Abstract: We define a generalization of Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory, a "hybrid" model associated to a collection of quasihomogeneous polynomials of the same weights and degree, which is expected to match the Gromov-Witten theory of the Calabi-Yau complete intersection cut out by the polynomials. In genus zero, we prove that the correspondence holds for any such complete intersection of dimension three in ordinary, rather than weighted, projective space. These results generalize those of Chiodo-Ruan for the quintic threefold, and as in that setting, Givental's quantization can be used to yield a conjectural relation between the full higher-genus theories.

Review text

The Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau (LG/CY) correspondence was proposed and understood in physical terms to correspond to the study of two (or more) different ``phases of certain two dimensional gauge theories [\textit{E. Witten}, Nucl. Phys., B 403, No. 1--2, 159--222 (1993; Zbl 0910.14020)]. Mathematically, the context for the LG/CY correspondence -- at least for CYs realized as complete intersections in weighted projective spaces -- is understood to be, respectively, FJRW theory [\textit{H. Fan} et al., Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 61, No. 6, 745--788 (2008; Zbl 1141.58012)] and genus zero Gromov-Witten (GW) theory. This paper generalizes the notion of FJRW theory for LG models corresponding to a collection of singularities (i.e. the threefolds are complete intersections in projective space), focusing on the only two non-quintic examples, \(X_{3, 3} \subset \mathbb{P}^5\) and \(X_{2, 2, 2, 2} \subset \mathbb{P}^7\). The main result of the paper is to establish the genus zero LG/CY correspondence for these two examples. This is accomplished by constructing the I-function of the hybrid model, whose coefficients expanded in powers of \(H^{(i)}\) span the solution space of a Picard-Fuchs equation associated to the corresponding Calabi-Yau (after a simple identification). The author establishes that the hybrid I-function and the usual genus zero hybrid J-function are related by an explicit change of variables (the mirror map) given for these two examples in Theorem 1.1.1. The I- and J-functions of the CY side of the correspondence are similarly related to one another in [\textit{A. Givental}, Prog. Math. 160, 141--175 (1998; Zbl 0936.14031)]. The latter is the generating function of genus zero GW invariants for the CY, explicitly \(J_{GW}(\mathbf{t}, z) = z + \mathbf{t} + \sum_{n, \beta}{1 \over n!} \langle \mathbf{t}(\psi), \ldots, \mathbf{t}(\psi), {\varphi_a \over z - \psi} \rangle^{GW}_{0, n+1, \beta} \varphi^a\) with \(\mathbf{t}(z) = t_0 + t_1 z + \ldots \in H_{GW}[z]\) and \(\varphi_a\) running over a basis for \(H_{GW}\). The small J-function is the restriction of the J-function to the degree-two component; for the genus zero correspondence to hold, the small \(J_{\mathrm{hyb}}\) and \(J_{GW}\) functions must coincide. The author explicitly verifies a degree-preserving isomorphism between the state spaces, \(H_{\mathrm{hyb}}\) and \(H_{GW} = H^*(X)\) for these examples. From this isomorphism between the state spaces in which the respective I-functions take values, and the content of Theorem 1.1.1, it then follows that \(I_{\mathrm{hyb}}\) and the analytic continuation of \(I_{GW}\) in a certain coordinate patch are given in terms of a basis of solutions to the same differential equation and are related by a linear isomorphism that performs the change of basis. This establishes the genus zero LG/CY correspondence for these examples (Corollary 1.1.2).
