We prove the Virasoro constraints for the relative Gromov--Witten theory of all smooth projective effective orbifold curves, allowing relative conditions at ordinary points. The absolute Jiang--Tseng Virasoro conjecture for smooth projective effective orbifold curves follows as a corollary.
For a Fano manifold $X$, Gamma conjecture II aims to use $\mathcal{D}_{\rm{coh}}^b(X)$ to describe the asymptotic behavior of its Dubrovin connection via $\widehatΓ$-integral structure. It was proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani, and can be regarded as a quantitative refinement of Dubrovin's conjecture on Fano manifolds with semisimple big quantum cohomology. As a step toward Gamma conjecture II, we define the Gamma-I property at points satisfying the (SR) condition, arising from the original Gamma conjecture I. We prove that the property holds globally in the following sense: if it holds at one such point, then it holds throughout the connected component of the (SR)-region containing that point. Based on this global Gamma-I property, we establish a strategy-type theorem relating Gamma conjecture II to the Gamma-I property at a possibly non-semisimple point, together with an analysis of small quantum cohomology. We further apply this theorem to prove Gamma conjecture II for del Pezzo surfaces; the proof combines Iritani's Galois action with addtional elementary operations on exceptional collections, and its most technically involved step consists in verifying the required global Gamma-I property.
We investigate power series satisfying the exponential concentration property, and show that suitable modifications of hypergeometric series respect this property. As a geometric application, we prove that the quantum period of a Fano manifold possesses the same property, whenever the manifold admits a convenient weak Landau-Ginzburg model with non-negative coefficients.
We prove a $q$-refined correspondence theorem between higher genus relative Gromov-Witten invariants with a Lambda class $λ_{g-g'}$ insertion in the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $k$ points on a conic and the refined counts of genus $g'$ floor diagrams relative to a conic, after the change of variables $q=e^{iu}$. We provide a Caporaso-Harris type recursive formula for the refined counts of higher genus floor diagrams. As an application of the correspondence theorem, we propose a higher genus version of the BPS polynomials of del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\geq3$ and Hirzebruch surfaces, which generalize the higher genus Block-Göttsche polynomials.
We classify when the blowup of a complex Grassmannian $G(k, n)$ along a smooth Schubert subvariety $Z$ is Fano. We compute almost all the two-point, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of the blowup when $Z=G(k, n-1)$. We further prove a mirror symmetry statement for the blowup $X_{2, n}$ of $G(2, n)$ along $G(2, n-1)$, by introducing a toric superpotential $f_{\rm tor}$ and showing the isomorphism between the Jacobi ring of $f_{\rm tor}$ and the small quantum cohomology ring $QH^*(X_{2, n})$.
We propose a conjecture relevant to Galkin's lower bound conjecture, and verify it for the blow-ups of a four-dimensional quadric at a point or along a projective plane. We also show that Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ holds in these two cases.
We continue investigation of asymptotics of quantum differential equation for Fano manifolds, with a special regard to Gamma conjecture I and its underlying Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$. We introduce the A-model conifold value, a symplectic invariant of a Fano manifold, and propose modifications for Gamma conjecture I based on this new definition. We discuss an interplay of birational transformations with an extension of Gamma conjecture I over the Kähler moduli space. These heuristics are applied to rigorously identify the principal asymptotic class in the case of $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundles $X_n=\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(\mathcal{O}\oplus\mathcal{O}(n))$. We observe, in particular, that for $X_n$ of dimension at least four, the Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ holds just for even values of $n$, and in these cases we falsify the original non-modified Gamma conjecture I.
The so-called KP-mKP hierarchy, which was introduced recently via pseudo-differential operators with two derivations, can be reduced to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP), the modified KP (mKP) and the two-component BKP hierarchies. In this note, we continue to study reductions properties of the KP-mKP hierarchy, including its $(n,m)$-reduction and its reduction to a certain extended $r$-reduced KP hierarchy (the $r$-th Gelfand-Dickey together with its wave function). As a byproduct, we show that the Hirota equations of the extended $r$-reduced KP hierarchy follow from those of the mKP hierarchy, which confirms a conjecture of Alexandrov on the open KdV hierarchy in [ J. High Energy Phys. 2015 ].
We estimate an upper bound of the spectral radius of a linear operator on the quantum cohomology of the toric Fano manifolds $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(\mathcal{O}\oplus\mathcal{O}(3))$. This provides a negative answer to Galkin's lower bound conjecture.
By using pseudo-differential operators containing two derivations, we extend the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy to a certain KP-mKP hierarchy. For the KP-mKP hierarchy, we obtain its Bäcklund transformations, bilinear equations of Baker-Akhiezer functions and Hirota equations of tau functions. Moreover, we show that this hierarchy is equivalent to a subhierarchy of the dispersive Whitham hierarchy associated to the Riemann sphere with its infinity point and one movable point marked.
Let $\sf X$ be a symplectic orbifold groupoid with $\sf S$ being a symplectic sub-orbifold groupoid, and $\sf X_{\mathfrak a}$ be the weight-$\mathfrak a$ blowup of $\sf X$ along $\sf S$ with $\sf Z$ being the corresponding exceptional divisor. We show that there is a weighted blowup correspondence between some certain absolute orbifold Gromov--Witten invariants of $\sf X$ relative to $\sf S$ and some certain relative orbifold Gromov--Witten invariants of the pair $(\sf X_{\mathfrak a}|Z)$. As an application, we prove that the symplectic uniruledness of symplectic orbifold groupoids is a weighted blowup invariant.
Gamma conjecture I and the underlying Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ for Fano manifolds were proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani recently. We show that both conjectures hold for all two-dimensional Fano manifolds. We prove Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ by deriving a generalized Perron-Frobenius theorem on eigenvalues of real matrices and a vanishing result of certain Gromov-Witten invariants for del Pezzo surfaces. We prove Gamma conjecture I by applying mirror techniques proposed by Galkin-Iritani together with the study of Gamma conjecture I for weighted projective spaces.
Using the degeneration technique, one studies the behavior of Welschinger invariants under the blow-up, and obtains some blow-up formulae of Welschinger invariants. One also analyses the variation of Welschinger invariants when replacing a pair of real points in the real configuration by a pair of conjugated points, and reproves Welschinger's wall crossing formula.
In this paper, using pseudo-holomorphic curve method, one proves the Weinstein conjecture in the product $P_1\times P_2$ of two strongly geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds under some conditions with $P_1$. In particular, if $N$ is a closed manifold or a noncompact manifold of finite topological type, our result implies that the Weinstein conjecture in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\times T^*N$ holds.
In this paper, one considers the change of orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants under weighted blow-up at smooth points. Some blow-up formula for Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic orbifolds is proved. These results extend the results of manifolds case to orbifold case.
Using the degeneration formula and absolute/relative correspondence, one studied the change of Gromov-Witten invariants under blow-up for six dimensional symplectic manifolds and obtained closed blow-up formulae for high genus Gromov-Witten invariants. Our formulae also imply some relations among generalized BPS numbers introduced by Pandharipande.
In this paper, we study the Gromov-Witten theory of the Hilbert schemes X^{[n]} of points on smooth projective surfaces X with positive geometric genus p_g. Using cosection localization technique due to Y. Kiem and J. Li [KL1, KL2], we prove that if X is a simply connected surface admitting a holomorphic differential two-form with irreducible zero divisor, then all the Gromov-Witten invariants of X^{[n]} defined via the moduli space $\Mbar_{g, r}(X^{[n]}, β)$ vanish except possibly when $β= d_0 β_{K_X} - d β_n$ where d is an integer, $d_0 \ge 0$ is a rational number, and $β_n$ and $β_{K_X}$ are defined in (3.2) and (3.3) respectively. When $n=2$, the exceptional cases can be further reduced to the invariants: $<1>_{0, β_{K_X} - dβ_2}^{X^{[2]}}$ with $K_X^2 = 1$ and $d \le 3$, and $<1>_{1, dβ_2}^{X^{[2]}}$ with $d \ge 1$. We show that when $K_X^2 = 1$, $$<1>_{0, β_{K_X} - 3 β_2}^{X^{[2]}} = (-1)^{χ(\mathcal O_X)}$$ which is consistent with a well-known formula of Taubes [Tau]. In addition, for an arbitrary smooth projective surface X and $d \ge 1$, we verify that $$<1>_{1, dβ_2}^{X^{[2]}} = K_X^2/(12d).$$
In this paper, we define a stringy product on $K^*_{orb}(\XX) \otimes \C $, the orbifold K-theory of any almost complex presentable orbifold $\XX$. We establish that under this stringy product, the de-locaized Chern character ch_{deloc} : K^*_{orb}(\XX) \otimes \C \longrightarrow H^*_{CR}(\XX), after a canonical modification, is a ring isomorphism. Here $ H^*_{CR}(\XX)$ is the Chen-Ruan cohomology of $\XX$. The proof relies on an intrinsic description of the obstruction bundles in the construction of Chen-Ruan product. As an application, we investigate this stringy product on the equivariant K-theory $K^*_G(G)$ of a finite group $G$ with the conjugation action. It turns out that the stringy product is different from the Pontryajin product (the latter is also called the fusion product in string theory).
