Batyrev–Nill conjecture on Calabi–Yau dimensions of stringy E-functions

About 16 years old · traced to

Let PP be a Gorenstein polytope of Calabi–Yau dimension nn, so that Est(P;u,v)E_{st}(P;u,v) is its stringy EE-function. Batyrev–Nill conjecture. The following assertions hold:

  1. Est(P;u,v)E_{st}(P;u,v) is a polynomial.
  2. It has degree 2n2n or is 00; in particular, it is 00 if n<0n<0.
  3. For n≥1n\geq1,
Est(P;u,0)=(−u)nEst(P;u−1,0).E_{st}(P;u,0)=(-u)^nE_{st}(P;u^{-1},0).
dduEst(P;u,1)∣u=1=n2Est(P;1,1).\left.\frac{d}{du}E_{st}(P;u,1)\right|_{u=1}=\frac{n}{2}E_{st}(P;1,1).
d2du2Est(P;u,1)∣u=1=n(3n−5)12Est(P;1,1).\left.\frac{d^2}{du^2}E_{st}(P;u,1)\right|_{u=1}=\frac{n(3n-5)}{12}E_{st}(P;1,1).

The first assertion is proved in the paper, while the supplied context does not say which of the remaining assertions are resolved.
