Abstract: The Gamma conjecture II for the quantum cohomology of a Fano manifold

F

, proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani, describes the asymptotic behavior of the flat sections of the Dubrovin connection near the irregular singularities, in terms of a full exceptional collection, if there exists, of

m a t h c a l D^{b} (F)

and the

-integral structure. In this paper, for the smooth quadric hypersurfaces we prove the convergence of the full quantum cohomology and the Gamma conjecture II. For the proof, we first give a criterion on Gamma II for Fano manifolds with semisimple quantum cohomology, by Dubrovin's theorem of analytic continuations of semisimple Frobenius manifolds. Then we work out a closed formula of the Chern characters of spinor bundles on quadrics. By the deformation-invariance of Gromov-Witten invariants we show that the full quantum cohomology can be reconstructed by its ambient part, and use this to obtain estimations. Finally we complete the proof of Gamma II for quadrics by explicit asymptotic expansions of flat sections corresponding to Kapranov's exceptional collections and an application of our criterion.

Review text

As the title suggests, the authors prove the Gamma conjecture II for the quantum cohomology of a smooth quadric hypersurfaces in the projective space. The Gamma conjecture II has been proposed by \textit{S. Galkin} et al. [Duke Math. J. 165, No. 11, 2005--2077 (2016; Zbl 1350.14041)], and the precise statement can be found in \S\:2.4 in this paper. As explained in the introduction, it is a refinement of the qualitative part of Dubrovin's conjecture, which predicts the equivalence between the semi-smiplicity of the quantum cohomology of a smooth projective variety \(X\) and the existence of full exceptional collections in the bounded derived category \(\mathcal{D}^b(X)\) of coherent sheaves on \(X\). The Gamma conjecture II concerns the asymptotic behaviour of flat sections of the Dubrovin connection near the irregular singularities. It has been proven for Grassmannians [\textit{G. Cotti} et al., ``Helix Structures in Quantum Cohomology of Fano Varieties, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1811.09235}; \textit{S. Galkin} et al., Duke Math. J. 165, No. 11, 2005--2077 (2016; Zbl 1350.14041)], toric Fano manifolds [\textit{B. Fang} and \textit{P. Zhou}, ``Gamma II for toric varieties from integrals on T-dual branes and homological mirror symmetry, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1903.05300}], and Hirzebruch surfaces [\textit{G. Cotti}, Cyclic stratum of Frobenius manifolds, Borel-Laplace \((\alpha,\beta)\)-multitransforms, and integral representations of solutions of quantum differential equations. Berlin: European Mathematical Society (EMS) (2022; Zbl 07643643)]. The authors approach to prove the conjecture by establishing a criterion on Gamma II (Theorem 3.8). An important assumption in this criterion is the convergence of quantum cohomology, or the generating functions of Gromov-Witten invariants, whose proof for the quadrics are given in Theorem 5.1.
