On the quantum \(K\)-theory of the quintic (Q2120867)

The authors present a conjecture for the small \(J\) -function and its small linear \(q-\)difference equation expressed linearly in terms of Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. More explicitly, they conjecture that the small \(J\) function of the quintic 3-fold is expressed linearly in terms of GV-invariants by \[ \frac{1}{1-q}J(Q,q,0)=1+x^{2}\sum_{d,r\geq 1}a(d,r,q^{r})\mbox{GV}_{d}\mbox{Q}^{dr}+x^{3}\sum_{d,r\geq 1}b(d,r,q^{r})\mbox{GV}_{d}\mbox{Q}^{dr}. \] The authors also study the consequence of the conjecture and its relations to a conjecture by \textit{H. Jockers} and \textit{P. Mayr} [J. High Energy Phys. 2019, No. 11, Paper No. 11, 21 p. (2019; Zbl 1429.81090)].
