The chamber formula conjecture for the classical Gromov–Witten potentials

About 26 years old · traced to

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

log⁡ζ=2π−1 z,\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)=log⁡u{log⁡plog⁡q−m2(log⁡ζ,log⁡ζ)}+(m2−I224s)log⁡p (log⁡ζ,log⁡ζ)+13(log⁡q)3−I224slog⁡q (log⁡ζ,log⁡ζ)+112∑γ>0c0(0,γ)(γ,log⁡ζ)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(24log⁡u+24log⁡p+44log⁡q)+124∑γ>0c0(0,γ)(γ,log⁡ζ).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.
