A conjectural formula for genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of some local Calabi-Yau \(n\)-folds (Q1708050)

Genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces has been explicitly computed by \textit{A. Zinger} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 22, No. 3, 691--737 (2009; Zbl 1206.14081)] after a series of remarkable work by himself and also by Jun Li and Vakil. Roughly speaking, the derivation of this formula involves finding various relations among Hodge integrals over the moduli spaces of genus 1 stable maps to projective space and their certain subschemes and blowups. The hodge integrals arise from the contributions of graphs to the virtual localization formulas, and then complicated combinatorics have to be dealt with. The goal of the paper under review is to derive an explicit formula for the genus 1 GW invariants for local Calabi-Yau \(n\)-fold which is the total space of \[ \mathcal{O}(-c_1)\oplus \cdots \oplus \mathcal{O}(-c_m) \to \mathbb{P}^{n-m} \] for positive integer \(c_i\) satisfying \(\sum_{i=1}^mc_i=n-m+1\). A mixture of Zinger's approach described above briefly, and some physical consideration the paper under review is able to conjecture an explicit formula for these genus 1 GW invariants. This conjecture is also proven for degree 1 invariants and also in all degrees when \(c_1=\cdots=c_m=1\) and also when \(c_1=\cdots=c_{m-1}=1,\;c_m=2\). Assuming the conjecture, the paper under review verifies the integrality of genus 1 degree \(\leq 100\) BPS numbers of local Calabi-Yau 5-folds defined by \textit{A. Klemm} and \textit{R. Pandharipande} [Commun. Math. Phys. 281, No. 3, 621--653 (2008; Zbl 1157.32022)].
