The GW/PT correspondence for absolute threefolds

Let XX be a smooth projective threefold, let β\beta be a curve class, let τα1(γ)=τα11(γ1)ταr1(γr)\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\alpha-1}(\boldsymbol{\gamma})=\tau_{\alpha_1-1}(\gamma_1)\cdots\tau_{\alpha_r-1}(\gamma_r) for a partition α=(α1,,αr)\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r) and classes γiH(X)\gamma_i\in H^{\ast}(X), and let τα1(γ)\overline{\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\alpha-1}(\boldsymbol{\gamma})} denote the descendent transformation defined using the universal correspondence matrix. The partition functions ZPT,βXZ^{X}_{\mathsf{PT},\beta} and ZGW,βXZ^{X}_{\mathsf{GW},\beta} are formed from the PT and GW invariants, respectively.

The GW/PT correspondence. ZPT,βX(τα1(γ))Z^{X}_{\mathsf{PT},\beta}(\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\alpha-1}(\boldsymbol{\gamma})) is the Fourier expansion of a rational function in pp, and under p=ezp=e^z,

ZPT,βX(τα1(γ))=ZGW,βX(τα1(γ)).Z^{X}_{\mathsf{PT},\beta}(\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\alpha-1}(\boldsymbol{\gamma}))=Z^{X}_{\mathsf{GW},\beta}(\overline{\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\alpha-1}(\boldsymbol{\gamma})}).

This asserts rationality of the PT partition function and identifies it, after the descendent transformation and the change of variables p=ezp=e^z, with the GW partition function.
