Givental's conjecture identifying the Floer and quantum cohomology Heisenberg modules

From papers

Let MM be a symplectic manifold whose cohomology is generated by classes in H2(M,Z)H^2(M,\mathbb{Z}). Let D\mathcal{D} be the Heisenberg algebra of differential operators generated by qk=etkq_k=e^{t_k} and tk\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t_k}, and consider the H2(M,C)H^{2*}(M,\mathbb{C})-valued function

F=dKˇek=1rtk(ωk+dωk)eS1(Nd+)eS1(N0+).F=\sum_{d\in\check{\mathcal{K}}}e^{\sum_{k=1}^{r}t_k(\frac{\omega_k}{\hbar}+\int_d\omega_k)}\frac{e_{S^1}(\mathcal{N}_d^+)}{e_{S^1}(\mathcal{N}_0^+)}.

Equivalently, with qk=etkq_k=e^{t_k} and dk=dωkd_k=\int_d\omega_k, this is

F=e(t1ω1++trωr)/dKˇqdeS1(Nd+)eS1(N0+),F=e^{(t_1\omega_1+\dots+t_r\omega_r)/\hbar}\sum_{d\in\check{\mathcal{K}}}q^d\frac{e_{S^1}(\mathcal{N}_d^+)}{e_{S^1}(\mathcal{N}_0^+)},

where qd=q1d1qrdrq^d=q_1^{d_1}\dots q_r^{d_r} and the ratio is set equal to 11 for d=0d=0. Let GG be the function defined using the space of stable maps, which generates the quantum cohomology D\mathcal{D}-module.

Givental's conjecture. The Floer D\mathcal{D}-module and the quantum cohomology D\mathcal{D}-module are the same; equivalently, F=GF=G, with the components of FF giving appropriate regularizations of FTβ(Δ)\mathcal{F}_{T_\beta}(\Delta) and generating the quantum cohomology D\mathcal{D}-module as D/I0\mathcal{D}/I_0, where I0I_0 is the ideal of operators annihilating the components of FF.

The conjecture proposes a regularization of the Fourier transform of the Floer fundamental cycle and identifies it with the stable-map construction of the quantum cohomology module. In the toric case the relevant ratio of equivariant Euler classes is asserted to be definable, while its definition for general symplectic manifolds is conjectural.
