Weierstrass quantum-curve conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Consider the Weierstrass spectral curve

P(x,y)=y2−4(x3−1)=0.P(x,y)=y^2-4(x^3-1)=0.

Let P^(x^,y^;ℏ)\hat{P}(\hat{x},\hat{y};\hbar) be a quantum curve of the form

P^(x^,y^;ℏ)=ℏ2d2dx2−4(x3−1)+∑i≥1ℏ2iA2i(x)ddx+∑j≥1ℏ2jB2j(x),\hat{P}(\hat{x},\hat{y};\hbar)=\hbar^2\frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{\mathrm{d}x^2}-4(x^3-1)+\sum_{i\geq 1}\hbar^{2i}A_{2i}(x)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}+\sum_{j\geq 1}\hbar^{2j}B_{2j}(x),

where the Ai(x)A_i(x) and Bj(x)B_j(x) are polynomials in xx. A Weierstrass quantum-curve conjecture. There is a unique such quantum curve that annihilates the non-perturbative wave-function:

P^(x^,y^;ℏ)ψNP(z)=0.\hat{P}(\hat{x},\hat{y};\hbar)\psi_{\mathrm{NP}}(z)=0.

Only even powers of ℏ\hbar occur; moreover, A2i(x)A_{2i}(x) has degree at most i−2i-2, and B2j(x)B_{2j}(x) has degree at most jj. This conjecture concerns whether the non-perturbative wave-function for the Weierstrass spectral curve is annihilated by a uniquely determined quantum curve of the specified polynomial form. Its status is not resolved in the source.
