Open virtual structure constants and mirror computation of open Gromov-Witten invariants of projective hypersurfaces (Q2874227)

Let \(M^k_N\) be the hypersurface given by the Fermat-type equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\{X_1^k+X_2^k+\cdots+X^k_N=0\} \subset \mathbb C\mathbb P^{N-1},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(k\) is an odd positive integer. Let \(\mathbb C\mathbb P^{N-1}_R\subset M^k_N\) be the special Lagrangian submanifold defined as the fixed locus of the anti-holomorphic involution. Following and generalizing the construction of [\textit{R. Pandharipande} et al., J. Am. Math. Soc. 21, No. 4, 1169--1209 (2008; Zbl 1203.53086)], the paper under review studies the moduli space \(\tilde{M}_{D,1}(\mathbb C\mathbb P^{N-1}/\mathbb C\mathbb P^{N-1}_R,2d-1)\) obtained from the moduli space of 1-pointed degree \(2d-1\) stable disk maps to \((M^k_N, \mathbb C\mathbb P_R^{N-1})\). For the hyperplane class \(h\), the 1-pointed open Gromov-Witten invariant \(\langle \mathcal{O}_{h^a} \rangle_{\text{disk},2d-1}\) is defined by integrating \(e(F_{2d-1})\wedge \mathrm{ev}^*_1(h^a)\) over this moduli space where \(F_{2d-1}\) is a certain orbibundle. The paper under review gives an explicit low degree computation of these invariants using the localization techniques.NEWLINENEWLINEThe paper under review obtains the generating function of the open virtual structure constants (the B-model analogs of the structure constants of the small quantum cohomology ring) from the solution of a certain Picard-Fuchs equation in the case \(N=k\), and proposes the generalized mirror transformation relating the virtual structure constants to \(\langle \mathcal{O}_{h^a} \rangle_{\text{disk},2d-1}\). This is proven for the cases up to \(d=5\) in this paper. Using this, the B-model computation of \(\langle \mathcal{O}_{h^{\frac{k-3}{2}}} \rangle_{\text{disk},2d-1}\) is given, and then the multiple covering formula for these invariants is proposed and the numerical computation for up to \(k=13\) is provided.
