The crepant transformation conjecture implies the monodromy conjecture (Q2278875)

The paper under review studies the monodromy conjecture for symplectic resolutions as formulated by Braverman-Maulik-Okounkov. This conjecture roughly says that the monodromy of the quantum connection for two birationally equivalent smooth symplectic Deligne-Mumford stacks which are symplectic resolutions of a singular symplectic stack and they correspond to the two large radius points in the compactified Kähler moduli spaces is the same as the monodromy given by their equivalence in the \(K\)-theory. This paper introduces the notion of ``extended stacky hyperplane arrangements'' and defines the hypertoric DM stacks associated with them. There is a one-to-one correspondence between such arrangements and the GIT data and in particular the wall crossing of hypertoric DM stacks gives the Mukai type flops. Let \(X_+ \to X_-\) be a crepant birational map between two smooth Lawrence toric DM stacks given by a single wall crossing. It is known that \(X_+\) and \(X_-\) are derived equivalent and their equivalence is given by the Fourier-Mukai transformation, which in the level of \(K\)-theory matches the analytic continuation of the \(I\)-function, and so also the analytic continuation of the quantum connections which are determined by the \(I\)-function. The wall crossing above implies that the associated birational transformation \(Y_+\to Y_-\) for the hypertoric DM stacks is crepant, and the Fourier-Mukai functor gives an equivalence of derived categories of \(Y_+\) and \(Y_-\). The paper under review proves that this Fourier-Mukai transformation matches the analytic continuation of quantum connections of the hypertoric DM stacks, which is induced by the analytic continuation of the associated Lawrence toric DM stacks. Viewing crepant birational transformation of hypertoric DM stacks as the local model of stratified Mukai type flops for general symplectic DM stacks, one can say that the construction in this paper will play a role in the study for general Mukai type flops by degeneration method to the local models.
