Abstract: We study structural aspects of the Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) hierarchy in the light of its realization as a two-component reduction of the two-dimensional Toda hierarchy, and establish new results on its connection to the Gromov-Witten theory of local CP1. We first of all elaborate on the relation to the Toeplitz lattice and obtain a neat description of the Lax formulation of the AL system. We then study the dispersionless limit and rephrase it in terms of a conformal semisimple Frobenius manifold with non-constant unit, whose properties we thoroughly analyze. We build on this connection along two main strands. First of all, we exhibit a manifestly local bi-Hamiltonian structure of the Ablowitz-Ladik system in the zero-dispersion limit. Secondarily, we make precise the relation between this canonical Frobenius structure and the one that underlies the Gromov-Witten theory of the resolved conifold in the equivariantly Calabi-Yau case; a key role is played by Dubrovin's notion of "almost duality" of Frobenius manifolds. As a consequence, we obtain a derivation of genus zero mirror symmetry for local CP1 in terms of a dual logarithmic Landau-Ginzburg model.


This paper studies the Ablowitz-Ladik (AL) hierarchy and its relation to the Gromov-Witten theory of local \({\mathbb {P}}^{1}\). The authors first obtain a Lax formulation of the AL system, and then express its dispersionless limit by a conformal semisimple Frobenius manifold. They show that this Frobenius manifold carries a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and also show that it is dual to the Frobenius manifold from the equivariant GW theory of \(\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(-1)\oplus \mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(-1)\). This result is a genus \(0\) mirror symmetry for local \(\mathbb P^1\).
