Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence, global mirror symmetry and Orlov equivalence (Q2249434)

Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence (LG/CY) arises in Witten's gauged linear sigma model from a variation of GIT quotient. An example of this correspondence consists of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface \(X_W\) given by the equation \(\{W=0\}\) inside the Gorenstein weighted projective space \( \mathbb{P}(w_1,\dots,w_N)\), and the Landau-Ginzburg orbifold \((\mathbb{C}^N,W,\mu_d)\) where \(\mu_d\) for \(d=\sum w_i\) is the group of \(d\)-roots of unity acting on \(\mathbb{C}^N\) such that \(W:\mathbb{C}^N\to \mathbb{C}\) is \(\mu_d\)-invariant. These two models correspond to two points inside a chamber of GIT stability parameters, nevertheless, they correspond to two different physical theories parameterized by the global Kähler moduli space which in this case is isomorphic to the weighted projective line \(\mathbb{P}(1,d)\). There are three important points in this moduli space: the \(\mu_d\)-point corresponding to the LG model above, the large radius limit point corresponding to the CY geometry above, and the conifold point. Orlov has constructed derived equivalences indexed by \(l\in \mathbb{Z}\), \(\Phi_l: D^b(X_W)\cong \text{MF}^{gr}_{\mu_d}(W)\) where the left hand side is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on \(X_W\) and the right hand side is the category of graded matrix factorizations of \(W\). This is known as B-brane LG/CY correspondence. \textit{A. Chiodo} and \textit{Y. Ruan} [Adv. Math. 227, No. 6, 2157--2188 (2011; Zbl 1245.14038)] proved the equivalence \(GW_0(X_W)\cong \text{FRJW}_0(\mathbb{C}^N,W,\mu_d)\) after a suitable analytic continuation in the case of the quintic CY threefold. Here is the left hand side is the genus 0 Gromov-Witten theory of \(X_W\) and the right hand side is the genus 0 Fan-Jarvis-Ruan theory obtained by the intersection theory on the moduli space of W-spin curves. The latter correspondence is known as the A-model LG/CY correspondence. The paper under review proves the A-model LG/CY correspondence for general \(W\) as above. This is done by proving that the ambient \(D\)-module of \(X_W\) and \((\mathbb{C}^N,W,\mu_d)\) are the restrictions of a global \(D\)-module over the Kähler moduli space. Moreover, the paper under review proves that the \(\widehat{\Gamma}\)-integral structures on both quantum \(D\)-modules match up, in such way that the induced isomorphism between the numerical \(K\)-groups of the categories of B-branes coincide with the one induced by the Orlov's derived equivalence. The paper under review furthermore confirms a physical prediction that Orlov's derived equivalence depends on the choice of a path \(\gamma_l\) arising form the nontrivial monodoromies of the global \(D\)-modules on the Kähler moduli space. This is achieved by showing that each of these paths \(\gamma_l\) corresponds to one of the equivalences \(\Phi_l\). The paper under review finally gives an elegant explanation via mirror symmetry for the interaction between B-branes and A-model CY/LG correspondence discovered above. For \(v\in \mathbb{P}(1,d)\) let \(Y_v\) be the Batyrev mirror of \(X_W\). Then under mirror symmetry the A-branes CY/LG correspondence translates into the statement that the derived Fukaya category of \(Y_v\) is independent of \(v\), and the B-model CY/LG correspondence translates into the statement that there exists a global variation of Hodge structure (VHS) \(H^{N-2}(Y_v)=\bigoplus H^{p,q}(Y_v)\) over \(\mathbb{P}(1,d)\). In this direction, the paper under review proves that the ambient A-model VHS of \(X_W\) equipped with the \(\widehat{\Gamma}\)-integral structure is isomorphic to the residual B-model VHS of \(Y_v\) equipped with the vanishing cycle integral structure near \(v=0\). This implies in particular that the quantum \(D\)-modules of \(X_W\) and \((\mathbb{C}^N,W,\mu_d)\) over the image of the mirror map give a polarized variation of \(\mathbb{Z}\)-Hodge structure.
