Apéry constants of Fano manifolds

Let XX be a Fano manifold and let γH\circle*1.5(X)\gamma\in H^{\:\raisebox{3pt}{\text{\circle*{1.5}}}}(X) be a homogeneous coprimitive cohomology class of codimension nn with respect to KX-K_X. Let A0A_0 and AγA_\gamma be the solutions of the quantum DD-module associated with 11 and γ\gamma, respectively, and write their relevant coefficients as a0(k)a_0^{(k)} and aγ(k)a_\gamma^{(k)}. Let R=Q[c1,c2,c3,]R=\mathbb{Q}[c_1,c_2,c_3,\dots] with degci=i\deg c_i=i, and let ev:RCev:R\to\mathbb{C} send c1c_1 to Euler's constant and cic_i to ζ(i)\zeta(i) for i2i\geqslant 2. Apéry's conjecture for Fano manifolds. The Apéry number

limkaγ(k)a0(k)\lim_{k\to\infty}\frac{a_\gamma^{(k)}}{a_0^{(k)}}

is equal to ev(fγ)ev(f_\gamma) for some homogeneous polynomial fγR(n)f_\gamma\in R^{(n)} of degree nn. This predicts that Apéry constants arising from quantum DD-modules are polynomial expressions in Euler's constant and zeta values, and is the main conjecture verified in examples in the paper; its general validity is not established by the supplied text.
