Quantum spectral curve for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line (Q524593): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to construct the quantum curve which is a Schrödinger-like equation \[ P(x,\hbar) \Psi(x,\hbar)=0 \] for the Gromov-Witten invariants of the complex projective line \(\mathbb{P}^1\) . In article gives the first rigorous example of a direct connection between Gromov-Witten theory and quantum curves. This construction requires the fermionic Fock space representation of the Gromov-Witten invariants, and a subtle combinatorial analysis based on representation theory of symmetric groups.
