Abstract: In the first part of this paper, we obtain mirror formulas for twisted genus 0 two-point Gromov-Witten (GW) invariants of projective spaces and for the genus 0 two-point GW-invariants of Fano and Calabi-Yau complete intersections. This extends previous results for projective hypersurfaces, following the same approach, but we also completely describe the structure coefficients in both cases and obtain relations between these coefficients that are vital to the applications to mirror symmetry in the rest of this paper. In the second and third parts of this paper, we confirm Walcher's mirror symmetry conjectures for the annulus and Klein bottle GW-invariants of Calabi-Yau complete intersection threefolds; these applications are the main results of this paper. In a separate paper, the genus~0 two-point formulas are used to obtain mirror formulas for the genus~1 GW-invariants of all Calabi-Yau complete intersections.

Review text

This paper extends Zinger's results and methods for computing genus \(0\) two-point Gromov-Witten invariants for hypersurfaces to Fano and Calabi-Yau complete intersections. In addition, the equivariant structure coefficients are also described in both cases, as are relationships between the two. The latter become instrumental in deriving the main results of the paper: confirming Walcher's mirror symmetry predictions for annulus and Klein bottle Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds. The proofs do not presuppose that invariants are weight independent, and thus also confirm that they are well defined. However, the localization setup used for computations still requires justification, and one that itself does not presume weight independence. The proof uses that formulas for two-point genus \(0\) Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections are explicit transforms of one-point formulas, and an equivariant hypergeometric series with properties that guarantee uniqueness is constructed to derive the correspondence. Open and non-oriented invariants are interpreted using stable maps invariant under antiholomorphic involutions. Although positive genus analogs of disk invariants are not rigorously defined at the moment physical considerations provide localization data for them, which serves as the basis for computations in the paper. They are computed as sums over graphs with several parameters, and the weight independence means that the parameters go away upon summation. To prove independence the Residue theorem on \(S^2\) is used for both annuli and Klein bottles, but otherwise the computations are quite different with the latter having a distinct genus \(1\) flavor. Namely, the graphs are broken at a special vertex of each loop, and a property of the generating function of genus \(0\) one-point Gromov-Witten invariants is used to sum up the terms to Walcher's conjectural formulas.
