Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov theorems for Landau-Ginzburg models (Q509254)

The authors prove the smoothness of the moduli space of complex Landau-Ginzburg models which are determined by a pair \((Y,w)\) where \(Y\) is a complex quasi-projective variety and \(w:Y\rightarrow \mathbb{A}^{1}\) is a holomorphic function on \(Y\). The main result is an unobstructedness result which considers a smooth projective variety \(Z\), a flat morphism \( f:Z\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^{1}\) and a reduced anti-canonical divisor with strict normal crossings \(D_{Z}\subset Z\). If \(\mathrm{crit}(f)\) does not intersect the horizontal part of \(D_{Z}\) and if the vertical part of \(D_{Z}\) coincides with the scheme theoretic fiber \(f^{-1}(\infty )\) of \(f\) over \(\infty \in \mathbb{P}^{1}\) then the versal deformation \(\mathcal{M}_{(Z,f)_{D_{Z}}}\) of \((Z,f)_{D_{Z}}\) is smooth. The authors first present the notions of mirrors of Fano manifolds and of compactified Landau-Ginzburg models. They then analyze the invariant of \(nc\) Hodge structures of geometric origin.
