The broken-line conjecture for holomorphic cylinder counts

Let BB be the base of the log Calabi–Yau surface, and let βNE(Y)\beta\in\operatorname{NE}(Y). Let γ\gamma be a broken line in BB for the canonical scattering diagram, and choose a negative number α\alpha such that (,α](-\infty,\alpha] is a proper subset of the unique unbounded domain of linearity of γ\gamma. The restriction of γ\gamma to [α,0][\alpha,0] gives a spine LγL_\gamma in BB. If the monomial attached to the last domain of linearity of γ\gamma is czqc\cdot z^q, with q=β+λq=\beta+\lambda for λΛγ(0)\lambda\in\Lambda_{\gamma(0)}, then the broken-line conjecture. The number N(Lγ,β)N(L_\gamma,\beta) of holomorphic cylinders associated to the spine LγL_\gamma and the curve class β\beta is equal to cc. The conjecture gives a precise relation between holomorphic cylinder counts and broken lines, suggesting that the positivity, integrality and gluing results for cylinder counts reflect the combinatorics of the canonical scattering diagram. The source provides no resolution of this conjecture.
