generated by the formal symbols $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0},\ldots ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{3}$ and with a non-degenerate pairing defined by $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{i},\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{j})^{\text{LG}}=5\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{i+j=3}$ .Footnote 4
Analogously to GW theory, we define formal generating series $F_{g}^{\text{LG}}(\mathbf{t})$ and ${\mathcal{D}}^{\text{LG}}(\mathbf{t})$ , we define a vector space ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{LG}}$ with symplectic form $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}^{\text{LG}}$ , and we define a Lagrangian subspace ${\mathcal{L}}^{\text{LG}}\subset {\mathcal{H}}^{\text{LG}}$ which is determined by the slice $J^{\text{LG}}(t,-z)$ via the derivatives $S^{\text{LG}}(t,z)^{\ast }$ . As in GW theory, the totality of genus-zero FJRW invariants are determined by the one-dimensional slice
2.3 Genus-zero mirror theorems and the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence
Define $I$ -functions $I^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q},z)\in {\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ and $I^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},z)\in {\mathcal{H}}^{\text{LG}}$ by
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}^{k}:=\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{k}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{4}=0$ , and
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}=0$ .Footnote 5
The leading $z$ -coefficients of the $I$ -functions are especially important:
and
The genus-zero mirror theorems, conjectured by Candelas, de la Ossa, Green, and Parkes [Reference Candelas, de la Ossa, Green and ParkesCdlOGP91] in the GW setting and Huang, Klemm, and Quackenbush [Reference Huang, Klemm, Quackenbush, Schlesinger, Kreuzer and KapustinHKQ08] in the FJRW setting, provide an explicit solution to genus-zero GW and FJRW invariants in terms of the respective I-functions.
Theorem 2.1 (Givental [Reference GiventalGiv98], Lian, Liu, and Yau [Reference Lian, Liu and YauLLY97]).
Setting
we have
Theorem 2.2 (Chiodo and Ruan [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10]).
Setting
we have
Chiodo and Ruan also studied the relationship between the respective $I$ -functions. They proved the following theorem, which verifies the genus-zero LG/CY correspondence for the quintic $3$ -fold.
Theorem 2.3 (Chiodo and Ruan [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10]).
Define a linear transformation $\mathbb{U}(-z):{\mathcal{H}}^{\text{LG}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ by
Then $\mathbb{U}(z)$ is symplectic and, upon identifying $\mathfrak{q}^{-1}=\mathfrak{t}^{5}$ , there exists an analytic continuation of $I^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q},z)$ such that
From the discussion above, it follows that Theorem 2.3 can be rephrased as the statement that the symplectomorphism $\mathbb{U}(z)$ identifies Givental’s Lagrangian cones upon analytic continuation. Following ideas due to Givental, Chiodo and Ruan wrote in [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10] that
the quantization $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}$ is a differential operator which we expect to yield the full higher genus Gromov–Witten partition function when applied to the full higher genus Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten partition function.
In other words, Chiodo and Ruan conjectured that the higher-genus LG/CY correspondence can be formulated as an explicit relationship, depending only on genus-zero data, between the GW and FJRW partition functions. In § 3 below, we make this conjecture more explicit, and we give a precise statement of our main result, which proves the genus-one part of their conjecture.
2.4 Genus-one mirror theorems
Our proof of the genus-one LG/CY correspondence relies on the genus-one mirror theorems. In GW theory, the genus-one mirror theorem was conjectured by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri, and Vafa [Reference Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and VafaBCOV94] and originally proved by Zinger [Reference ZingerZin09] (by combining the results in Kim and Lho [Reference Kim and LhoKL18] and Ciocan, Fontanine, and Kim [Reference Ciocan-Fontanine and KimCFK16], there is also a new proof using quasimap techniques).
Theorem 2.4 (Zinger [Reference ZingerZin09]).
Setting
we have
In FJRW theory, the genus-one mirror theorem was conjectured by Huang, Klemm, and Quackenbush [Reference Huang, Klemm, Quackenbush, Schlesinger, Kreuzer and KapustinHKQ08] and proved by the authors [Reference Guo and RossGR19].
Theorem 2.5 (Guo and Ross [Reference Guo and RossGR19]).
Setting
we have
3 Birkhoff factorization and geometric quantization
In order to make the higher-genus LG/CY correspondence more explicit, we write the linear transformation $\mathbb{U}(z)$ as a matrix in the bases $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{m}\}$ and $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}\}$ . Following Coates and Ruan [Reference Coates and RuanCR13], we consider the Birkhoff factorization of the matrix $\mathbb{U}(z)$ ,
where $\mathbb{U}_{-}=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z^{-1})$ is upper triangular, $\mathbb{U}_{+}=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z)$ is lower triangular, and $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ is a diagonal matrix that is constant in $z$ . By analogy with Givental [Reference GiventalGiv01a], we define
and
so that
We view $R$ and $S$ as linear automorphisms of ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ , and $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ as a linear identification of ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{LG}}$ and ${\mathcal{H}}^{\text{CY}}$ . Since $\mathbb{U}$ is symplectic (i.e. $\mathbb{U}(z)\mathbb{U}(-z)^{\ast }=1$ , where the asterisk denotes adjoint), it is not hard to see that $S$ , $R$ , and $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ are also symplectic:
Consider the geometric quantizations $\widehat{R}$ , $\widehat{S}^{-1}$ , and $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}_{0}$ , defined, for example, in [Reference GiventalGiv01a]. These are differential operators, which can be computed explicitly by the following result.
Theorem 3.1 (Givental [Reference GiventalGiv01a]).
Let $\mathbf{q}(z)=q_{k}^{m}\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}z^{k}$ be coordinates on ${\mathcal{H}}_{+}^{\text{CY}}$ . Given a partition function ${\mathcal{D}}(\mathbf{q})$ on ${\mathcal{H}}_{+}^{\text{CY}}$ , the quantized operators act as follows.
(i) The quantization of $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ acts by
$$\begin{eqnarray}\widehat{\mathbb{U}}_{0}\;{\mathcal{D}}(\mathbf{q})={\mathcal{D}}(\mathbb{U}_{0}^{-1}\mathbf{q}).\end{eqnarray}$$(ii) The quantization of $S^{-1}$ acts by
$$\begin{eqnarray}\widehat{S^{-1}}\;{\mathcal{D}}(\mathbf{q})=e^{W(\mathbf{q},\mathbf{q})/2\hbar }{\mathcal{D}}([S\mathbf{q}]_{+}),\end{eqnarray}$$where $[S\mathbf{q}]_{+}$ is the power series truncation of $S(z)\mathbf{q}(z)$ and the quadratic form $W(\mathbf{q},\mathbf{q})=\sum _{k,l}(W_{kl}q_{k},q_{l})^{\text{CY}}$ is defined by$$\begin{eqnarray}\mathop{\sum }_{k,l\geqslant 0}\frac{W_{kl}}{w^{k}z^{l}}:=\frac{S(w)^{\ast }S(z)-1}{w^{-1}+z^{-1}}.\end{eqnarray}$$(iii) The quantization of $R$ acts by
$$\begin{eqnarray}\widehat{R}\;{\mathcal{D}}(\mathbf{q})=[e^{(\hbar /2)V(\unicode[STIX]{x2202}/\unicode[STIX]{x2202}_{\mathbf{q}},\unicode[STIX]{x2202}/\unicode[STIX]{x2202}_{\mathbf{q}})}{\mathcal{D}}](R^{-1}\mathbf{q}),\end{eqnarray}$$where $R^{-1}\mathbf{q}$ is the power series $R^{-1}(z)\mathbf{q}(z)$ and the quadratic form $V=\sum _{k,l}(p_{k},V_{kl}p_{l})^{\text{CY}}$ is defined by$$\begin{eqnarray}V(w,z)=\mathop{\sum }_{k,l\geqslant 0}V_{kl}w^{k}z^{l}=\frac{1-R(-w)^{\ast }R(-z)}{w+z}.\end{eqnarray}$$
When a partition function is written in the coordinates $\mathbf{t}(z)$ , we apply the formulas in Theorem 3.1 by first identifying $\mathbf{t}(z)$ and $\mathbf{q}(z)$ via the dilaton shift:
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{0}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{0}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}$ depending on the context. To simplify notation, we introduce the convention
where $\mathbf{q}$ and $\mathbf{t}$ are related by the dilaton shift. It is important to notice that, even though we might start with a partition function that is a formal series centered at $\mathbf{t}(z)=0$ , the outcome of acting by the quantized operator may be divergent at $\mathbf{t}(z)=0$ .
The Chiodo–Ruan conjecture can be stated more explicitly in the following form.
Conjecture 3.2 (Chiodo and Ruan [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10]).
There exists an analytic continuation of ${\mathcal{D}}^{\text{CY}}$ such that
where the symbol ‘ $\propto$ ’ denotes equivalence up to a scalar multiple.
The main result of this paper is the following partial verification of Conjecture 3.2.
Theorem 3.3. Conjecture 3.2 holds for the genus-zero and genus-one potentials. In other words, there exist an analytic continuation and a constant $c$ such that, for $g\leqslant 1$ ,
Remark 3.4. In order to interpret the analytic continuation, we consider both sides as formal power series in the variables $\{t_{k}^{m}:(k,m)\neq (0,1)\}$ with coefficients that are analytic in $t_{0}^{1}$ , and we analytically continue coefficient by coefficient. Implicit in Conjecture 3.2 is the claim that both sides are analytic in $t_{0}^{1}$ . The question of whether genus- $g$ potentials are analytic is open in general. We verify the necessary convergence of genus-zero and genus-one potentials throughout the course of our arguments.
3.1 Quantized operators, potential functions, and graph sums
In order to investigate Theorem 3.3, we consider intermediate partition functions
Notice that $\overline{{\mathcal{D}}}^{\text{LG}}(\mathbf{q})$ is centered at $\mathbf{q}(z)=-\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}z$ while $\overline{{\mathcal{D}}}^{A}(\mathbf{q})$ , $\overline{{\mathcal{D}}}^{B}(\mathbf{q})$ , and $\overline{{\mathcal{D}}}^{C}(\mathbf{q})$ are centered at $\mathbf{q}(z)=-\mathbb{U}_{0}\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}z$ , $\mathbf{q}(z)=-R(z)\mathbb{U}_{0}\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}z$ , and $\mathbf{q}(z)=-[\mathbb{U}(z)\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}z]_{+}$ , respectively. For each partition function, we can write
Theorem 3.1 implies that the $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ -action is a change of variables:
The $R$ -action is more interesting. We have
The action of the exponential of the quadratic differential operator in (3) has a Feynman graph expansion, and the logarithm outputs only the connected graphs. Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ denote a connected graph consisting of vertices $V$ , edges $E$ , and legs $L$ , with each vertex $v$ labeled by a genus $g_{v}$ . For each $v$ , let $\operatorname{val}(v)$ be the total number of legs and edges adjacent to $v$ , define $g(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})=b_{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})+\sum _{v}g_{v}$ where $b_{1}$ denotes the first Betti number of the graph, let $F=\{v,e\}$ denote the set of flags, and let $F_{v}$ and $L_{v}$ denote the flags and legs adjacent to a vertex $v$ . We have
where
with vertices contributing
contracted along the edges by pairing with the $2$ -tensor
Including the $S$ -action, we have
where $\operatorname{Contr}(e)=\text{}\underline{\operatorname{Contr}}(e)$ , but we replace the vertex contributions with
where
3.2 String and dilaton equations
In this section, we show that the dilaton and string equations commute with quantization, allowing us to reduce Conjecture 3.2 to the small state space.
The dilaton equation asserts that, for $\bullet =\text{CY}$ or $\text{LG}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{m}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{m}$ , we have
whenever the moduli space on the right-hand side exists. The string equation asserts that
whenever the moduli space on the right-hand side exists. We interpret $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}^{-1}=0$ . In addition, by a virtual dimension count, the correlator $\langle \unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{m_{1}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}^{k_{1}}\cdots \unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{m_{n}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}^{k_{n}}\rangle _{g,n,(d)}^{\bullet }$ vanishes unless $\sum m_{i}+\sum k_{i}=n$ . Using this vanishing, it is not hard to see that ${\mathcal{D}}^{\bullet }(\mathbf{t})$ can be reconstructed from its restriction to $\mathbf{t}(z)=t_{0}^{1}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{1}$ by the dilaton and string equations and the initial conditions
The first initial condition in (4) can be computed directly from the definitions, while the second can be computed using the CohFT axioms (see, for example, [Reference Guo and RossGR19, §7.6]).
It is useful to rephrase the string and dilaton equations as differential operators. In terms of total descendent potentials, the dilaton equation can be rewritten as
and it is well known (see, for example, [Reference CoatesCoa03, Example 1.3.3.2]) that the string equation takes the form
Moreover, the equations (5) and (6) take into account the initial conditions (4), and thus determine ${\mathcal{D}}^{\bullet }(\mathbf{t})$ uniquely from its restriction to $\mathbf{t}(z)=t_{0}^{1}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{1}$ . The following compatibility is important in order to reduce Conjecture 3.2 to the small state space.
Lemma 3.5. The formal series $\widehat{S^{-1}}\widehat{R}\;\widehat{\mathbb{U}}_{0}\;\overline{{\mathcal{D}}}^{\text{LG}}(\mathbf{q})$ centered at $\mathbf{q}(z)=-[\mathbb{U}(z)\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0}z]_{+}$ satisfies the dilaton equation (5) and the string equation (6).
Proof. We start with the dilaton equation. We must prove
First of all, notice that the genus-zero shift $W(\mathbf{q},\mathbf{q})/2$ is annihilated by the operator in (7), simply because it is homogenous of degree $2$ in $\mathbf{q}$ . Next, notice that
Therefore, by applying the dilaton equation for FJRW invariants to each vertex in the graph sum expression of $\overline{F}_{g}^{C}(\mathbf{q})$ , along with fact that Euler characteristics add
we observe that
This proves (7).
We now verify the compatibility of the string equation. We must prove
By the string equation in FJRW theory, we know
Therefore, it suffices to check that $\widehat{1/z}$ commutes with $\widehat{S^{-1}}\widehat{R}\;\widehat{\mathbb{U}}_{0}.$ Clearly, $1/z$ commutes with each of $S^{-1}$ , $R$ , and $\mathbb{U}_{0}$ , but a little care must be taken because the quantization procedure is not an algebra homomorphism. However, by the formula for the cocycle given in [Reference CoatesCoa03, §1.3.4], we see immediately that the cocycle vanishes when we commute $\widehat{1/z}$ with $\widehat{S^{-1}}$ and $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}_{0}$ . Upon noticing that the linear-in- $z$ terms of $R$ are strictly above the diagonal, we also see from [Reference CoatesCoa03, Example 1.3.4.1] that the cocycle vanishes when we commute $\widehat{1/z}$ with $\widehat{R}$ . This proves (8).◻
Using the reconstruction by the dilaton and string equations, we can make the following reduction.
Corollary 3.6. In order to prove Conjecture 3.2, it suffices to prove the restriction
The rest of this paper is devoted to proving (9) in the case of genus-zero and genus-one potential functions. The analytic continuation in (9) is described as follows. By the $g\leqslant 1$ mirror theorems for GW invariants, $F_{g}^{\text{CY}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}})$ is an analytic function near $\mathfrak{q}=0$ . In the course of our arguments below, we verify that $F_{g}^{C}(\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}^{\text{CY}})$ is also an analytic function at $\mathfrak{t}=0$ . The analytic continuation of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}}$ in this expression can be computed explicitly by Theorem 2.3. Thus, the analytic continuation occurring in (9) occurs after substituting $t_{0}^{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}}$ and takes $F_{g}^{\text{CY}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}})$ from $\mathfrak{q}=0$ to $\mathfrak{t}=0$ along the same path that identifies $I$ -functions in Theorem 2.3.
4 Genus-zero correspondence and tail series
Our goal in this section is to prove the genus-zero correspondence in Theorem 3.3 and to set up some notation for studying generating series of rational tails that appear in the Feynman graph expansions for $F_{g}^{C}$ . We begin by recalling a few important points about genus-zero descendent invariants and semi-classical limits.
If $M(z)$ is a symplectomorphism such that $\widehat{M}{\mathcal{D}}^{\bullet }={\mathcal{D}}^{\star }$ , then a careful study of the genus-zero Feynman graphs (see, for example, [Reference Clader, Priddis and ShoemakerCPS13, §3.5]) implies that
where, as in § 2, the Lagrangian cone ${\mathcal{L}}$ is the differential of the genus-zero potential. In particular, by identifying the parts that have non-negative powers of $z$ , this implies that
where
Keep in mind that the change of variables $M\cdot \mathbf{q}(z)$ shifts the center of the power series. The next result is a consequence of Theorem 2.3.
Proposition 4.1. Setting $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{C}:=\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}^{\text{CY}}$ , we have
Proof. By (10), we see that
By Theorem 2.3, the left-hand side can be rewritten as
On the other hand, we have
which is centered at $T_{0}=T_{1}=0$ . Expanding as a Taylor series, we have
and the dilaton equation (7) implies that
Using the fact that, for $j\geqslant 2$ ,
we see that
concluding the proof. ◻
Remark 4.2. The identity (11) allows us to write $J^{C}$ , which is a priori centered at $T_{0}=T_{1}=0$ , as an analytic function at $\mathfrak{t}=0$ .
Corollary 4.3. We have the following genus-zero correspondence:
Proof. By Proposition 4.1
and all other partial derivatives vanish at $\mathbf{q}(z)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{C}\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}$ . Thus, applying the dilaton equation, we have
By Corollary 3.6, this completes the proof of Theorem 3.3 for $g=0$ .
4.1 Tail series
A significant portion of our analysis of the action of $\widehat{\mathbb{U}}$ on ${\mathcal{D}}^{\text{LG}}(\mathbf{t})$ concerns packaging genus-zero tails in the Feynman graph expansions introduced in § 3.1. More specifically, define
Before continuing, let us briefly parse the definition of $T(\mathbf{q},z)$ . First, since
we see that the partial derivatives
specify in each graph contribution a leg with a particular insertion on it. Contracting with $V(z,z_{f})$ and taking the residue turns the specified leg into a specified edge. Finally, applying $\mathbb{U}_{0}^{-1}$ and specializing the variables $\mathbf{q}(z)\rightarrow [S(z)\mathbf{q}(z)]_{+}$ , we see that $T(\mathbf{q},z)$ is the contribution of all possible genus-zero trees attaching to a specified vertex in the graph contribution for $\overline{F}^{C}(\mathbf{q})$ . Adding $\overline{\mathbf{q}}(z)$ simply corresponds to the contribution of the degenerate tree. We call $T(\mathbf{q},z)$ the tail series. The next lemma describes $T(\mathbf{q},z)$ explicitly.
Lemma 4.4. With notation as above, we have
Proof. We compute directly:
Therefore,
To obtain $T(\mathbf{q},z)$ from this, we multiply both sides by $\mathbb{U}_{0}^{-1}$ , substitute $\mathbf{q}(z)\rightarrow [S(z)\mathbf{q}(z)]_{+}$ , and add $\overline{\mathbf{q}}(z)$ , obtaining
5 Genus-one correspondence
In regard to the genus-one potential, there are two types of graphs which appear: the vertex-type graphs consist of trees with a unique genus-one vertex, and the loop-type graphs consist of graphs $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ with $b_{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})=1$ and with $g_{v}=0$ for all $v\in V$ . We separate the contributions from the two types of graphs, and we write
We now analyze these contributions.
5.1 Vertex-type graphs
By definition of the tail series, the contribution from the vertex-type graphs to $\overline{F}_{1}^{C}$ is equal to
Restricting to the small state space, we obtain the following result.
Proposition 5.1. We have
where the variables are related by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{C}:=\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}^{\text{CY}}=\widetilde{I}_{1}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{t})/\widetilde{I}_{0}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{t})$ , and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{LG}}=I_{1}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t})/I_{0}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t})$ .
Proof. By Lemma 4.4, we have
Specializing $\mathbf{t}=\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}^{\text{CY}}$ , the GW mirror theorem (Theorem 2.1) and the genus-zero LG/CY correspondence (Proposition 4.1) imply that
where the final equality follows from the dilaton equation. ◻
5.2 Loop-type graphs
In order to study the loop-type graph contributions to $F_{1}^{C}$ , we consider the $1$ -form $d\overline{F}_{1}^{C}(\mathbf{q})_{L}$ , which packages loop-type graph contributions with one specified leg. We break the loop at the vertex where the tree supporting the specified leg attaches and analyze the resulting genus-zero graph contributions. Define the $2$ -tensors
The next lemma determines $d\overline{F}_{1}^{C}(\mathbf{t})_{L}$ in terms of $\overline{V}^{\bullet }(\mathbf{q},w,z)$ .
Lemma 5.2. We have
where the pairing contracts along each factor of the $2$ -tensors.
Proof. By arguing as in the proof of Lemma 4.4, we have
Therefore, to obtain $d\overline{F}_{1}^{C}(\mathbf{q})$ , we must replace $\mathbf{q}$ in (12) with $S^{-1}\,\cdot \,\mathbf{q}$ . Using the facts that $\overline{J}^{B}(S^{-1}\,\cdot \,\mathbf{q},-z)=S(z)\overline{J}^{C}(\mathbf{q},-z)$ and that $\overline{V}^{\bullet }(\mathbf{q},-w,-z)$ is obtained from $\overline{J}^{\bullet }(\mathbf{q},-z)$ by applying the operator
we have
Therefore, the second term in the pairing in (12) becomes
Similarly, the first term becomes
The lemma then follows from the fact that $\mathbb{U}_{0}^{\ast }=\mathbb{U}_{0}^{-1}$ .◻
If we turn off the descendent parameters by setting $\mathbf{t}=t$ , then the string and Witten–Dijkgraaf–Verlinde–Verlinde equations (see, for example, [Reference CoatesCoa03, Proposition 1.4.1]) imply that
and
Therefore, by further specializing $t=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{C}$ $(=\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}^{\text{CY}})$ , using the genus-zero correspondence of Theorem 3.3, and applying the dilaton equation as in the proof of Proposition 5.1, the residue in Lemma 5.2 simplifies as follows.
Lemma 5.3. We have
In order to further study the residue (13), it will be useful to work in canonical bases for quantum products. Although the GW and FJRW invariants associated to the quintic $3$ -fold do not yield semisimple Frobenius manifolds, they both admit twisted extensions in genus zero that do admit semisimple Frobenius manifolds. In the next section, we recall and study the twisted extensions.
6 Interlude on twisted invariants
In this section we describe semisimple twisted theories that extend the genus-zero GW and FJRW invariants.
6.1 Twisted GW and 5-spin invariants
Twisted GW invariants associated to the quintic $3$ -fold take inputs from the extended state space $\overline{H}^{\text{CY}}$ with basis $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{0},\ldots ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{4}$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}=c_{1}({\mathcal{O}}(1))^{m}\in H^{\ast }(\mathbb{P}^{4},\mathbb{C})$ . To define them, we consider the natural $(\mathbb{C}^{\ast })^{5}$ -action on $\mathbb{P}^{4}$ :
There is an induced $(\mathbb{C}^{\ast })^{5}$ -action on $\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{g,n}(\mathbb{P}^{4},d)$ and a natural lift to $R\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{\ast }{\mathcal{L}}^{\otimes 5}$ . Lifting the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}$ to equivariant cohomology where $\prod (\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i})=0$ , the twisted GW invariants are defined by
where $e_{(\mathbb{C}^{\ast })^{5}}(-)$ is the equivariant Euler class. These invariants take values in localized equivariant cohomology
We recover the genus-zero GW invariants of the quintic by restricting the genus-zero twisted invariants to the ambient state space $H^{\text{CY}}\subset \overline{H}^{\text{CY}}$ and taking the non-equivariant limit $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i}=0$ . We define the shifted twisted GW invariants by
We are primarily interested in the specialization $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}^{i}\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}=\exp (2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}\text{i}/5)$ . Since the unspecialized correlators are symmetric in $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i}\}$ , the specialized correlators are Laurent polynomials in $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{5}$ . The CY $I$ -function can be extended to the (specialized) twisted setting:
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}^{a}:=\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{5\lfloor a/5\rfloor }\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{a}$ .
Analogously, twisted $5$ -spin invariants take inputs from the extended state space $\overline{H}^{\text{LG}}$ with basis $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{0},\ldots ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}$ . To define them, we consider the natural $(\mathbb{C}^{\ast })^{5}$ -action on $L^{\oplus 5}$ . This induces an action on $R\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{\ast }{\mathcal{L}}(-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}_{5})^{\oplus 5}$ , where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}_{5}$ is the universal divisor of untwisted points. The twisted $5$ -spin invariants are defined by
taking values in
We recover the genus-zero FJRW invariants associated to the quintic by restricting the genus-zero twisted invariants to the narrow state space $H^{\text{LG}}\subset \overline{H}^{\text{LG}}$ and taking the non-equivariant limit $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i}=0$ . We define the shifted twisted 5-spin invariants by
As in the CY case, we are primarily interested in the specialization $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{i}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}^{i}\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ . The LG $I$ -function can be extended to the (specialized) twisted setting:
Notice that $I^{\text{CY},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ is annihilated by the Picard–Fuchs operator
while $\mathfrak{t}I^{\text{LG},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ is annihilated by the Picard–Fuchs operator
Moreover, the differential operators (14) and (15) agree upon setting $\mathfrak{q}^{-1}=\mathfrak{t}^{5}$ .
6.2 Genus-zero computations
In what follows, we use $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{m}$ to denote $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{m}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{m}$ , depending on the context, and we use $x$ to denote $\mathfrak{q}$ or $\mathfrak{t}$ . For $\bullet =\text{CY}$ or $\text{LG}$ , we study the semisimple Frobenius manifold on $\overline{H}^{\bullet }\otimes \mathbb{C}[\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{\pm 5}]$ where the pairing is defined by
and the quantum product is defined by
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}^{m}$ is dual to $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{m}$ under the pairing.
For any $F(x,z)\in \mathbb{C}[[x,z^{-1}]]$ , define
and define the Birkhoff factorization operator
where, in the presence of state-space insertions, we set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{i}=1$ in the denominator.
We inductively define series $I_{p,q}^{\bullet }(x)$ by
so that
for $p\geqslant 0$ .
We have the following expression of twisted $S$ -operators in terms of $I$ -functions.
Proposition 6.1. Define the twisted $S$ -operators by
Then
Proof. This follows from standard properties of Givental’s Lagrangian cone. See, for example, [Reference Guo and RossGR19, Lemma 7.4] for the proof in the LG setting. ◻
We have the following important properties of $I_{p,p}^{\bullet }$ , which were proved in [Reference Zagier and ZingerZZ08] for the CY case and in [Reference Guo and RossGR19] for the LG case.
Proposition 6.2 ([Reference Zagier and ZingerZZ08, Theorem 2], [Reference Guo and RossGR19, Lemma 7.6]).
Define
Then the following properties hold:
(i) $I_{0,0}^{\bullet }\cdots I_{4,4}^{\bullet }=(L^{\bullet })^{5}$ ;
(ii) $I_{5+p,5+p}^{\bullet }=\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{5}I_{p,p}^{\bullet }$ ;
(iii) for $0\leqslant p\leqslant 4$ , $I_{p,p}^{\bullet }=I_{4-p,4-p}^{\bullet }$ .
Following the arguments of [Reference Guo and RossGR19], we see that the quantum product (16) is semisimple. In particular, define
where
with $f:=I_{2,2}^{\bullet }/I_{1,1}^{\bullet }$ and $g=I_{0,0}^{\bullet }/I_{1,1}^{\bullet }$ . Then
Let $\{u^{\bullet ,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}\}$ be canonical coordinates, determined up to a constant by
The next result computes the canonical coordinates explicitly in terms of a global $1$ -form.
Proposition 6.3. We have
where $du$ is the global one-form
Proof. The LG case is proved in [Reference Guo and RossGR19, Lemma 7.8], and the CY case follows from the same arguments. ◻
We fix the constants of integration by declaring
and
The normalized canonical coordinates are defined by
where
We compute the pairing on the canonical coordinates explicitly.
Proposition 6.4. We have
Proof. The LG case is proved in [Reference Guo and RossGR19, Lemma 7.9], and the CY case follows from the same arguments. ◻
The change of basis matrix between flat and normalized canonical coordinates is denoted by
From the above definitions, we can compute the change of basis explicitly.
Proposition 6.5. We have
where $c_{i}^{\bullet }$ satisfy
For convenience, we also define $c_{4}^{\bullet }:=\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{-5/2}$ , so that $c_{m}^{\bullet }=(c_{3-m}^{\bullet })^{-1}$ for $m=0,\ldots ,4$ . The inverse matrix of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\bullet }$ is given by
Since the quantum product is semisimple for both types of twisted invariant, there is a canonical $R$ -matrix that yields the higher-genus twisted invariants via Teleman’s reconstruction theorem [Reference TelemanTel12]. The diagonal entries of the linear term of the $R$ -matrix can be computed explicitly.
Proposition 6.6. Define
and
Then, up to constant terms, these matrices are equal to the linear terms of the canonical $R$ -matrices associated to the respective semisimple Frobenius manifolds.
Proof. In the LG case, this is [Reference Guo and RossGR19, Proposition 7.10]. In the CY case, the proof in [Reference Guo and RossGR19] can be mimicked up to the point where
Letting $(-)^{\prime }$ denote $\mathfrak{q}(d/d\mathfrak{q})$ , we then apply [Reference Zagier and ZingerZZ08, Lemma 3] at the second equality below to rewrite the right-hand side as
In the last equality, we have used the fact that $(L^{\text{CY}})^{\prime }/L^{\text{CY}}={\textstyle \frac{1}{5}}((L^{\text{CY}})^{5}-1)$ .◻
Notice that the genus-one formulas can be obtained from the above $R$ -matrices by the formulas
and
6.3 The twisted genus-zero correspondence
We can extend Theorem 2.3 to the twisted setting.
Theorem 6.7. Define the linear transformation $\mathbb{U}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z):\overline{{\mathcal{H}}}^{\text{LG}}\rightarrow \overline{{\mathcal{H}}}^{\text{CY}}$ by
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{1}^{a}:=\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{5\lfloor a/5\rfloor }\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{a}$ . Then $\mathbb{U}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z)$ is a symplectic transformation and, upon identifying $\mathfrak{q}^{-1}=\mathfrak{t}^{5}$ , there exists an analytic continuation of $I^{\text{CY},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\mathfrak{q},z)$ such that
Proof. The Mellin–Barnes method employed in [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10] to prove Theorem 2.3 (Corollary 4.2.4 in their paper) easily generalizes. ◻
Using Proposition 6.1 and Theorem 6.7, we can study the action of the symplectic transformation $\mathbb{U}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ on the $S$ -operators.
Proposition 6.8. We have
where $M(\mathfrak{t},z)$ has only non-negative powers of $z$ . Moreover, $M(\mathfrak{t},0)$ is diagonal with
and
Proof. Statement (20) follows from Theorem 6.7 and general properties of Lagrangian cones. However, in order to prove (21), we first provide a more constructive proof of (20). From Proposition 6.1 and Theorem 6.7, we compute
The explicit formula for $M(\mathfrak{t},0)$ in (21) then follows from this computation and Proposition 6.5.
To prove (22), multiply both sides of (20) by $S^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z)$ to obtain
Since $S^{\text{LG},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{LG}},z)^{\ast }|_{\mathfrak{t}=0}=1$ , it suffices to prove that
By Proposition 6.1 and the definition of the operator $\mathbf{M}^{\text{CY}}$ , we compute, using the fact that $S^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z)=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z^{-1})$ , that
Since $\mathbb{U}_{0}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ is diagonal and $R^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z)=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z)$ , we see that
Reinserting (25) into (24), one verifies (23) from the definition of $\mathbf{M}^{\text{CY}}$ .◻
7 Loop-type graphs revisited
We now return to the task of computing the residue in (13). We begin by reinterpreting the residue in terms of a non-equivariant limit of twisted invariants.
Lemma 7.1. The loop-type contributions can be expressed as a non-equivariant limit:
Proof. Recall that
Since
some care is required in taking the non-equivariant limit. It is not difficult to check that the LG correlators have a zero of order 5 × (number of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}$ insertions) at $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}=0$ . Along with the fact that $\mathbb{U}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(z)(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4})$ has a zero of order $5$ at $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}=0$ , we see that
always exists, and it vanishes whenever there is a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{4}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}^{4}$ insertion in either of the correlators. Similarly, it is not hard to see that the CY correlators have a zero of order $5$ at $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}=0$ whenever there is a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{4}$ insertion, and therefore
always exists, and it vanishes whenever there is a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{4}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}^{4}$ insertion in the correlators. Therefore, the limit of the pairing exists and vanishes whenever there is a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}_{4}$ or $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}^{4}$ insertion in any of the correlators.◻
Now that we understand the residue in terms of twisted $S$ -matrices, we can rewrite it in terms of $R$ -matrices, where the residue will become easy to compute. To do this, let $p_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ denote the equivariant cohomology class of the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ th $(\mathbb{C}^{\ast })^{5}$ -fixed point of $\mathbb{P}^{4}$ , and set
The following result allows us to rewrite $S$ -matrices in terms of $R$ -matrices.
Proposition 7.2. As a linear map from the basis $\{p_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}\}$ to the basis $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}\}$ , the matrix series of the twisted CY fundamental solution
factors canonically as
where $U^{\text{CY}}:=\operatorname{diag}(u^{\text{CY},1},\ldots ,u^{\text{CY},5})$ and $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q},z)$ is an $R$ -matrix of the Frobenius manifold associated to twisted GW invariants. In addition, the matrix series of the twisted $5$ -spin fundamental solution
factors canonically as
where $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},z)$ is an $R$ -matrix of the Frobenius manifold associated to the twisted $5$ -spin invariants.
Remark 7.3. The reader should note that it does not follow from Proposition 7.2 that $\text{}\underline{R}^{\bullet }=R^{\bullet }$ . However, since they are both $R$ -matrices of the same semisimple Frobenius manifold, they differ, at most, by right multiplication by a matrix of the form $\operatorname{diag}(\sum _{k\geqslant 0}a_{2i+1}z^{2k+1})$ .
Proof. The factorization of $S^{\text{CY},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}},z)$ was proved by Givental [Reference GiventalGiv01b] using materialization. A detailed proof can be found in [Reference Lee and PandharipandeLP04, ch. 7]. To prove the factorization of $S^{\text{LG},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{LG}},z)\mathbb{U}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(-z)^{\ast }$ , we apply Proposition 6.8 to see that
where
To verify that $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},z)$ is an $R$ -calibration of the Frobenius manifold, the following properties must be checked:
(i) $U^{\text{CY}}$ is a diagonal matrix of canonical coordinates for the twisted $5$ -spin Frobenius manifold;
(ii) $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},z)=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z)$ ; and
(iii) $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},z)\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{LG}}(\mathfrak{t},-z)^{\ast }=1$ .
The first property follows from Proposition 6.3. The second follows from the fact that $\text{}\underline{R}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q},z)=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z)$ , along with the second part of Proposition 6.8 and the observation that $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\bullet })(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\bullet })^{\ast }=1$ . The third property follows from the observations $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\bullet })(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\bullet })^{\ast }=1$ and $M(\mathfrak{t},z)M(\mathfrak{t},-z)^{\ast }=1$ .◻
We now compute the residue.
Proposition 7.4. We have
where $\text{}\underline{R}_{1}^{\bullet }(\mathfrak{t})_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ denotes the diagonal entries of the linear-in- $z$ part of $\text{}\underline{R}^{\bullet }$ .
Proof. Inserting the factorizations of Proposition 7.2 into the residue in Lemma 7.1, we obtain
Expanding the denominators as Taylor series in either $z/w$ or $w/z$ , the residue is easily computed to yield
The proposition follows from the fact that $\text{}\underline{R}_{1}^{\bullet }(x)^{\ast }=\text{}\underline{R}_{1}^{\bullet }(x)$ , which follows easily from the properties that $R^{\bullet }(x,z)=1+{\mathcal{O}}(z)$ and $\text{}\underline{R}^{\bullet }(x,z)\text{}\underline{R}^{\bullet }(x,-z)^{\ast }=1$ .◻
7.1 Comparing constants
Since both $R_{1}^{\bullet }$ and $\text{}\underline{R}_{1}^{\bullet }$ are linear terms of $R$ -matrices, they differ by at most an additive constant. The purpose of this subsection is to compare the constants in order to obtain the following improvement of Proposition 7.4.
Proposition 7.5. We have
Proof. We prove Proposition 7.5 via a sequence of lemmas.
Lemma 7.6. We have
and
Proof of Lemma 7.6.
By a standard application of the divisor equation and the localization isomorphism, we compute
Multiplying on the right by $\text{e}^{-U^{\text{CY}}/z}$ and using the facts that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{\text{CY}}=\log (\mathfrak{q})+{\mathcal{O}}(\mathfrak{q})$ and $u^{\text{CY},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\log (q)+{\mathcal{O}}(q)$ , we see that
Moreover, since $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}^{\text{CY}})|_{\mathfrak{q}=0}$ is simply the change of basis from the $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}\}$ to $\{\tilde{p}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}\}$ , we see that, as a matrix,
To prove the second statement, we note that $R_{1}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q})$ and $\text{}\underline{R}_{1}^{\text{CY}}(\mathfrak{q})$ are both linear terms of $R$ -calibrations, so they only differ by an additive constant. Observing that
the computation above shows that
Lemma 7.7. We have
Proof of Lemma 7.7.
We know that
Write
where the coefficients $b_{ij}$ can be computed explicitly from the formula for $\mathbb{U}$ (see below, for example). Notice that the $\log (\mathfrak{t})$ terms cancel and, disregarding constant terms in the derivative, we are left with
where $+\cdots \,$ denotes higher-order terms in $\mathfrak{t}$ . Computing the derivative and setting $\mathfrak{t}=0$ , we obtain
Using the fact that, for $i=0,1$ ,
the lemma follows by direct computation. ◻
Lemma 7.8. We have
and
Proof of Lemma 7.8.
Recall that
so that
By the previous two lemmas, it suffices to prove that
Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}_{0}^{\text{LG}}$ and $\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}}_{0}^{\text{CY}}$ denote the specializations at $\mathfrak{t}=0$ . Then by (21) and (22), we have
Therefore,
where
Thus, the non-equivariant limit can be computed explicitly in terms of coefficients of $\mathbb{U}_{+}$ :
By expanding the gamma functions in terms of constants $D:=5/12$ and $E:=-40\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}(3)/(2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}\text{i})^{3}$ , Chiodo and Ruan [Reference Chiodo and RuanCR10] computed
By explicitly constructing $S(-z)$ using elementary row operations, we have
where, by definition, the right-hand side is $\mathbb{U}_{0}\mathbb{U}_{+}(-z)$ . Therefore, we can compute
and
By applying the formula $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}(x)\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}(1-x)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}/\text{sin}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}x)$ and simplifying, it is straightforward to show that $(\mathbb{U}_{+})_{23}=(\mathbb{U}_{+})_{01}$ , finishing the proof of the lemma.◻
Proposition 7.5 now follows easily from Proposition 7.4 and Lemmas 7.6 and 7.8. ◻
Combining Propositions 5.1 and 7.5 with equations (18) and (19), we conclude that
