The Virasoro constraints conjecture for K3 surfaces with fiber and point insertions

About 3 years old · traced to

Let SS be a K3 surface, let γa\gamma_a be a homogeneous basis of H∗(S)H^*(S) with γa∈Hpa,qa(S)\gamma_a\in H^{p_a,q_a}(S), and set ba=pa−1/2b_a=p_a-1/2. Let [α]qp[\alpha]^p_q denote the coefficient of xqx^q in (x+α)(x+α+1)⋯(x+α+p)(x+\alpha)(x+\alpha+1)\cdots(x+\alpha+p). Virasoro constraints conjecture. Assuming all insertions satisfy γai∈F,p\gamma_{a_i}\in\\{F,\mathsf p\\}, there exist rational coefficients wk,m∈Qw_{k,m}\in\mathbb Q such that the displayed Virasoro relation in the source holds for every relevant kk and the corresponding reduced Gromov–Witten invariants. This conjecture proposes Virasoro constraints in a special case motivated by known constraints for T∗P1T^*\mathbb P^1 and numerical computations; the coefficients wk,mw_{k,m} are not specified by the statement.
