Fano data conjecture on positivity and integrality of the naive mirror map

From papers

Let II index vectors vij\boldsymbol{v}_{ij}, let K0K_0 be the monoid used to define the formal power series zk\boldsymbol{z}^{\boldsymbol{k}}, and let vij\boldsymbol{v}_{ij} be Fano when the origin is the unique interior lattice point of the associated polytope. Define

ψijn(z)=exp(ϕij/ϕ0),\psi_{ij}^{\mathrm{n}}(\boldsymbol{z})=\exp(\phi_{ij}/\phi_0),

where ϕ0\phi_0 and ϕij\phi_{ij} are the formal series defined above. Fano data conjecture. If (vij)(\boldsymbol{v}_{ij}) is Fano, then for all (i,j)I(i,j)\in I, ψijn\psi_{ij}^{\mathrm{n}} has integer coefficients, so that it lies in Z[[K0]]\mathbb{Z}[[K_0]], and

logψijn=ϕij/ϕ0\log\psi_{ij}^{\mathrm{n}}=\phi_{ij}/\phi_0

has non-negative coefficients, so that it lies in Q0[[K0]]\mathbb{Q}_{\geq 0}[[K_0]]. Together these assertions imply ψijnN[[K0]]\psi_{ij}^{\mathrm{n}}\in\mathbb{N}[[K_0]]. This conjecture predicts positivity and integrality properties of the naive mirror map; the paper notes that in the quintic example it recovers the corresponding expected properties of the quintic mirror map.
