Bershadsky–Cecotti–Ooguri–Vafa mirror symmetry conjecture

Let MM be a Kähler manifold, let FgBCOV(M)F_g^{\mathrm{BCOV}}(M) be the genus-gg BCOV quantity defined by summing the Cauchy principal value graph integrals over connected trivalent graphs, and let MM^{\vee} be a mirror manifold. For g2g\ge 2, the BCOV mirror symmetry conjecture asserts that FgBCOV(M)F_g^{\mathrm{BCOV}}(M) defines the genus-gg B-model invariant: it is independent of the Kähler class of MM, and, when MM and MM^{\vee} are mirror manifolds, the holomorphic limit of FgBCOV(M)F_g^{\mathrm{BCOV}}(M) coincides with the genus-gg Gromov–Witten invariants of MM^{\vee}. This conjecture gives the higher-genus B-model counterpart of mirror symmetry by identifying BCOV graph-integral invariants with Gromov–Witten theory on the mirror; the source formulates it but does not state a general resolution.
