The genus-zero multiple-cover formula for local snc del Pezzo surfaces

About 4 years old · traced to

Let SS be a rank 22 local snc del Pezzo surface, let DD be a polarization, and let Nγ0N^0_\gamma and nγ0,Dn^{0,D}_\gamma denote its local genus-zero Gromov–Witten and local genus-zero BPS invariants. For a curve class γ\gamma, write k∣γk\mid\gamma when γ\gamma is divisible by kk, with quotient class γ/k\gamma/k. Local multiple-cover conjecture.

Nγ0=∑k∣γnγ/k0,Dk3.N^0_\gamma = \sum_{k\mid \gamma}\frac{n^{0,D}_{\gamma/k}}{k^3}.

This is the expected genus-zero relationship between Gromov–Witten and BPS invariants in the local setting. The authors check it in two simple examples with primitive curve classes, but the general statement remains open.
