Dubrovin–Zhang hierarchy conjecture for homogeneous CohFTs

About 5 years old · traced to

Let a homogeneous cohomological field theory be given, with potential F(t∗∗,ε)\mathcal F(t^*_*,\varepsilon), formal variables taαt^\alpha_a, and topological variables wntop;αw^{\mathrm{top};\alpha}_n. Let A^w\widehat{\mathcal A}_w be the ring of differential polynomials in w1,…,wNw^1,\ldots,w^N, and let Ωα,a;β,b\Omega_{\alpha,a;\beta,b} and h‾α,d\overline h_{\alpha,d} be as in the assertions below. Let η\eta be the metric, μα=qα−δ2\mu_\alpha=q_\alpha-\frac{\delta}{2}, and Aβα=ηανAνβA^\alpha_\beta=\eta^{\alpha\nu}A_{\nu\beta}.

Dubrovin–Zhang hierarchy conjecture. (1) For every 1≤α,β≤N1\leq\alpha,\beta\leq N and a,b≥0a,b\geq0, there is Ωα,a;β,b∈A^w;0\Omega_{\alpha,a;\beta,b}\in\widehat{\mathcal A}_{w;0} such that

∂2F∂taα∂tbβ=Ωα,a;β,b∣wnγ=wntop;γ.\frac{\partial^2\mathcal F}{\partial t^\alpha_a\partial t^\beta_b}=\left.\Omega_{\alpha,a;\beta,b}\right|_{w^\gamma_n=w^{\mathrm{top};\gamma}_n}.

(2) There is a Poisson operator K1DZK_1^{\mathrm{DZ}} for which h‾α,−1:=∫ηανwν dx\overline h_{\alpha,-1}:=\int\eta_{\alpha\nu}w^\nu\,dx are Casimirs and

ηαμ∂xΩμ,0;β,b=K1DZ;ανδh‾β,bδwν,\eta^{\alpha\mu}\partial_x\Omega_{\mu,0;\beta,b}=K_1^{\mathrm{DZ};\alpha\nu}\frac{\delta\overline h_{\beta,b}}{\delta w^\nu},

where h‾β,b:=∫Ω1,0;β,b+1 dx\overline h_{\beta,b}:=\int\Omega_{\boldsymbol{1},0;\beta,b+1}\,dx. (3) There is a Poisson operator K2DZK_2^{\mathrm{DZ}} such that

{⋅,h‾α,d}K2DZ=(d+32+μα){⋅,h‾α,d+1}K1DZ+Aαβ{⋅,h‾β,d}K1DZ,1≤α≤N, d≥−1.\{\cdot,\overline h_{\alpha,d}\}_{K_2^{\mathrm{DZ}}}=\left(d+\frac{3}{2}+\mu_\alpha\right)\{\cdot,\overline h_{\alpha,d+1}\}_{K_1^{\mathrm{DZ}}}+A^\beta_\alpha\{\cdot,\overline h_{\beta,d}\}_{K_1^{\mathrm{DZ}}},\qquad 1\leq\alpha\leq N,\ d\geq-1.

Parts (1) and (2) are known for arbitrary semisimple CohFTs, while the full homogeneous conjecture, including the second Poisson structure and recursion, remains open in the source.
