Abstract: Quantum K-theory of a smooth projective variety at genus zero is a collection of integers that can be assembled into a generating series $J(Q,q,t)$ that satisfies a system of linear differential equations with respect to $t$ and $q$-difference equations with respect to $Q$. With some mild assumptions on the variety, it is known that the full theory can be reconstructed from its small $J$-function $J(Q,q,0)$ which, in the case of Fano manifolds, is a vector-valued $q$-hypergeometric function. On the other hand, for the quintic 3-fold we formulate an explicit conjecture for the small $J$-function and its small linear $q$-difference equation expressed linearly in terms of the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. Unlike the case of quantum knot invariants, and the case of Fano manifolds, the coefficients of the small linear $q$-difference equations are not Laurent polynomials, but rather analytic functions in two variables determined linearly by the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of the quintic. Our conjecture for the small $J$-function agrees with a proposal of Jockers-Mayr.

Review text

The authors present a conjecture for the small \(J\) -function and its small linear \(q-\)difference equation expressed linearly in terms of Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. More explicitly, they conjecture that the small \(J\) function of the quintic 3-fold is expressed linearly in terms of GV-invariants by \[ \frac{1}{1-q}J(Q,q,0)=1+x^{2}\sum_{d,r\geq 1}a(d,r,q^{r})\mbox{GV}_{d}\mbox{Q}^{dr}+x^{3}\sum_{d,r\geq 1}b(d,r,q^{r})\mbox{GV}_{d}\mbox{Q}^{dr}. \] The authors also study the consequence of the conjecture and its relations to a conjecture by \textit{H. Jockers} and \textit{P. Mayr} [J. High Energy Phys. 2019, No. 11, Paper No. 11, 21 p. (2019; Zbl 1429.81090)].
