The proper Landau-Ginzburg potential is the open mirror map

Abstract

The mirror dual of a smooth toric Fano surface $X$ equipped with an anticanonical divisor $E$ is a Landau-Ginzburg model with superpotential, W. Carl-Pumperla-Siebert give a definition of the the superpotential in terms of tropical disks using a toric degeneration of the pair $(X,E)$. When $E$ is smooth, the superpotential is proper. We show that this proper superpotential equals the open mirror map for outer Aganagic-Vafa branes in the canonical bundle $K_X$, in framing zero. As a consequence, the proper Landau-Ginzburg potential is a solution to the Lerche-Mayr Picard-Fuchs equation. Along the way, we prove a generalization of a result about relative Gromov-Witten invariants by Cadman-Chen to arbitrary genus using the multiplication rule of quantum theta functions. In addition, we generalize a theorem of Hu that relates Gromov-Witten invariants of a surface under a blow-up from the absolute to the relative case. One of the two proofs that we give introduces birational modifications of a scattering diagram. We also demonstrate how the Hori-Vafa superpotential is related to the proper superpotential by mutations from a toric chamber to the unbounded chamber of the scattering diagram.

Perverse Euler Characteristics of Hermitian Locally Symmetric Spaces

We prove that finite-volume locally Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type have nonnegative perverse Euler characteristics. To show this, we obtain a nefness result for the logarithmic cotangent bundle of a smooth toroidal compactification. Combining this with a positivity criterion for Euler characteristics of perverse sheaves, we deduce the nonnegativity result. We further prove that the inequality is strict for perverse sheaves with full support. As applications, we get nonnegativity results for perverse Euler characteristics on various moduli spaces.

Coupled Pklt Tuples and Varieties of Pklt Type

We introduce asymptotic multiplier ideal sheaves and log canonical thresholds associated with tuples of pseudoeffective divisors on a projective klt pair. We prove that the threshold of a coupled potentially klt tuple is computed by a quasi-monomial valuation. For varieties of potentially klt type, we prove that every big divisor admits a birational Zariski decomposition with semiample positive part. We also prove finite generation of multisection rings of big divisors and give a criterion for a variety of potentially klt type to be a Mori dream space.

Graded Betti numbers of general curves of large degree

Let $C$ be a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g$ and gonality $k$, and $L$ be a very ample line bundle on $C$. When $L$ has sufficiently large degree, the vanishing and nonvanishing of the Koszul cohomology groups $K_{p,q}(C,L)$ have been determined previously, but the exact values of the graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ remain largely unknown. In this paper, we give explicit closed formulas for all graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ when the Brill--Noether locus $W_k^1(C)$ has the expected dimension and $H^1(C, L \otimes \omega_C^{-1})=0$. Consequently, we determine the complete Betti table for a general curve when $\deg L \geq 4g-3$ or when $\deg L \geq 3g-3$ and $L$ is general. We also explicitly compute the Boij--S\"{o}derberg coefficient of the section ring $R(C, L)$ governing asymptotic purity, and show eventual monotonicity of the remaining coefficients: they decrease for hyperelliptic curves and increase under a natural generic reducedness assumption on the relevant Brill--Noether loci.
