The rationality conjecture for A-model structure constants of Calabi–Yau threefolds

Assume that VV has dimension 33. Let Ki,j,k(z)K_{i,j,k}(z) be the structure constants defining the A-model connection AV\nabla_{AV} in the zz-coordinates, and let Φ0(z)\Phi_0(z) be the generalized hypergeometric series.

Rationality conjecture. The function

Φ02(z)Ki,j,k(z)\Phi_0^2(z)K_{i,j,k}(z)

is rational in the zz-coordinates.

This predicts rationality of the normalized A-model structure constants in the Calabi–Yau threefold case, providing a bridge between the hypergeometric period and quantum-cohomological data; no resolution is given in the source.
