The orbifold Virasoro constraints

About 19 years old · traced to

Let X\mathcal{X} be a compact orbifold, let DX\mathcal{D}_\mathcal{X} denote its total descendant Gromov–Witten potential, and let Lm\mathcal{L}_m be the Virasoro operators defined from the orbifold cohomological data. Virasoro constraints. The total descendant potential satisfies

LmDX=0,m≥−1.\mathcal{L}_m\mathcal{D}_\mathcal{X}=0,\qquad m\geq -1.

The case m=−1m=-1 is the string equation, and the degree-zero constraint for m=0m=0 follows from the virtual dimension, divisor, and dilaton equations. The full system is the orbifold extension of Givental's Virasoro constraints and remains conjectural in general.
