Relative gerbe duality conjecture for Gromov–Witten theory

Let Y\mathcal{Y} be a gerbe with dual Y^\widehat{\mathcal{Y}} and associated C\mathbb{C}^*-gerbe cc. Let DBD\subset \mathcal{B} be a smooth irreducible divisor, and define its inverse images by

D:=π1(D)Y,D^:=π^1(D)Y^.\mathcal{D}:=\pi^{-1}(D)\subset \mathcal{Y},\qquad \widehat{\mathcal{D}}:=\widehat{\pi}^{-1}(D)\subset \widehat{\mathcal{Y}}.

Write GWg(Y,D)GW_g(\mathcal{Y},\mathcal{D}) for the genus gg relative Gromov–Witten generating function and GWg((Y^,D^),c)GW_g((\widehat{\mathcal{Y}},\widehat{\mathcal{D}}),c) for the corresponding cc-twisted relative theory. Relative gerbe duality conjecture. As generating functions, the genus gg Gromov–Witten theory of (Y,D)(\mathcal{Y},\mathcal{D}) is equal to the genus gg Gromov–Witten theory of ((Y^,D^),c)((\widehat{\mathcal{Y}},\widehat{\mathcal{D}}),c):

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

This is the natural relative extension of gerbe duality from absolute to relative Gromov–Witten theory. The supplied text does not state a resolution, so the relative conjecture remains open.
