Holomorphic anomaly equation for elliptic-surface Gromov–Witten series

About 25 years old · traced to

For g≥0g\geq 0 and n≥1n\geq 1, let Zg;n(q):=∑dNg,d;nqdZ_{g;n}(q):=\sum_dN_{g,d;n}q^d, where Ng,d;n:=∑(β,σ)=d, (β,F)=nNg(β)N_{g,d;n}:=\sum_{(\beta,\sigma)=d,\,(\beta,F)=n}N_g(\beta). Let E2(q),E4(q),E6(q)E_2(q),E_4(q),E_6(q) be Eisenstein series of weights 2,4,62,4,6. Holomorphic anomaly equation. The series has the form

Zg;n(q)=P2g+6n−2(E2(q),E4(q),E6(q))∏k≥1(1−qk)12n,Z_{g;n}(q)=\frac{P_{2g+6n-2}(E_2(q),E_4(q),E_6(q))}{\prod_{k\geq 1}(1-q^k)^{12n}},

where P2g+6n−2P_{2g+6n-2} is homogeneous of weight 2g+6n−22g+6n-2, and it satisfies

∂P2g+6n−2∂E2=124∑g=g′+g”∑s=1n−1s(n−s)P2g′+6s−2P2g”+6(n−s)−2+n(n+1)24P2(g−1)+6n−2.\frac{\partial P_{2g+6n-2}}{\partial E_2}=\frac{1}{24}\sum_{g=g'+g”}\sum_{s=1}^{n-1}s(n-s)P_{2g'+6s-2}P_{2g”+6(n-s)-2}+\frac{n(n+1)}{24}P_{2(g-1)+6n-2}.

This conjecture is a modular-form expression for the generating functions and their recursive anomaly relation, motivated by physical holomorphic-anomaly arguments; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
