Double ramification cycle conjecture for Gromov–Witten invariants of K3 surfaces

Let SS be a K3 surface, let βH2(S,Z)\beta\in H^2(S,\mathbb{Z}) be primitive and effective, and let a=(a1,,an)\mathsf{a}=(\mathsf{a}_1,\ldots,\mathsf{a}_n) be integers with iai=0\sum_i\mathsf{a}_i=0. For insertions γiH(S)\gamma_i\in H^*(S), write DRg(a)H2g(Mg,n)\operatorname{DR}_g(\mathsf{a})\in H^{2g}(\overline{M}_{g,n}) for the double ramification cycle, let Θ(z,τ)\Theta(z,\tau) be the odd renormalized Jacobi theta function, and let Δ(τ)\Delta(\tau) be the discriminant. The Mukai pairing on H(S)H^*(S) is denoted by ( )(\,\ ), and deg(γ)\deg(\gamma) is defined by γH2deg(γ)(S)\gamma\in H^{2\deg(\gamma)}(S).

Double ramification cycle conjecture. There exist quasi-Jacobi forms φm(z,τ)\varphi_m(z,\tau) and φm,n(z,τ)\varphi_{m,n}(z,\tau) such that

g=0DRg(a);γ1,,γng,βS(1)g+nz2g2+n=1iaideg(γi)Coeffq12β2({(aj,bj)}j,{cj}j1Θ2Δj(γaj,γbj)φajbjj(γcj,β)φcj).\sum_{g=0}^{\infty}\left\langle \operatorname{DR}_g(\mathsf{a});\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n\right\rangle^S_{g,\beta}(-1)^{g+n}z^{2g-2+n}=\frac{1}{\prod_i\mathsf{a}_i^{\deg(\gamma_i)}}\operatorname{Coeff}_{q^{\frac12\beta^2}}\left(\sum_{\{(a_j,b_j)\}_j,\{c_j\}_j}\frac{1}{\Theta^2\Delta}\prod_j(\gamma_{a_j},\gamma_{b_j})\varphi_{a_jb_j}\cdot\prod_j(\gamma_{c_j},\beta)\varphi_{c_j}\right).

Here the sum is over all partitions of {(ai,γi)}i=1n\{(\mathsf{a}_i,\gamma_i)\}_{i=1}^n into parts of size at most 22, with singleton parts labeled by (cj,γcj)(c_j,\gamma_{c_j}) and pairs labeled by {(aj,γaj),(bj,γbj)}\{(a_j,\gamma_{a_j}),(b_j,\gamma_{b_j})\}. This generalizes the Katz–Klemm–Vafa formula for the case with no marked points, while the functions φm\varphi_m and φm,n\varphi_{m,n} were initially left indeterminate; further evidence is provided by related results for K3 surfaces and products with P1\mathbb{P}^1.
