Ooguri–Vafa integrality conjecture for the open topological string

Let XX be a toric Calabi–Yau 33-fold and let D\mathcal{D} be an Aganagic–Vafa A-brane. Write Z(X,D)(x1,,xn;q,a)Z^{(X,\mathcal{D})}(\mathbf{x}^1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}^n;q,a) for the open-string partition function, let sμs_{\vec{\mu}} be the Schur function indexed by a tuple of partitions μ\vec{\mu}, and define

fμ(q,a)=(q1/2q1/2)Log(Z(X,D)(x1,,xn;q,a)),sμ(x).f_{\vec{\mu}}(q,a)=(q^{1/2}-q^{-1/2})\left\langle \operatorname{Log}\left(Z^{(X,\mathcal{D})}(\mathbf{x}^1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}^n;q,a)\right),s_{\vec{\mu}}(\vec{\mathbf{x}})\right\rangle.

Ooguri–Vafa integrality conjecture. One has

fμ(q,a)=i,jNμ,i,jai/2qj/2Z[q±1/2,a±1/2],f_{\vec{\mu}}(q,a)=\sum_{i,j}N_{\vec{\mu},i,j}a^{i/2}q^{j/2}\in\mathbb{Z}[q^{\pm1/2},a^{\pm1/2}],

for integer invariants Nμ,i,jN_{\vec{\mu},i,j}. This predicts that the generally rational open Gromov–Witten theory is governed by integer BPS invariants; the paper applies the prediction to the framed C3\mathbb{C}^3 model and studies its consequences for Rogers–Ramanujan identities.
