Lagrangian Floer superpotentials and crepant resolutions for toric orbifolds (Q2452196)

The crepant resolution conjecture (CRC), arisen from string theory, asserts that a Gorenstein orbifold \(\mathcal{X}\) and any of its crepant resolutions \(Y\) correspond to two large radius limit points in the stringy Kähler moduli space \(\mathcal{M}_A\). In particular, one expects that \(\mathcal{X}\) and \(Y\) have closely related quantum cohomologies. The latter has been formulated and studied by many mathematicians. In the case when \(Y\) is compact and toric, the Lagrangian Floer superpotential \(W^{LF}_{Y}\) is defined by virtual counting of stable holomorphic discs in \(Y\) bounded by Lagrangian torus fibers of the moment map. The authors study an open string version of CRC. In particular, \(W^{LF}_{\mathcal{X}}\) is defined in this paper in case \(\mathcal{X}\) is compact and toric. Assuming the convergence of the coefficients, \(W^{LF}_{\mathcal{X}}\) and \(W^{LF}_{Y}\) give families of holomorphic functions on \(\mathbb{C}^{*n}\) over the neighborhoods \(U_{\mathcal{X}}\) and \(U_Y\) of the corresponding points in \(\mathcal{M}_A\). Motivated by the global picture given by the stringy Kähler moduli, the authors conjecture (open CRC) that \(W^{LF}_{\mathcal{X}}(q)\) and \(W^{LF}_{Y}(Q)\) are Laurent series over the Novikov rings in \(q\) and \(Q\), and there exists a holomorphic change of coordinates \(Q(q)\) in a small neighborhood of \(\mathcal{X}\) (in its Kähler moduli space) such that \(W^{LF}_{\mathcal{X}}(q)=W^{LF}_{Y}(Q(q))\) after suitable choices of analytic continuations of the coefficients. The open CRC in particular, predicts relations between the generating functions of open Gromov-Witten invariants of \(\mathcal{X}\) and \(Y\). Moreover, it gives an explanation for the change and specializations of the variables in the closed CRC. In fact, they also conjecture that the small quantum cohomology ring of \(\mathcal{X}\) is isomorphic to Jacobian ring of the \(W^{LF}_{\mathcal{X}}\). Then, the open CRC combined with a theorem of Fukaya et. al. proving the same isomorphism for \(Y\), proves the closed CRC. Finally, the authors use the toric orbifold mirror theorem to prove the open CRC for the weighted projective spaces of the form \(\mathbb{P}(1,\dots,1,n)\).
