Gerbe duality conjecture for Gromov–Witten theory

Let GG be a finite group, let QQ act on the finite set of isomorphism classes of irreducible GG-representations, and let Y\mathcal{Y} be a gerbe with dual Y^\widehat{\mathcal{Y}} equipped with its canonical C\mathbb{C}^*-gerbe cc. Write GWg(Y)GW_g(\mathcal{Y}) for the genus gg Gromov–Witten generating function, and GWg(Y^,c)GW_g(\widehat{\mathcal{Y}},c) for the corresponding cc-twisted theory. Gerbe duality conjecture. As generating functions, the genus gg Gromov–Witten theory of Y\mathcal{Y} is equal to the genus gg Gromov–Witten theory of (Y^,c)(\widehat{\mathcal{Y}},c):

GWg(Y)=GWg(Y^,c).GW_g(\mathcal{Y})=GW_g(\widehat{\mathcal{Y}},c).

This conjecture expresses the proposed equivalence between the Gromov–Witten theory of a gerbe and the cc-twisted theory of its dual. It has been proved in increasing generality, including for banded GG-gerbes, so the conjecture is solved.
