The chamber formula conjecture for the classical Gromov–Witten potentials

From papers

Let u,p,qu,p,q be the chamber variables, let ζ\zeta be the variable associated with the Cartan directions of the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}, and let mm and ss be as in the source. Write ( )(\,\ ) for the invariant bilinear form, let c0(0,γ)c_0(0,\gamma) be the coefficients of the associated Jacobi form, and define

logζ=2π1z,\log\zeta=2\pi\sqrt{-1}\,z,

and

I2=γ>0c0(0,γ)(γ,γ).\mathcal{I}_2=\sum_{\gamma>0}c_0(0,\gamma)(\gamma,\gamma).

The chamber formula conjecture. In the fundamental chamber,

F0(0)=logu{logplogqm2(logζ,logζ)}+(m2I224s)logp(logζ,logζ)+13(logq)3I224slogq(logζ,logζ)+112γ>0c0(0,γ)(γ,logζ)3,\begin{aligned} F_0^{(0)}={}&\log u\left\{\log p\log q-\frac{m}{2}(\log\zeta,\log\zeta)\right\}\\ &+\left(\frac{m}{2}-\frac{\mathcal{I}_2}{24s}\right)\log p\,(\log\zeta,\log\zeta)\\ &+\frac{1}{3}(\log q)^3-\frac{\mathcal{I}_2}{24s}\log q\,(\log\zeta,\log\zeta)\\ &+\frac{1}{12}\sum_{\gamma>0}c_0(0,\gamma)(\gamma,\log\zeta)^3, \end{aligned}

and

F1(0)=124(24logu+24logp+44logq)+124γ>0c0(0,γ)(γ,logζ).F_1^{(0)}=-\frac{1}{24}(24\log u+24\log p+44\log q)+\frac{1}{24}\sum_{\gamma>0}c_0(0,\gamma)(\gamma,\log\zeta).

These formulas conjecturally express the classical genus-zero and genus-one potentials in terms of the Jacobi-form data. The source attributes the formulas to earlier work and explains that they are compatible with the expected exchange symmetry of the potentials, with corroboration in concrete examples for g=0,1g=0,1; a general proof is not supplied.
