The open Gromov–Witten comparison conjecture for Dirac matrix factorizations

Let XX_\triangle be a Fano toric manifold with real locus XRX_\triangle^\mathbb{R}, and suppose

H(XR;R)=H(Sn;R).H^*(X_\triangle^\mathbb{R};\mathbb{R})=H^*(S^n;\mathbb{R}).

Let MM_\triangle be the associated Dirac matrix factorization, let Nβ,kMN^{M_\triangle}_{\beta,k} denote its numerical invariants, let GG_\triangle be the group underlying the completed group ring RR_\triangle, and let OGWβ~,kXR\operatorname{OGW}^{X_\triangle^\mathbb{R}}_{\widetilde\beta,k} denote the open Gromov–Witten invariant with class β~\widetilde\beta and kk point constraints.

Open Gromov–Witten comparison conjecture. There is a homomorphism

φ:H2(X,XR;Z)G\varphi_\triangle:H_2(X_\triangle,X_\triangle^\mathbb{R};\mathbb{Z})\to G_\triangle

such that, for all k1k\geq 1 and βG\beta\in G_\triangle,

Nβ,kM=β~φ1(β)OGWβ~,kXR.N^{M_\triangle}_{\beta,k}=\sum_{\widetilde\beta\in\varphi_\triangle^{-1}(\beta)}\operatorname{OGW}^{X_\triangle^\mathbb{R}}_{\widetilde\beta,k}.

This conjecture proposes that the numerical invariants of the Dirac matrix factorization recover open Gromov–Witten invariants of the real toric locus after grouping relative homology classes through φ\varphi_\triangle. The supplied text presents it as the main motivation for the preceding constructions and gives no resolution.
