The canonical splitting conjecture for the quantum connection

Let MM be a closed monotone symplectic manifold, let RR be an integral domain, and write its quantum cohomology as H(M)[q]H^*(M)[q], with quantum product q\ast_q. Suppose that, after inverting qq, there are mutually orthogonal idempotents e1,,em in H(M)[q±1]e_1,\dots,e_m\text{ in }H^*(M)[q^{\pm 1}] of degree zero satisfying

1=e_1+\cdots+e_m,\qquad e_i\ast_q e_j=\begin{cases}e_i&i=j,\\0&i\ne j.end{cases}

Let tt be a formal variable of degree 22, and define the quantum connection on H(M)[q,t]H^*(M)[q,t] by

tqqx=tqqx+c1(M)qx.\nabla_{tq\partial_q}x=tq\partial_qx+c_1(M)\ast_qx.

Canonical splitting conjecture. Given these idempotents, the space H(M)[q±1][[t]]H^*(M)[q^{\pm 1}][[t]] carries a canonical splitting into graded R[q±1][[t]]R[q^{\pm 1}][[t]]-modules, invariant under tqq\nabla_{tq\partial_q}, whose t=0t=0 reduction agrees with the splitting of H(M)[q±1]H^*(M)[q^{\pm 1}] given by quantum product with the idempotents.

This expectation arises from the anticipated compatibility of Fukaya-categorical structures with the completed quantum connection. The statement asks for a canonical extension of the idempotent splitting from quantum cohomology to the tt-adic completion, preserving the quantum connection; no resolution status is supplied here.
