Lee–Pandharipande–Xiao–Xu two-point vanishing and Hodge identity

About 17 years old · traced to

Let XX be the target, let TaT_a and TaT^a be dual cohomology bases, let gg be a genus, and let B2gB_{2g} be the Bernoulli number. Two-point universal-equations conjecture. For k>gk>g,

∑j=02k(−1)j⟨⟨τj(Ta)τ2k−j(Ta)⟩⟩gX=0.\sum_{j=0}^{2k}(-1)^j\left\langle\left\langle\tau_j(T_a)\tau_{2k-j}(T^a)\right\rangle\right\rangle_g^X=0.

In addition,

12∑j=02g−2(−1)j⟨⟨τj(Ta)τ2g−2−j(Ta)⟩⟩g−1=(2g)!B2g⟨⟨ch⁡2g−1(E)⟩⟩g.\frac12\sum_{j=0}^{2g-2}(-1)^j\left\langle\left\langle\tau_j(T_a)\tau_{2g-2-j}(T^a)\right\rangle\right\rangle_{g-1}=\frac{(2g)!}{B_{2g}}\left\langle\left\langle\operatorname{ch}_{2g-1}(\mathbb E)\right\rangle\right\rangle_g.

These identities are presented as further universal equations for Gromov–Witten theory; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
