Hertling's asymptotic conjecture for CDV-structures on singularity unfoldings

About 24 years old · traced to

Let MM be the base space of an unfolding FF of a singularity with a CDV-structure, let R⊂MR\subset M be the real analytic exceptional subvariety, let E+E‾E+\overline E be the associated real vector field, let hh be the hermitian metric, and let Q\mathcal Q be the CDV endomorphism. For t∈Mt\in M, write FtF_t for the restriction of the unfolding to tt, and let Exp⁡(Ft)\operatorname{Exp}(F_t) denote the set of exponents of its singularities. Asymptotic conjecture. Starting at any t∈Mt\in M and proceeding sufficiently far along the flow of E+E‾E+\overline E, one does not meet RR anymore, the metric hh becomes positive definite, and the eigenvalues of Q\mathcal Q tend to

Exp⁡(Ft)−n+12.\operatorname{Exp}(F_t)-\frac{n+1}{2}.

This predicts the asymptotic behavior of the hermitian metric and grading endomorphism under the renormalization-group flow for Frobenius manifolds arising from singularity unfoldings; the source says that a part of the conjecture is proved in the subsequent theorem.
