Rationality and pole-order conjecture for higher-genus BCOV functions
Rationality and pole-order conjecture for higher-genus BCOV functions
Let and be the algebraic coordinates used for the two-parameter model, and let denote the discriminant component defined by
For , define the propagators by and
where . The dilaton propagators are taken to vanish: . Rationality and pole-order conjecture. There exists a rational function of the form
which reproduces from the BCOV recursion relation with these propagators.
This asserts a polynomial-over-discriminant description of the higher-genus functions in the chosen coordinates. The source states the claim as an observation for and provides no resolution or general proof.
