Gaiotto's positivity and filtered nondegeneracy conjecture
Gaiotto's positivity and filtered nondegeneracy conjecture
Let be filtered by polynomial degree, with . Let be a homogeneous polynomial of degree , and define
When this sesquilinear form is filtered-nondegenerate, let denote the resulting homogeneous form on . Gaiotto's conjecture. (i) If is filtered-nondegenerate, then is positive definite. (ii) The form is filtered-nondegenerate for all . The claim generalizes Gaiotto's proposal for quasi-homogeneous superpotentials and concerns positivity arising from Landau--Ginzburg boundary conditions for 3d free hypermultiplets. Filtered nondegeneracy is known for sufficiently generic , but the assertion for every homogeneous is not established in the supplied text; part (i) follows from part (ii) by deformation, and even follows from filtered nondegeneracy on a dense connected subset.
