Zinger's comparison conjecture for Fano threefold Gromov–Witten invariants

Let XX be a Fano threefold, let β\beta be a curve class, and let Nβg(γ)N_\beta^g(\gamma) and rβh(γ)r_\beta^h(\gamma) denote the standard and reduced Gromov–Witten invariants with insertions γ\gamma. Define Ch,βX(g)C_{h,\beta}^X(g) by

g0Ch,βX(g)t2g=(sin(t/2)t/2)2h2KXβ.\sum_{g\geq 0}C_{h,\beta}^X(g)t^{2g}=\left(\frac{\sin (t/2)}{t/2}\right)^{2h-2-K_X\cdot\beta}.

Zinger's comparison conjecture. One has

Nβg(γ)=h=0gCh,βX(gh)rβh(γ).N_\beta^g(\gamma)=\sum_{h=0}^g C^X_{h,\beta}(g-h)r_\beta^h(\gamma).

This gives the conjectural relation between standard and reduced invariants for Fano threefolds, where reduced invariants are expected to agree with Gopakumar–Vafa invariants. The surrounding text does not report a proof of this full statement.
