The exponential type conjecture for quantum t-connections

Let (X,comega)(X,comega) be a closed monotone symplectic manifold of dimension 2n2n, with [comega]=c1(X)[comega]=c_1(X). Let tt be a formal variable of degree 22, and let

tQH:=t+μtc1t2\nabla^{QH}_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}}:=\frac{\partial}{\partial t}+\frac{\mu}{t}-\frac{c_1\star}{t^2}

be the quantum tt-connection on H(X;C)[[t]]H^*(X;\mathbb{C})[[t]], where μHk(X)=kn2\mu|_{H^k(X)}=\frac{k-n}{2} and \star is the small quantum cup product. The exponential type conjecture. The quantum tt-connection (H(X;C)((t)),tQH)(H^*(X;\mathbb{C})((t)),\nabla^{QH}_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}}) admits a finite direct sum decomposition

tQH=λ(C((t)),tλt2)treg,λ,\nabla^{QH}_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}}=\bigoplus_{\lambda}(\mathbb{C}((t)),\frac{\partial}{\partial t}-\frac{\lambda}{t^2})\otimes \nabla^{reg,\lambda}_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}},

where λC\lambda\in\mathbb{C} and each treg,λ\nabla^{reg,\lambda}_{\frac{\partial}{\partial t}} is gauge equivalent to a connection with simple poles at t=0t=0 and monodromies given by roots of unity. Equivalently, the quantum connection has unramified exponential type and quasi-unipotent regularized monodromy. This conjecture concerns the singularity and monodromy structure of quantum connections; the source paper proves it for closed monotone symplectic manifolds, while the general conjecture is attributed to Katzarkov–Kontsevich–Pantev and Galkin–Golyshev–Iritani.
