    Mirror symmetry is a duality between symplectic geometry (A-model) and complex geometry (B-model) for mirror manifolds. In the classical phase (Calabi-Yau phase), the A-model contains information on Gromov-Witten invariants while the B-model contains information on variations of Hodge structures and Bershadsk-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa's Kodaira-Spencer theory of gravity. In the Landau-Ginzburg phase, a candidate A-model is FJRW theory constructed by Fan-Jarvis-Ruan based on Witten's idea while the B-model is Saito-Givental's theory of singularities. Ruan proposed a LG/CY correspondence [\textit{Y. Ruan}, ``The Witten equation and the geometry of the Landau-Ginzburg model'', Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 85, 209--240 (2012)] which connects FJRW theory and Gromov-Witten theory via wall-crossing. Primitive forms (generalizations of differentials of the first kind on elliptic curves) were introduced by \textit{K. Saito} [J. Fac. Sci., Univ. Tokyo, Sect. I A 28, 775--792 (1981; Zbl 0523.32015)]; Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 19, 1231--1264 (1983; Zbl 0539.58003)] in his study of deformation theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, which are the key ingredients for his theory of singularities. The existence of primitive forms for isolated hypersurface singularities is due to \textit{M. Saito} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 39, No. 1, 27--72 (1989; Zbl 0644.32005)]. The authors considered cusp singularities of the form \(f_{A}(\mathbf{x})=x_{1}^{a_{1}}+x_{2}^{a_{2}}+x_{3}^{a_{3}}+x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}\), (see for instance [\textit{E. J. N. Looijenga}, Isolated singular points on complete intersections. Cambridge etc.: Cambridge University Press (1984; Zbl 0552.14002)]) and determined their primitive forms \(\zeta_{A}\)'s, where \(A=(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3})\) is a triple of positive integers such that \(a_{1}\leq a_{2}\leq a_{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{a_{1}}+\frac{1}{a_{2}}+\frac{1}{a_{3}}<1\). With primitive forms, they described the Frobenius manifold structure on the deformation space of the isolated hypersurface singularity via the standard construction, see [\textit{C. Hertling}, Frobenius manifolds and moduli spaces for singularities. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2002; Zbl 1023.14018)]. As a consequence, they obtained a mirror isomorphism of Frobenius manifolds between the one constructed from \((f_{A},\zeta_{A})\) and the one constructed from the genus zero Gromov-Witten theory of the orbifold \(\mathbb{P}^{1}_{A}\). Finally, they also investigated the period mapping of the primitive form.
